He's been using his powers to help and save people on a small scale for more than half a decade, but he only recently put on the red and blue suit, and was named "Superman" by Lois Lane at the Daily Planet, where Clark starts working as a reporter. Superman is a bright spot in a world of real problems, stopping tornadoes, putting out forest fires, and saving kittens from trees. We already knew Superman was powerful, that he could defeat powerful beings, but now we find out that, more than that, he is a friend. It's a love story. A story of the city and people of Metropolis, the people of tomorrow, a cynical people who don't know if they can trust someone as powerful as the Man of Steel, falling in love with the Superman and choosing to trust him, just as Superman is falling in love with them, and Lois, with all of the obstacles that usually get in the way, such as a radicals who believe superheroes are too powerful to be unsupervised, mass destruction caused by battles costing the city hundreds of thousands of dollars, other super-powered individuals some view as more effective, and the forces of people such as Lex Luthor.
