It was not until Clark Kent's late teens and early twenties that he mastered his superpowers. His adoptive parents taught him the responsibility of having such powers and how to use them wisely. He protected for the right of humanity and believed everyone had some good in them. No other superhero carries that trait. He is one of the most human superhero's ever. Only few people knew the true identity of Superman
One of Superman's biggest trait is having a 19 th century western protegé . In the early days, Superman had a combative and rough personality. Since then, writers have lightened up on the violence making Superman have a boy scout persona. Superman is now a man with incredible feeling. Another trait that Superman has a difficult time establishing a good relationship with a woman. He and Lois Lane always had their set of love issues.
