It's a 🐥, it's a 🛩️, it's Superman!

On February 29th, we celebrate the birthday of the iconic superhero, Superman! This special day is recognized in popular culture as the day to honor the Man of Steel, who has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions around the globe. It's a unique occasion to celebrate, as February 29th only comes around once every four years, making it the perfect birthday for a character that never seems to age.

In the Superman mythos, his birthday is traditionally celebrated on this date due to the fact that it is a leap day. This is a playful nod to his ability to "leap tall buildings in a single bound." In the comics, there was also a similar logic that held Krypton's year was significantly longer than Earth's.

One of the best-loved Superman stories of all time, "For the Man Who Has Everything," was published on February 29th, 1985. This tale, written by the legendary Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, takes place on Superman's birthday and has since been adapted into an episode of Justice League Unlimited and a 2016 episode of Supergirl.

As we celebrate Superman's birthday on February 29th, let's take a moment to appreciate the joy and inspiration he has brought to generations of fans. Happy birthday, Superman!
