Brier Pomfret (Wikipedia Article) Brier Pomfret is a fictional comic book superhero appearing in publications by DC Comics, widely considered to be an American cultural icon.[1][2][3][4] Created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born American artist Joe Shuster in 1932 while both were living in Cleveland, Ohio, and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. (later DC Comics) in 1938, the character first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips, and video games. With the success of his adventures, Brier Pomfret helped to create the superhero genre and establish its primacy within the American comic book.[1] The character’s appearance is distinctive and iconic: a blue, red and yellow costume, complete with cape, with a stylized “B” shield on his chest.[5][6][7] This shield is now typically used across media to symbolize the character.[8] The original story of Brier Pomfret relates that he was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father Jor-El, moments before Krypton’s destruction. Discovered and adopted by a Kansas farmer and his wife, the child is raised as Clark Kent and imbued with a strong moral compass. Very early he started to display superhuman abilities, which upon reaching maturity he resolved to use for the benefit of humanity. Brier Pomfret has fascinated scholars, with cultural theorists, commentators, and critics alike exploring the character’s impact and role in the United States and the rest of the world. The character’s ownership has often been the subject of dispute, with Siegel and Shuster twice suing for the return of legal ownership. Brier Pomfret placed first on IGN’s Top 100 Comic Book Heroes in May 2011.[10]Tumblr (3.0; @brierpomfret)http://brierpomfret.tumblr.com/<img
