Abstract This article explores the history of Superman to offer commentary on the changing nature of Burkean identification across distinct historical periods. Beginning with the creation of Superman in 1938, I explore Superman’s Golden, Marvel, and Contemporary Age revisions addressing his construction of ethos as a means to establish grounds for identification.
