Superman is seen as a symbol of America, reflected in his red and blue costume and marketing material describing his mission as the protector of "truth, justice, and the American way". He lives a secret double life, posing as the "mild-mannered reporter" Clark Kent. He specifically works in the news [[media]] so he can more easily hear about and attend the scenes of crimes. In most continuities, Superman is romantically involved with Lois Lane, a fellow reporter. His best friend is teenage cub reporter, later photographer, Jimmy Olsen. | Superman is seen as a symbol of America, reflected in his red and blue costume and marketing material describing his mission as the protector of "truth, justice, and the American way".
