As a bald-headed villain, the original Superman resembles the later Lex Luthor more than the later Superman.|]] "The Reign of the Superman" (January 1933) is a Short story written by Jerry Siegel and illustrated by Joe Shuster. It was the first published use by the writer/artist duo of the character name Superman, which they later applied to their archetypal fictional superhero. The title character of this story is a telepathic villain, rather than a physically powerful hero. (Although hyphenated at the break between pages on the story's opening spread, the name is spelled Superman in the magazine's table of contents and the story's text.)
