Interview With Superman

1. What’s it like being a superhero?

S: Being a superhero, you have to be someone everyone looks up to. You’ve got to keep your composure no matter what happens. Sure, it can be hard sometimes, but keeping the world safe is well worth it.

2. How do you feel being an alien from another planet?

S: I was sent to Earth when I was just a baby, so I don’t really know much about my birth parents. But over the years, I’ve gathered a bit of information about my home planet. A part of me wishes that Krypton hadn’t exploded, but the other part is happy that I was sent here to become Superman.

3. How was your childhood growing up with superpowers?

S: When I was a child, not many of my powers had developed. It took quite a while for me to learn to control all of them, too. If you don’t count the powers, I’d say I was a pretty normal boy growing up. I tried out for sports and had crushes on girls like any other guy.

4. What was your life like before you became Superman?

S: My life was pretty much the same. I helped civilians out secretly. Eventually, I came out into the open and became Superman.

5. Did you ever consider a different profession other than a superhero?

S: Back then I don’t think being a superhero was even a job. Ever since I was little, I’ve tried to use my powers to aid others. After I graduated from college, I traveled the world for 8 years helping people.

6. What are your feelings toward your heritage?

S: To tell you the truth, I didn’t really care for it when I was younger. But as I matured, I realized I made a mistake ignoring my past. To honor my Kryptonian background, I wear my family’s crest on me everyday.

7. There are rumors that you have a sort of safe haven someplace. Is this true? If so, what do you go here for?

S: It is true that I have a safe haven. I call it my Fortress of Solitude. Most of the time, I go there to think and rest. It’s sort of like my secret base.

8. What is it like being one of the last of your kind?

S: In the beginning, I felt different. I felt like nobody else was like me. I wanted to be normal. Eventually, I found out that I had a cousin, Supergirl. Now, I know. I’m not alone.

9. What’s it like being married to a human?

S: As you know, I love my wife very much. I mean, why else would I have married her? Lois brings me joy everyday. That’s why I became a superhero, to protect the things I love.

10. How did you feel when you first appeared in the skies as Superman?

S: Before I became Superman, I thought for a long time if it was the right choice to make. Eventually, I went with my instinct. And when I first flew through the skies, I saw hope and inspiration in the eyes of others. I knew I made the right choice.

This is a transactional piece I wrote to inform people about Superman's life. I don't know if I sound like him, though. I would like it if you help me sound more like a superhero.
