Craig King

The secret identity of the Superman of 2956. King is a mild-mannered telenews reporter for the Daily Solar System (TGSB). He assumes the role of the thirtieth-century Superman at the behest of a delegation of leading scientists who provide him with a variety of special scientific gadgets—including "concealed jet units for flight" and "a concealed degravitator to make heavy things light"—that enable him to simulate, albeit somewhat imperfectly, some of Superman's mighty super-powers. As the Superman of 2956, King attempts to bring a halt the mysterious scientific thefts that had been plaguing his era's city of Metropolis (Act No. 215, Apr 1956: "The Superman of Tomorrow").
