Clark Kent was created by taking the first names of actors Clark Gable and Kent Taylor. The Kent teach Clark he must conceal his otherworldly origins and use his fantastic poers to do good. Superman was considered a vigilante by the authorities, being fired upon by the National Guard as he razed a slum so that the government would create better housing conditions fort he is poor. By 1942, however, Superman was working side-by-side with the police.
