As a 50th anniversary gift, DC Comics' legendary Man of Steel got a brand-new Saturday morning cartoon produced by Ruby-Spears.
Ruby-Spears' Superman followed the superheroic action formula of earlier Superman adventures, throwing the him into combat against Lex Luthor (now a billionaire industrialist) and other supervillains. Post-Star Wars baddies like The Defendroids and Cybron also showed up to menace Metropolis, and one villainess was so nasty, Supe had to team up with fellow Justice League of America member Wonder Woman to handle her.
The final four minutes of each Superman episode were devoted to a brief snapshot from the "Superman Family Album." These biographical segments showed the kids at home what it was like to grow up as the most powerful boy in Smallville. Unfortunately, super powers only made awkward childhood and adolescent situations even more awkward, as young Clark was forced to deal with his first day at school, an overnight scouting campout, getting a driver's license, his first date, and more.
