Superman

The legendary Christopher Reeves was the pioneer to don the Man of Steel cape on the silver screen, setting a high bar for all subsequent Supermen. His signature hair curl, chiseled jawline, and robust frame crafted an unforgettable image of an American hero. Even today, when we envision a superhero, we can’t help but conjure up Reeves’ iconic portrayal.

In a cruel twist of fate, Reeves was tragically transformed into a quadriplegic after a rogue horse sent him flying. Now, he relies on a portable ventilator to breathe, a mechanical lifeline tethering him to existence. Yet, even as he battles these adversities, he remains our unwavering hero, a beacon of resilience and determination that continues to inspire us. His story is a testament to the enduring spirit of humanity, a saga of courage that transcends his physical limitations.
