Lois Lane was modeled on Joanne Carter, a model hired by Shuster.Īfter six years of searching, the first Superman comics were published by National Allied Publications, the primary precursor of DC Comics. Shuster modeled the character's physical appearance on actor Douglas Fairbanks Sr., and his bespectacled alter ego, Clark Kent, on a combination of silent-film actor Harold Lloyd and Shuster himself, with the name "Clark Kent" derived from movie stars Clark Gable and Kent Taylor. Later, they reused the name The Superman for a new character, a superpowered hero who stood up for the oppressed. The story was not successful, and the character was not used again. In 1933, Siegel and Shuster created a short story titled "The Reign of the Superman" in which the title character, a bald telepathic villain, was bent on dominating the world.
