It's surprisingly fun to ask others what they make of the "S" on Superman's chest, and it usually tells a lot about what corners of the fandom different people are drawn to. For those who assume it stands for Superman, they'd be right in the simplest contexts rooted in his history. But others may recognize it as the symbol for the House of El, especially those who saw the 1978 Superman movie. Other movie fans and readers of Mark Waid's Superman: Birthright, or viewers of Man of Steel, grew to understand that emblem as a symbol of hope for his people. This is all a fair perspective to have, but in his most recent retelling, one version of Superman's logo has a darker origin.
