OK. So I am a really old fart. But I once got Action comics by mail. And if I remember my Superman history well (and I could be wrong), his earth mother made his cape and costume from his blanket in his rocket. The 'S' was a later adaptation when he realized he had super powers. So, if that is all the case, how does 'Dad' get the S on his costume?
