what does the s on superman's chest stand for?

Question

The Answers: The "S" inside of the then triangle, now diamond shape has a couple of dimentions, First off, it does not and never will stand for Superman nor Son of JOR-EL(JEHOVAH-GOD). The "S" on JOR-EL's chest was and is the "IMAGE/IKON(Greek) of the Beast" inside of a womb. The "S" you see here is an inverted fedus of a red serpent or snake. This red serpent is representative of the "red dragon" of the book of revelation. Dragoon (Hebrew):Jackal. The ikon/image in this triangle/diamond Womb is the then Fedus known as KAL-EL later to be known as the Superman. Here comes KAL-EL all rapped in JOR-EL's technology crafted Womb/Matrix blazing down from the heavens in a ball of fire "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven".. ergo the symbol below "Superman: The Dark Side" 1998. The triangle is also known as a Delta, meaning: Open door, or an opening ,a gate way to other dimentions like the one on the movie "Hell Raiser" A portal to that which ever is rising up out of the abbyss/bottom

Answer 1

That’s an interesting theory, but it doesn’t necessarily make it so. Long ago, DC started publishing Superboy. That title had the adventures of Superman when he was a boy; before the latest revision that he developed his powers slowly and did not have a heroic career as a teenager. When he first appeared in public and people asked him what it stood for, he introduced himself as Superboy and stated that the ‘S’ stood for Saving lives, Stopping crime, and giving Super help to anybody in need.

Answer 2

I'm guessing that initially when Jerry and Joel created it it was for Superman, later it has been retconned to be

The El family Crest
A national if not global Flag of Krypton
and an alteration, of either Hope, or Father from the kryptonian language

It is possible it could mean more depending on the era.

In 'Its Superman', an alternate Universe novel set in the 30's Clark worked as a stunt man in Hollywood, before embracing his journalism career, and he modified his Costume from a film that was cancelled called "Spacemen from Saturn"

In Smallville, the School mascot was a Crow that wore a S emblazoned shield, and red cape, so its possible in their universe its a mod on that and an homage to his heritage in Smallville

Its meanings and origins have almost as many incarnations as their are media in which he appears

Answer 3

Per my knowledge, when he was created it literally stood for Superman...as the story was fleshed out and his Kryptonian heritage was explored more in the comics, the symbol was revealed to represent the House of El on Krypton.

Answer 4

Its the Symbol of his family on Krypton. Coincidentally shaped like and English language 'S'.

Answer 5

Do you think they thought that far ahead when they first created him?

Now that it's been going on for years and through different incarnations, there are different versions.
