Superman
Superman, also called Kal-El, was a superhero who existed as a fictional character in multiple universes.
His origin story involved his father, a scientist, shooting him into space in a space pod when he was a baby so that he could survive the imminent destruction of their home planet, Krypton. The baby then landed on Earth in Kansas, where he was adopted by a kindly family called the Kents. (PROSE: Morning After)
A comic with “some guy bashing a car” was published in 1938 in one universe. Mr King's newsstand in Chicago received this comic at the same time as a Jenny Everywhere comic. Although King noted that the one about the “guy” “could be a winner”, he seemed more invested in promoting the Jenny comic. (COMIC: Miss Adventure)

In another universe, Jenny and her neighbour David were both familiar with the story of Superman. They discussed the similarity when, due to shifter hangover, Jenny got glimpses of memories of an origin story for herself that sounded suspiciously similar. (PROSE: Morning After)
“A bottle filled with a miniature universe” containing “the story of Kal-el” was one of the items within the Jenny Everywhere Museum in the Strange and Wonderful House. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Jenny Everywhere Museum (cont'd))
A version of Superman was one of the guests from across the Multiverse brought to the grand opening of the Oasis Springs Nudist Resort by Jenny Everywhere and Jenny Anywhere. He was seen relaxing in the pool not far from Storm. (VIDEO: Grand Opening)
Behind the scenes
The “guy” mentioned in Miss Adventure is self-evidently Superman, with the comic being none other than the iconic Action Comics #1, although this is not explicit.
Criterion was described by his creator Johann-Octavius Gans as a “Superman/Hyperion expy”.
