E Nelson Bridwell and Unca Mort established Kal-El's birthday as
29 Feb back in 1967. Happy Birthday, Superman!
Clark Kent had an annual birthday. It wouldn't have done to
have Lana Lang throwing a surprise party for both on the same day!

Can you repeatedly say "Leapling leaps tall buildings.."
faster than a speeding bullet? (Kapwing!!!)
Of course, back in WHIZ COMICS #52, MAR 1944,
Captain Marvel laid claim to the 29th as the day
The World's Mightiest Mortal celebrated his "birth."

That's 13 years earlier than Supes got around to it,
and 5 Leap Years! (6 if you count `44.)
Happy Birthday to the Big Red Cheese!
