Be Careful Future Supermen
There are curses out there that some people choose to believe in or not. One that comes to mind is the Madden cover curse that goes any cover athlete will endure an injury of some sort. Well, there is a Superman curse too.
“The so-called Superman curse got its start with George Reeves, an actor who played Superman on a 1950s TV show,” wrote History. “Typecast as Superman, he had trouble finding other work. Then, in June 1959, he was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Tragedy also struck Christopher Reeve, the star of four Superman movies, who was paralyzed from the neck down in a May 1995 horse-riding accident. In the first of those films, Lee Quigley depicted Superman as a baby. He died in 1991 at age 14 after huffing solvents from a can.”
