The reverse design mimics a comic book splash page with a coloured and engraved rendition of SupermanTM, flanked by those who helped forge his legacy. The Man of TomorrowTM stands in the centre in a calm yet powerful stance; at the bottom on either side are scenes from his infancy, with the Els to the right and the Kents to the left. Also found to his left are his friend and long-time love interest Lois Lane, and friend and closest ally Batman. On Superman’s right are his pal Jimmy Olsen and Wonder Woman, whose strength and power often rival his own.
