Superman
Character » Superman appears in 18942 issues.
Sent to Earth as an infant from the dying planet Krypton, Kal-El was adopted by the loving Kent family and raised in America's heartland as Clark Kent. Using his immense solar-fueled powers, he became Superman to defend mankind against all manner of threats while championing truth, justice, and the American way!
Pre Crisis or Post Crisis
precrisis i liked alot more since it showed off how powerful superman really is, but post is great once they buffed him up a little better and the stories are good
I like the Pre Crisis superman...that is what I usually think of when I think of superman. Not depowered and rediculous hair.
I'm going with post-crisis.
Pre-crisis Superman is the reason so many people hate him.. "Ooh I don't like him cause he's overpowered!" "I hate him cause he can beat anyone! He gets no challenge in doing things!" Non-cannon people! Non-cannon!
Damn I hate haters!

I think Post-Crisis is way better. PC was only good because he was so powerful, but his stories weren't the best and a lot of people do only think he's over-powered and don't like him because of the Pre-Crisis version.
Pre-Crisis did have some good stories. It's just most of them didn't seem too good. Some PC Superman stories I liked included "Superman, You're dead, Dead, DEAD...", Kryptonite Nevermore, For the Man who has Everything, Pretty much any issue which had Pre-Crisis Mongul, and a few others.
I don't know that it wiped out Post Crisis Superman, he and Lois were still married.
I preferred Post Crisis Superman, the idea that there should only be one Kryptonian on the planet added to his uniqueness. No Krypto, no Supergirl, no Kandor, no Phantom Zone, he was truly the last of his race. Then all of that slowly crept back in and there was nothing but convolution again.
With the Relaunch, they've wasted no time in establishing all of these things right off the bat, but what can I do? What's next, Streaky the Cat?
With the new 52 reboots, I am still hoping to see : ultra humanite, more phantom zone villains, Kandor with Van Zee Nightwing and Ak Var Flamebird, Beppo.
Grew up reading Post-Crisis, but I find Pre-Crisis Superman comics fun to read as well. Don't really have a preference, depends on what mood I'm in really. However, there was alot of mythology created in that Pre-Crisis/Silver Age era, and by extension, I suppose I appreciate that stuff more. Just wouldn't go so far as to say I PREFER it always.
