Missionary Position

Superman made his Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade back in 1940. The "Giant Superman" measured 75 feet in height and 44 feet in width with 9,000 cubic feet of helium needed to help the superhero fly down the streets of Manhattan. A crew of 27 husky handlers helped guide the balloon down the street, all donning Superman-themed apparel.  That version of the balloon only appeared once, but a version the Man of Steel continued to appear from 1966 through to the present.
