Which character is nicknamed 'Superman' by the others?

• A. Ponyboy
• B. Two-Bit
• C. Darry
• D. Johnny

Answer: (C)

Darry, the oldest Curtis brother, is nicknamed "Superman" because he embodies strength, protection, and steady leadership. He works two jobs to support Ponyboy and Soda, enforces the rules to keep the family safe, and steps in to handle dangerous situations. The nickname reflects how the gang and his brothers view him as the dependable, capable protector who can rescue or fix tough problems, much like a superhero. The other characters have different traits—Two-Bit for humor, Johnny for being the quiet one, Ponyboy as the younger brother—so the nickname highlights Darry’s dominant, protective role.
