Behind the scenes
As he revealed at the 2016 New York Comic Con, Superman, or more specifically Clark Kent, is Steven Moffat's favourite superhero. In writing the Ghost (Grant) in The Return of Doctor Mysterio, Moffat was particularly influenced by Clark Kent, and took inspiration from the Superman films of the 1970s and 1980s.

A version of Superman appears as a playable character in LEGO Dimensions alongside the first 13 incarnations of the Doctor (including the War Doctor), existing in a parallel universe relative to the Doctor's own. As a result, the reference to Superman in WC: Supergirl Meets E.T. implicitly referred to the "real" Superman from his cousin Supergirl's home universe, rather than to the fictional version from the DWU. However, LEGO Dimensions is not considered a valid source by this Wiki, and this information is not present in Supergirl Meets E.T. itself, which doesn't actually preclude the possibility that Superman is a fictional character with no particular ties to the real individual Supergirl.

When Paul Kupperberg served as editor at DC Comics, he edited and sometimes wrote for Superman, among other titles, and also wrote for the newspaper strip of the same title.
