According to the 1976 DC Calendar, today is the birthday of Clark Kent. It is the anniversary of the date that the rocket-ship carrying baby Kal-El arrived on Earth. For the rest of their lives, Martha and Jonathan celebrated this day as the date their son came into their lives.
That makes Clark Kent a Gemini. Buttering someone up to get what you want isn't necessarily an evil manipulation. Sweetness, kindness, flattery, and smooth handling might be what's required to make things fit together.
As an extra bonus, here are a few Clark Kents.

ReplyDeleteAnd here I always thought it was February 29th. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/GraphicCity/news/?a=55524
ReplyDeleteSuperman's birthday IS recognized as February 29. He got so many questions about when his birthday was from all his fans that he picked that date publicly to cut down on the number of parades and celebrations. That was established in a '50s Superman story.
DeleteClark Kent would naturally have a different birthday than Superman. ;-)
:O
