―Perry White's common catchphrase
Perry White is a supporting character in the Superman comics. He is the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet and Clark Kent, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen's boss. Perry is a hero and ally of Superman known for being a strict but fair boss.
As time goes on, Perry becomes close to Clark, who comes to see him as a protege of sorts, and develops a father-daughter relationship with Lois Lane.
He was created for the The Adventures of Superman radio show (February 1940), and then was introduced into comics by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster shortly afterward, first appearing in Superman #7. (December 1940)
