In 2004, Mark Waid's Superman: Birthright series says the S-Shield is the Kryptonian symbol for 'hope' and Superman believes it may have begun as a coat of arms for the House of El. This was also included in the 1997 Superman encyclopedia. The symbol was featured on a medicine blanket given to an ancestor of the Kent family by a Native American tribe after he helped to cure them of a plague and was supposed to represent a snake, an animal held to possess healing powers by the tribe (implying that, by wearing this symbol, Superman was a metaphorical healer). After the Superman reboot story The Man of Steel, the symbol's story was that it was designed by Jonathan Kent and was derived from an ancient Native American symbol. One of the first alternative meanings was presented in Superman: The Movie, in which it was not an S, but rather the S-shaped Coat of arms of the House of El as it was Brando's idea to have Jor-El wear the 'S' as a family crest, folklore spun off from there. Initially, the S-shield had one meaning: S for Superman.
