Supermanning is a photo-based meme trend that evolved from the planking craze of the early 2010s. It involves an individual lying flat on an object, or sometimes just the ground, with their arms extended forward to mimic the iconic flying posture of Superman. While it gained massive traction as a physical challenge among internet users, the term also relates to Soulja Boy's viral 'Crank That' dance and NFL star Cam Newton's touchdown celebration. Today, the template is most commonly used to represent someone moving at high speeds toward a specific goal or performing a dramatic, heroic entrance in an everyday, mundane situation.
