Background information
Many Star Trek actors have appeared on TV incarnations of Superman, and a few have made appearances in the movies as well.
A Starfleet carry case was sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. As an inside gag, an inventory application on this case has the line "Don't tug on Superman's cape. Don't spit into the wind. Don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Jim." [1]
Apocrypha
Superman appears in Star Trek - Legion of Super-Heroes #3 as a flashback during an explanation of the United Planets in comparison to the United Federation of Planets.
