Another Superman in the making.

Will Reeve — the son of late superhero star Christopher Reeve — made an appearance at the Bring Change To Mind Gala in New York City on Monday evening.

The 31-year-old ABC news journalist stepped out with girlfriend Amanda Dubin for the star-studded event.

Will looked just like the “Superman” actor in his dark navy suit, tie and light gray button-down.

Will and his ladylove attended the gala alongside A-listers such as Ryan Reynolds, Reba McEntire and Amy Schumer.

The correspondent is the youngest child of Reeve, who died in 2004 at the age of 52.

The “Somewhere in Time” star was paralyzed from the neck down in 1995 after being thrown from a horse during an equestrian competition.

His mother, Dana Reeve, passed away from lung cancer just two years after Reeve’s death.

Will is currently a board member on the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, an organization dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by advancing research.

He got candid with People in 2016 about growing up with his famous dad, despite the latter’s disability.

“[My parents] were the people who told me to turn off the TV, to eat my broccoli, to go to bed,” he said.

Will went on: “I understand that not every child experiences going to the grocery store and seeing their dad on the magazine at the checkout aisle, but…it was a totally normal childhood.”

The broadcaster added: “The fact that he was paralyzed did present its own set of challenges because we couldn’t be spontaneous.”

“My parents did such a good job of staying true to their values that I never felt deprived of a normal childhood, even though my experiences, at face value, were inherently different from other children my age,” he said.
