I don't know that it has any specific origins, just shaped for an aerodynamic effect.  A wing would best describe it, but most people refer to it as a bonnet bird.

Its official name is bonnet mascot, and while 'bird' seems to be common in Vic, 'mascot' and occasionally 'aeroplane' is what they get called in NSW.

So it's both a bird and a plane, and whilst it probably wouldn't stop Superman, it could make a hell of a mess of anyone else......
