History:
As the planet Krypton exploded and a civilization died,
baby Kal-El was rocketed to safety by his parents.
Arriving on the planet Earth and adopted into the care
of Jonathan and Martha Kent, Kal-El would discover
he had amazing powers and abilities because his alien
physiology was exposed to the rays of Earth’s yellow
sun. Raised to live as a human with the utmost moral
standards, Clark would strive to be the best he could
be in every situation.
Metropolis, Canada: Superman's
Canadian Connection
A young Toronto boy stands on a downtown sidewalk in
the 1920s, amazed by the futuristic beauty of the growing
capital of Ontario, Canada. In the pages of the newspapers
he sells on a street corner, he discovers the alternate
realities offered by another new wonder: the comic strip—
a wonderland where heroes, villains and aliens battle in the
broad universe of imagination.
Illustrator Joe Shuster was just such a boy. He would
move from Toronto, Ontario, to Cleveland, Ohio, at the age
of 10 and eventually meet a like-minded young American
named Jerry Siegel. Together, they would create one of
the world’s most memorable comic book characters and
the city he serves: Superman and Metropolis.
When Joe Shuster closed his eyes to picture the bustling
city of Metropolis, it was the Toronto skyline that filled
his mind. In the early years, Clark Kent works for the
Daily Star, not the Daily Planet as the name would
eventually become—a tribute to the Toronto Star that had
been so formative for the Superman illustrator, opening his
mind to the amazing world of the comic strip.
Over time, as Superman’s popularity exploded, the
superhero and his city evolved as new generations of
writers and illustrators took up the mantle. But the
foundations of this character and his world are forever
tied to the origins of the men who first gave them life.
