Ghost of a flea: Superman

Superman

It was only a matter of time before the creator of the Man of Steel would be featured in the Flea Presents Great Canadians�. I can vouch for Toronto the Good as the inspiration for Metropolis. It could be this is why I yearn to live in Gotham City. Now, how are we going to break the news to the Chaos Overlord?

Yes, Superman had Canadian origins, Joe Shuster, the comic strip artist who created Superman, was Canadian and his early drawings of Metropolis were fashioned after the buildings and skyline of Toronto, his hometown.

That's no ordinary burn... yes, it's a super-burn, my friend!

I know. Its times like these when a man truly needs a Fortress of Solitude. With Kleenex. Lots and lots of Kleenex.
