In recent years, the Avengers had to intervene first as Public Square and Terminal Tower were taken hostage and strangely turned into a German city, and then they pretty much destroyed East 9th St just south of the Rock Hall. Just this week, Captain America was defeating some nemesis, which really messes up traffic.Cleveland has become the favorite filming location for latest summer superhero blockbusters, but we still celebrate our hometown hero: Superman, long rumored to be from the planet Krypton, the man of steel is a native Clevelander.
Superman began in 1933 as a daily comic by Joe Schuster and Jerry Siegel, who met in high school in the East Side Glenville Neighborhood. Siegel and Schuster were long denied credit for their creation, but Cleveland has a long memory. You can find out more about our superhero heritage at Carol and John's Comic book store in the Kamm's Corner neighborhood, and you can even pick up a map of local Superman heritage sites.
