FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET ($60,000 – $70,000)

Did you know Superman (a.k.a. The Man of Steel) was co-created by a Canadian?

In 1933, along with his high school friend, Jerry Siegel, Toronto-born artist, Joe Shuster created the character, while living in Cleveland, Ohio.

Other Canadian connections to the Superman empire include the premise that the Daily Planet was based on the Toronto Star and the city of Metropolis was inspired by Toronto’s skyline. What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?

Absolutely nothing!
