Not Krypton.
You smart ass.
Ohio.
Two high school boys, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, hatched the idea of the man who could bend steel with his bare hands in 1933. Hattie and Jefferson Gray have owned the home and lived there for more than two decades, tolerating unexpected visits by Superman fans.
Auction organizers hope the sale will raise at least $50,000 to fix the roof, replace rotting wood siding and repaint the house, with anything left over going toward upkeep and future repairs.

“It’s also great to see that we’re finally recognizing the creativity of Siegel and Shuster and what they did to create Superman,” he said. “We must save the house for future generations so people can take their kids to see it and be inspired to create something on their own.”
This is a job for…all you fanboys out there with loose cash rattling around those pockets of yours.
The auction‘s currently still going on so, get on that.
