Superman, co-created by Jerome "Jerry" Siegel (1914–1996) and Joseph "Joe" Shuster (1914–1992), and published by DC Comics, was the first of the great comic book superheroes and one of the most recognizable of the 20th century. Quintessential elements of the character's mythos include the planet Krypton, the city of Metropolis (an exaggerated version of New York City), and The Daily Planet newspaper with its reporters Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Perry White, and Jimmy Olsen.
Superman has been in a number of stories involving the story Frankenstein, whether interacting with a version of Frankenstein's Monster (including one version specifically created for the DC Universe), or having his own adventures which parallel the 1931 film.
