CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Appears two cities in Illinois and Kansas are stealing the ‘Man of Steel’ Superman’s origin story and hometown, or trying to cash in on the fictional ones. Just like North Carolina has long claimed to be “First in Flight” despite the Wright brothers, who made and flew the first plan operated out of Dayton, Ohio.

In response, instead of calling Spiderman or Cleveland natives Calvin and Hobbs ‘Spaceman Spiff’, Ohio House Rep. Terrance Upchurch, a Cleveland Democrat, and House Rep. Adam Mathews, a Lebanon Republican, have co-authored House Bill 270 that would declare Superman the Official Superhero of Ohio, having been created in 1933 by Cleveland Glenville High School classmates Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster.

Illinois State Legislature has recognized the city of Metropolis, Illinois as the Official Hometown of Superman. That city has a Superman statue and museum.

Superman has also been enshrined in the Kansas Hall of Fame. This is because in the Action Comic book story of Superman, first published in 1938, Superbabyboy was sent from the planet Krypton to Earth, landing not in a Mar-a-Lago Trump crib, but on the farm of the Kents in Smallville, Kansas, who named him Clark.

The Kents in Kansas lived down the yellow brick road from Dorthy, her dog Toto, Auntie Em, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Wizard of Oz.

Across the street now lives Travis Kelce, Cleveland Heights native turned Kansas City Chiefs Tight End and Taylor Swift boyfriend. Instead of silos he has Super Bowl trophies.

In the actual nonfiction Superman story, the character was first drawn up in the minds and art pads of classmates Siegel and Shuster at their Glenville homes in 1933, flying into Action Comic Books in 1938. That is why the newest Superman movie was filmed in Cleveland last year and is set to be released July 11.
