I meant the whole Superman idea was Jewish by two Jewish men...They were Canadian Jews???...
Shuster was born in Winnipeg. I did not know the other guy was Jewish but he was American. I think living in Winnipeg or what we refer to as Winterpeg might be why the Fortress was of ice.

^Interesting!
I remember reading about them and how a hero fighting an evil Lex Luther fit right in with with events going on in 1938.
In the 1980s, the actors who played Lois Lane and Jimmy on the old TV show came to the World Trade Center in NYC, and I met them.

The whole idea is a Jewish Messianic man that is coming. Same thing the Matrix is built upon.

Snippet:
"Way back in the 1930s, teen science fiction buffs Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster became known for creating a legend.
You may have heard this story:
It took place in their 25th century. Faced with a world-shaking catastrophe, a parent placed a baby boy in a small craft, hoping he'll be propelled to somewhere safe. The boy was found and adopted and grew up incognito, eventually revealed in adulthood as a world-saving hero. But he still had his alien heritage to explore.
2448 was the Jewish year. The small craft was a basket, and the baby was Moses who was found, adopted and grew up incognito, eventually revealed in adulthood as a saving hero. His alien heritage: the Jewish upbringing that was denied to him.
While Siegel and Shuster were -- by any measure -- original thinkers, their origin of the last son of Krypton was a science fiction retelling of the rescue of Moses from Pharaoh's infanticide...
Jewish Connections
Superman is Kal-El of the family that had been known on Krypton as "The House of El," in Hebrew Beit El, which means "The House of God." Over the nearly seven decades since Superman first appeared, there have been numerous Jewish connections from Jewish creators Siegel and Shuster to Jewish director of Superman Returns, Bryan Singer.
