Joe Schuster and Jerry Siegel created the famous Superman that we all know and love at the brink of World War 2. The first of many rejection letters they received from the idea rejected them because 'the idea was too fantastic, nobody would believe it.' Decades later, Superman is still a worldwide phenomenon. Maybe it is fantastic, but I think that at the start of WW2, it was just what America needed. Superman was a symbol of hope; both then and now. I think that's why he's become such a legend; because even when we become too old to believe in Santa, we can still believe in hope and sometimes it's all we have.
