Canada Post will debut a series of stamps Friday at Fan Expo Canada celebrating the Toronto roots of the Man of Steel.

While Superman was created in 1933 by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster when they were teenagers living in Cleveland -- a fact commemorated with placards, an airport display and vanity plates -- Shuster was actually born in Toronto, and lived there until age 9 or 10. He worked as a newspaper boy for the Toronto Daily Star, whose building served as a model for the Daily Planet (originally called the Daily Star).

“The thing about Superman is that he is like the ultimate hyphenated citizen. He is a Canadian-American-Kryptonian superhero,” the Toronto Star quotes Canada Post spokeswoman Keisha McIntosh-Siung as saying. “He’s really a timeless hero.”

The limited-edition series of five stamps, which goes on sale Sept. 10, celebrates the 75th anniversary of Superman's debut in Action Comics #1. Each stamp features artwork from different eras.
