The Early Fortress

A version of the fortress of solitude


During the Silver Age, Superman had a fortress built on a cliff side with a giant keyhole. Superman uses a giant key buried in the snow to open the fortress door. When the key is buried, it's top can be seen and is disguised as an Airplane path-indicator. The Fortress is obviously Batman-inspired it had a Supercomputer, Super-mobile(in case Superman is powerless)and a host of trophies. Superman once used the Supermobile when a asteroid with the properties of a red sun passed over earth. The Android got free and battled the JLA and only Superman was left. Superman escaped to the Fortress and used the Super-mobile to defeat the Android. It also houses a steel diary, it's pen is actually thought guided and writes whatever Superman thinks. There is also the infamous Phantom Zone Projector at the Fortress and the bottled city of Kandor.

*Artifacts found at the Fortress

Phantom Zone: In those day, when you beam someone with the Phantom Zone projector he turns into a Phantom , no one can see, hear or feel him but they can see and hear you. Superman communicates with them using a form of telepathy. Most of the Zoner's reside on Earth since Jor El (Superman's father) was the one who imprisoned him. Thy only way to see a Phantom Zone prisoner is by a special pill. The prisoner is given a pill before he is sent to a ghost like state and when light is passed on to him his skeleton becomes visible. So far only one prisoner who swallowed the pill escaped from the authorities. This prompted the Prisoners to make an oath to help a fellow Prisoner and (even Superman) if the need be.

Bottled city of Kandor: Just like the T-Rex in the Batcave, the city of Kandor is a staple of the Superman lore. Originally the city of Kando

Fortress Of Solitude
