But were guessing your sloppy2) depiction of Butt Man didnt make you a millionaire and change pop culture forever. That is, however, what happened when a young Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel first conceived3) the Man of Steel in high school. 　　Their design would wind up4) being the template5) for pretty much every superhero that would come later.
