Stefan Andriessen

Stefan Andriessen

"The greatest explorer and adventurer of our times" and the founder of the Superman Museum, a man who has "scaled the highest peaks, plummeted [sic] the greatest depths of the seas, and penetrated the wildest jungles" on Earth. When word leaks out that Andriessen "is embarking on a strange secret adventure" involving the accumulation of Superman trophies and memorabilia from some of the most remote spots on Earth, Superman becomes fearful that the world-famed adventurer is attempting to unravel the secret of his dual identity. In reality, however, Andriessen's only motive is the founding and dedication of a Superman Museum. "I kept my plans secret," he explains later at a press conference, "knowing that if they leaked out, others might get the trophies and charge high prices for them!" (Act No. 164, Jan 1952: "Superman's Hall of Trophies"). (TGSB)
