SUPERMAN: New Details on the Abominable Snowmen Around the Fortress of Solitude

So, remember when that Superman toy leaked showing the Man of Steel a montrous Yeti? Some fans chalked it up to standard toyline nonsense, cool-looking figures with no real bearing on the movie. But it turns out... that snowy beast is very real.

Thanks to a newly released children’s tie-in book for Superman, we now have confirmation that the Abominable Snowman isn’t just a one-off creature, it’s part of a whole tribe of them. And they live in the icy region surrounding the Fortress of Solitude.

Here’s the exact quote from the book:

“Abominable Snowmen live in the cold region around Superman's home, the Fortress of Solitude. Despite their difference in size, Krypto loves to chase these big creatures!”

Picture Superman soaring through the skies while his super-powered dog bolts across the frozen tundra, gleefully chasing massive shaggy cryptids. It's a weird and wonderful little detail that totally tracks with what we know of James Gunn’s approach to this new DC Universe, leaning fully into the more fantastical, sci-fi-heavy corners of the lore.

And if you're a longtime comic fan, the idea of strange creatures lurking around the Fortress isn't new. Superman’s comic book sanctuary has always been more than just an arctic man-cave. It’s been a museum, a memorial, and even a sort of interplanetary zoo.

In the Silver and Bronze Age stories, Superman kept endangered alien beasts in containment, often rescued from dying worlds. The book doesn’t say it outright, but you have to wonder, are these Abominable Snowmen descendants of that old zoo? Did something escape containment years ago... and multiply?

Whatever the case, it looks like the Fortress of Solitude isn’t quite so solitary anymore.
