The Fortress of Solitude

Superman’s secret sanctuary is bigger than it appears, yet the Man of Steel can balance the containment sphere housing his “Fortress of Solitude” on the tip of one finger. Originally conceived as a safe repository for preserving Kryptonian culture and artifacts, Superman utilizes the Fortress – now housed inside an infinite interdimensional space – as an occasional escape from the demands of heroism. Hidden high atop a mountain ledge, the Fortress remains safe and secure, accessible only to the Last Son of Krypton and his closest allies.

Sinced the fixed location of his previous Antarctic Fortress made it an easy target, Superman appreciates his now mobile refuge. Only Superman is strong enough to align the sphere’s complex puzzle-plates. The now-mobile Fortress was relocated somewhere in the Andes.

The current Fortress is home to Krypto and his dog-sitter "Ned" (the last remaining Superman robot), and contains the current version of Kandor, a portal to the Phantom Zone, Kryptonian and alien artifacts, and holographic images of Jor-El and Lara. The caretaker of the Fortress is Kelex, a Kryptonian robot that is a descendant of the robot that served Jor-El.

However, Superman recently recovered a piece of Kryptonian sunstone, which Lex Luthor had used to awaken an ancient Kryptonian warship. Superman revealed that the sunstone had been sent with him from Krypton, and used it to construct a new Fortress in the Arctic. He nevertheless plans to restore the Peruvian Fortress, even if compromised and no longer in a secret location, and plan more Fortresses around the world, reachable to the mass as a public frontend.
