Is it true that in the US copyright laws do not protect original ideas because they are not considered intellectual property?

United States copyright laws do not protect original ideas. They protect the expression of those ideas. For example, if someone in the 1930s had an idea to create a comic superhero, copyright laws would not protect that idea (the creation of a superhero) only the way in which it was expressed (Superman). Someone else could later create a different superhero without infringing upon the original idea so long as it did not take too many of the similar traits. For example, Spider-Man, Batman, Hulk all are acceptable alternate expressions of an original idea to create a superhero.
