The American Pantheon

We Europeans have Classical, Norse and Celtic mythology, but the Americans don't have a mythology of their own. Or do they?

According to this mythology, Superman is the offspring of Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty, and Bugs Bunny is the archetypal trickster god. And there's a god of new, shiny things. But where's Elvis? Or, for that matter Ronald McDonald? And there really ought to be a God of Cars, to whom thousands are sacrificed every year.
