I do like Dan Jurgens' response to it though.

And even in JB's "Man of Steel," the Kents passed off Clark as having been their own child, born during a blizzard that left them cut off from society for a few months. That was an act of fraud!

In those scenarios, baby Clark would end up being registered by the government as an abandoned baby of unknown parentage.

I mean, if THIS is the focus of his reporting, I can't imagine he gets MONEY for it. 'Cause I'd LOVE to get a piece of THAT pie!

Fictional characters have long been used to demonstrate real world opinions and actions... how many super heroes have met the president, etc.?

But by Heaven, Hell, and all the Outer Realms, THIS is what bothers this reporter bozo? He must be pulling out his own hair about Uncle Sam or Captain America.

Of course, being on the fourth or fifth reality/reboot by now, no one knows for sure, but Superman was granted citizenship by all the member of the United Nations in the 60s. Post-Crisis, he was officially (and legally recognized) born on Earth in America... no naturalization necessary.

If someone has to go deeper than that to object to Superman being a hero... it's time to stop drinking the Kool-Aid (tm) and seek professional help.

Hard to tell the difference these days!

That he says such a thing, in outrage, pretty much tells us all we need to know about his moral compass.

Also, this part: "Remember when Superman stood for truth, justice and the American way? Then again, Clark Kent is technically an illegal alien – a native of Krypton."

So he admits that Superman has always represented the immigrant/refugee in American life — but treats the idea of progressive politics in Superman comics as some new, diabolical turn.

It's like the Burger King location closest to me, which I refuse to patronize: They give you an intelligence test, and only hire you if you fail it.

(Seriously. The BK near me is that bad. Even the managers don't care.)

Cuz y'know, he's never done that before, ever. It's not like his raison d'etre or anything.
