Superman Renounces [SPOILER] in Action Comics #900 – ComicsAlliance

From a “realistic” standpoint it makes sense; it would indeed be impossible for a nigh-omnipotent being ideologically aligned with America to intercede against injustice beyond American borders without creating enormous political fallout for the U.S. government.While this wouldnt be this first time a profoundly American comic book icon disassociated himself from his national identity — remember when Captain America became Nomad? — this could be a very significant turning point for Superman if its implications carry over into other storylines. Indeed, simply saying that “truth, justice and the American way [is] not enough anymore” is a pretty startling statement from the one man who has always represented those values the most.  — via Superman Renounces [SPOILER] in Action Comics #900 – ComicsAlliance | Comic book culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews.

  1. Seeing as how I doubt Kal-El of Krypton was issued a social security number (no long form birth certificate?) I would argue that Superman was never an American citizen. Clark Kent, on the other hand, was. But only because Ma and Pa Kent lied.

    This is a non-issue unless Clark Kent renounces his citizenship.
