Superman is no longer an American.
In "Action Comics’" new record-breaking 900th issue, the fictional iconic super hero renounces his U.S citizenship following a clash with the federal government.
The Man of Steel, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1938, has always been recognized as a devoted American warrior who constantly fought evil, but as of Thursday, he is no longer the country's own to claim.
No word yet if Superman will change his red and blue suit, or his longtime motto "truth, justice and the American way" -- but the landmark issue is certainly sparking controversy.

"Besides being riddled with a blatant lack of patriotism, and respect for our country, Superman's current creators are belittling the United States as a whole. By denouncing his citizenship, Superman becomes an eerie metaphor for the current economic and power status the country holds worldwide," Hollywood publicist and GOP activist Angie Meyer told FOX411's Pop Tarts column.
I wonder if this will hurt future sales?
ReplyDeleteWHy care, he is a comic like Obama... Just a joke not real...
ReplyDeleteObama is a wanna-be star and is working on a movie now.
ReplyDeleteThe name of the Movie?
The Collapse of the Greatest Country in History; starring Barry Obama and Co-Star Congressman Barnie Franks as HELEN.
Good riddance we already have enough libs in power here now.Too bad it's not real, I was hoping Barak would do us all a favor and go with him.
ReplyDeleteSo...you're mad that an illegal alien anchor baby isn't an American citizen?
ReplyDeleteThis whole thing is a 9-page non-canon story anyway. I guess you read the comic and got angry when the government was ready to assassinate him in it, too.

ReplyDeleteIt's a comic book. I read them as a child. When I became a man, I put away childish things.
Hmm,
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought Obama was a Comic Strip.... BIG EAR OBAMA
In ten years or less, he'll be speaking Spanish and running drugs to help the downtrodden illegals fight back against "the man", who is constantly trying to "keep him down". I would suggest the Border Patrol NOT try to shoot him. or hide behind a rock in the desert waiting to ambush him. Krytonite is your ONLY weapon.
