Superman vs the KKK

He might be a dick, but anybody who goes after the Klan is okay in my book.

:smiley:

Oh, and in case you’re wondering why I say Supes is a dick, here’s why. :wink:

Naw, he’s a dick because he is a mean drunk. :smiley:

Sherlock Holmes and Supes battled the Klan? Sweeeeeet!

Isn’t that the one where the Klan stole his Aussie grill?

I’m not really sure how a pissed-off Kryptonian versus the Klan lasts more than 5 minutes. Unless it’s Streaky the Supercat, who presumably would play with his prey before heat-visioning them.

Yes, I know Streaky is an Earth cat. Shut up.

Superman in the early days didn’t juggle planets. He could lift cars and bend steel. Good stuff, but his stength wouldn’t match Spider-Man’s today.

Maybe the Klan had one of those Kryptonite crosses Jack Handey wrote about.

Yeah, but he was still bulletproof and super-fast, and, frankly, irascible, likely to decide that the best way to teach those racist bastards a lesson was with a bone-breaking. It’s still a 5-minute fight.

The KKK/Superman crossover appears prominently in the book Freakonomics, incidentally (which is where I learned of it), but I can’t remember how exactly. (For those who haven’t read it, the book is basically “fun with statistical correlations” in modern America.)
Stetson Kennedy’s claims have come under heavy dispute, though he maintains them. (Wiki but well researched on the controversy.)
