This week in Action #900, Superman declared himself a citizen of the universe andrenounced his American citizenship.
An American icon succumbs to PC bullshit …
I thought you’d be happy. He’s an illegal alien after all.
Out of curiosity, Lonesome, how long has it been since you’ve bought a Superman comic?
He has ceased to buy comic books ever since Captain America partnered with The Falcon.
Ah, I was wondering when the tighty-rightys would start complaining.
I’m sure Clark Kent is still an American.
Your passport please, Mr. Superman. Oh, you don’t have one? You are not a citizen of any nation? Then I’m sorry sir, but you have entered the United States illegally and without permission. We must ask that you leave and not return until such time as you have your paperwork in order.
Great! But don’t worry, you still have Captain America isn’t?
Correct me if I’m wrong but in John Byrne’s comics, Superman did not emerge form his birthing matrix until after his ship crashed in Kansas. If that is the case, then he’s as American as you, me, or anyone else who emerged from a birthing matrix within the United States.
Shuster’s plan finally comes to fruition…
Wow, Superman, this seems like an awfully over-the-top way to dodge jury duty.
Can’t be a genuine citizen without the long form. Why doesn’t he show us his birth certificate? What is he hiding?
I did the same once those two “got married”…
When did Superman stop being a citizen of Earth? This was explicitly part of his character in the Silver Age.
I thought the UN declared Superman a citizen of every country. He’s certainly helped the people of the world, regardless of race, creed, or nationality. So why would his actions be seen as reflections of US policy?
Well, he couldn’t help it, okay? He and Clark Kent were slated to appear in the same group, and he knew that if Superman dodged out, nobody would fuck with him, whereas Clark would get litigation up in his ass.
You do realize that Byrne’s Superman was more than a quarter century and over 600 reboots ago, don’t you?
It was silly anyway, since even without the birthing matrix, he’d still be a natural-born citizen, as a foundling whose citizenship was not challenged before his 18th birthday.
We need to stop buying the comics and boycott the bullshit movie that’s coming out.
Suddenly, this photo makes a lot of sense… :eek:
