Title: Superman renounces American citizenship
Post by: vaskidmark on April 29, 2011, 05:43:15 AM: WTF?

The Man of Steel apparently will begin carrying a man-purse and ordering quiche. It is not clear if only Clark Kent will be commuting in a SmartCar or if "faster than a speeding bullet" will now refer to the type of train Superman uses to get from one place to another.

In "Action Comics #900," Superman will renounce his American citizenship, rejecting the international notion that his actions are part of US policy. The shift comes after a personal visit to Iran in support of protestors leads President Ahmadinejad to believe America was declaring war against the government in Tehran.

By rejecting his citizenship, Superman will now work on a grander international scale, because, as he says, "truth, justice and the American way... it's not enough anymore"

If "truth, justice and the American way" is not enough, who is to blame? Not that I want to turn this into a political diatribe, but either the plot reveals a low-dose Kryptonite poisoning has effected his mind or someone has been spreading patchtoulie around the drawing board as part of a nefarious plot to take over the world. Somebody needs to check Pinkie's fur to see if The Brain is behind all this.

stay safe.

But it still sounds like Mr and Mrs Clark need to be detained for harboring an illegal alien all those years. =|

Superman didn't hold a candle to the X Men and the Avengers. Then I turned 14, re-discovered guns(long story) and the fairer sex. My sons are Avengers fans, through and through...

Which reminds me. Heros, Inc. (http://www.heroes-inc.net/), a webcomic I follow. It proceeds in fits and starts, as the artist gets busy with other stuff. WWII era super heros, the products of a secret gov't super soldier program, now grown old and gray. They were obsolete, but now things are starting to happen again.
