The quintessential symbol of heroism, of 'The American Way', Superman, was created during the rise of fascism and nazism by two Midwestern Jewish boys, one of whom had immigrated from Canada and whose parents were immigrants from Russia and The Netherlands. In the story introducing their character to the world, he saves a wrongly convicted woman from execution, stops a wife beater from killing his wife, and stops a slimy lobbyist and corrupt senator from roping the US into a war with Europe. i.e. it acknowledges that the justice system gets it wrong, that women can be abused and endangered by their husbands, and that congress has a huge corruption and bribery problem. Sounds pretty fucking woke to me. And a few years later had him literally punch Hitler. The idea that they didnt have anything to say with the character about prejudice, about immigrants adopting their new home and being adopted in turn, about politics, is fucking laughable... "too woke". No, Dean, you're too ignorant to think that he ever wasn't "woke".

An Illegal alien at that. He can't even claim Birthright Citizenship, if we still followed the Constitution I mean.

He's also not white so what does he gain from making a stink about this? Japanese superman was the most woke thing to exist until 2018, he's got no room to talk. His show was also basically about superman's girlfriend, an extremely woke interpretation of superman. We can do this all day lmao

Not that it is incorrect to call him an immigrant, but I do think "castaway" and "refugee" fit his situation a little better. Still a xenophobic thing to say he's not an immigrant. Every single document regarding Clark Kent's existence is falsified, so he is, by definition, an illegal alien.

Jesus is whitey white aswell

You're also forgetting he is generally considered a good guy and wears Red (valor and bravery) and blue(vigilance, peserverence, and justice) on the American flag. He doesn't wear white as that represents purity and innocence.

also El in the name refers to GOD too it as christian as it can get

In most versions, Krypton isn't destroyed by a civil war, but an ecological disaster. But your point still stands.

In what continuity is Krypton destroyed by a civil war?

You gotta add /s

These people want to be evil but hate being told that they're evil, so anything with an anti-evil message must be "woke".

Funny thing is I've been calling Superman an illegal immigrant for decades. All of the sudden it's not a joke anymore. It's a friggin comic book hero for crying out loud.

Did COVID make dumb people even dumber?

No, they were always that dumb. They probably just projected themselves onto Superman because he's a strong white man and clearly strong white people cannot be illegal immigrants because that breaks their pathetic little power trip fantasy.

I dont know how legit was the research methodology, but I did read a paper somewhere that even asymptomatic covid decreased peoples QI for a measurable ammount.

Maybe actually. They figured out what caused the loss of smell: brain damage

Probably, when did the original Superman even come? 40's? Records were pretty lazy back then, especially in rural America.

I don't even know if being "illegal" was a thing, we might have still had an open immigration policy.

But he's white, how can he be an "immigrant"

In Smallville, I think mama and papa Kent had help from papa Luthor in the paperwork department so officially they adopted an orphan. I don't remember what, if anything, happened to the original orphan whose info they used.

Depends on what comics. From what i read in some comic series he was actually birthed on earth and was able to run for president. While in other comic series he came as a baby and was adopted ( which, if unknown origins, means us citizenship iirc ).

Edit: not sure why im getting downvoted. I said what is true, that in most comics he's a baby that came from krypton, and due to us laws was basically adopted as a us citizen. Doesnt make him less of an immigrant...

Superman wasn't born in the U.S.A

DC furiously sweeping the "birthing pod" thing under the rug

(New 52 erased this I believe)

That last part is literally a plot point in Superman Smashes the Klan. Through most of the book, he avoids flying and heat vision for fear it will other him too much.

He was brought to (or rather, fired at) Earth as a baby. Arguably he should be first in line to be a DACA recipient.

He also spends his spare time literally fighting a billionaire, so there's that...

thank you, at least we have a definitive answer now: literally in the first comic book that he appeared in.

"Woke" literally means "anything the right doesn't like". It's used in the same way the Nazis used Degenerate. Remember that.

He think calling Wonder Woman a woman is "making her woke"?

That sounds exactly like something this twerp would say

Not just that. Pretty sure he fits the definition of “illegal immigrant” pretty well. Doubt that either the baby of the Kent family filled out any immigration or asylum forms

More context. Drunk history did a thing on it.

That was such a good book i loved the pocket size of the books associated well.

And that Lex Co. is strip mining it for a rare earth mineral, now the CEO is going to run as president because of those pesky environmentalists… wait !

He's also a powerful tool for the maintenance of the status quo

Which iteration was he? I'm in the wilderness and don't have any bars
