minus-squareGaMEChld@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·24 days agoI mean, he may be right that it’ll hurt the box office to polarize the public, but Superman is as much an illegal alien as you can get. Come to think of it, what is the story regarding his birth certificate, citizenship etc? Did Ma and Pa Kent claim a home birth and get him documented?
minus-squareDacoTaco@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down4·24 days agoDepends 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 ).
minus-squareHonytawk@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·24 days agoThat is only the story in a couple of comics of the 90’s. Since its conception in the 30’s, Superman has always been an illegal immigrant from Krypton.
minus-squareDacoTaco@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·edit-224 days agoCorrect indeed. Not sure why im getting downvoted though. He was an immigrant in most comics, yes. But not illegal lol
minus-squareT156@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·24 days agoWould he not be considered an illegal alien? It’s not like he was sent to the US under standard procedures. He was basically dumped at a US homestead.
