Superman Renouncing American Citizenship

[MoltenRock III]

The red-caped avenger, long mythologized as the embodiment of American strength and values, shocks readers in the comic's 900th issue by telling a White House official that he's changing allegiance.

'Which is why I intend to speak before the United Nations tomorrow and inform them that I am renouncing my US citizenship,' he says. ''Truth, justice and the American way' - it's not enough anymore.'

Republican potential presidential candidate Mike Huckabee weighed in over the weekend, saying Superman's threat is no laughing matter.

Pretty telling when even Republicans can piss off Superman enough to leave the country.

Well, he is "superman".
He is a person for the world.

This has to be one of the stupidest story lines I have ever read. What's next? Captain America becomes Captain United Nations?

The magazine isn't out until tomorrow, but...

Spoiler

He doesn't actually renounce it. He simply decides to spread his heroics outside of the US.

Mike Huckabee (Perhaps the most ridiculous second name I've ever come across) - "This is no laughing matter."

Mike. Mate. Supermans not real....

Fuck I forgot, this cunt doesn't have the best grasp on reality. How hard is it going to be when it comes round to telling him that Jesus doesn't exist either?

Hawr hawr hawr. I agree with you on the point of this being a stupid story-line for a comic like Superman, but no gratuitous UN bashing is needed.

 

[PSCGuy]

Interestingly, children accept their beliefs as reality--- no matter how stupid they are.

It ain't just children that do that...

He didn't earn the title "Superman" for nothing!

Why would the UN care?
