Makes sense, it'd be really hard to keep up the international superhero thing if everyone sees your actions as a matter of backdoor U.S. imperialism. On the other hand, Clark Kent is still a private/tax paying US citizen and Bruce did it first on Earth-0.

isn't his us citizenship kind of fraudulent anyway? unless he went through the naturalization process i suppose. but then technically i don't think you can do that if you enter the country without a visa.




this sounds like the kind of thing stephen colbert could have some fun with.

Hmm. Given what happened to his home planet, obtaining a long form birth certificate may be challenging.

Edit: Related. (http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/04/thieves-steal-sign-marking-supermans-cleveland-birthplace/) Apparently someone stole Superman's birth certificate plack.

Wait, does this mean Superman has been subliminally promoting illegal immigration all these years?

Are there Superman Birthers now?

"The original was incinerated when my home planet exploded" isn't an excuse, Kent. Where's your REAL birth certificate?!

I think in the the Detroit issue of Superman's walk around America he told other aliens they couldn't live here and they were like, "Why not? You are"

Also, fuck that issue. Their way to solve Detroit's problems was magical alien technology.

Ask Donald Trump.

And ask him if he has a Birth Certificate for that Alien on his head.
