I knew Superman was a domestic terrorist.

I’m not an expert but it might be tricky to argue that an actual bonafide genuine alien could be a domestic terrorist…

Superman is as American as apples.

That is a sentence I cannot disagree with.

Only because the path to citizenship for earth humans can be as long as 28 years in the united states. How long do you think it takes for a kryptonian?

“… earth humans…” What do you know that we don’t?

You could promise Supermán a green card - but tell him it’s the kryptonite that makes it green. He’d be in a right quandary then.

Seriously? 28 years - that’s monumentally absurd.

I mean, there was that time he tore down the homes of a bunch of low income people.

Was that the MOVE bombing? Because I'm pretty sure he blamed that on a black mayor.

From January 1939, Superman single-handedly tears down a low-income neighborhood. He wasn't attacking a group of political activists. He just decided that a group of homes were slums and thus worthy of being demolished.

Lol what amazing rationale there "hmm, if I destroy it, the government will build something better almost immediately! SIMPLE!"

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Superman is almost as great a menace to society as that maniac Spiderman.

...I mean, can we talk Batman?

EDIT: Also, let's not forget this fun time:
