So Superman's decsion to renounce his US citizenship has offended you so much that you have decided not buy another Marvel comic again, eh? :wink:

A local conservative newspaper writer did a huge Op Ed on this, and I quote; "I cannot let myself believe, that the company that made Captain America, would let a writer do this to Superman.".


But then again, this guy has a hard on for attacking Apple, because Tim Cook (who will most likely take over, when Steve leaves) is gay, and is pushing a pro-gay message. So, facts and this guy seem to be arch-nemeses.

It shouldn't matter, but it's also a stupid thing for them to have slipped in there... It's not like Superman has a paper with him registered as a citizen, and it's not like Clark Kent is renouncing his citizenship. It should have just been a line of "I belong to the world, not to America. I don't care what you think."

If Superman isn't an American, he might as well be a terrorist!

I'm canceling my subscription to ALL the Deadpool books.

That's 700 dollars Marvel won't be getting from me every month!

I think there was some story a while back where Superman was granted citizenship in all nations, actually.

EDIT: Found it. Probably no longer in continuity, though.

Same for me, except Wolverine, not Deadpool, and $1200, not $700.

I think the real question is, is the cake in continuity?

Hah!

This whole thing is amazing.

Someone should show these people a copy of Superman Red Son and say that is Superman now.

Fox News is mad about this, considering they have almost run out of things to be enraged at in the real world, it was only a matter of time before they got mad about things in fiction.

Their entire network is based around it.....

I will go no further into that joke, don't want infraction for religious bashing, but you all know what I mean

 

[Random]

Fox News is mad about...

Those five words basically describes fox news no matter the subject.

As I said in the other thread this just really seem pointless because it's not like Superman actually had citizenship to begin with. Because he really doesn't need it, nor use it so it's just pointless. Superman is just the idyllic symbol Clark Kent uses to inspire the world as he uses his ability for good, it's just so pointless getting upset over the citizenship of what is, basically, a fictional character...

:?










:sure:






Heyyyy... wait a second...

 

[DARKKNIGHT]

I'm too drunk to think of something witty to say about this, but I will in the morning...

 

[ProjectX2]

Do you guys know who wrote the story where Superman announced this? None other than David Goyer, the writer of the next Superman movie.

Uh oh.

 

[The Overlord]

I demand to see Superman's long form birth certificate.
