I love when history is painted with such a broad brush.

If I'm not mistaken over the years there have been many stories where, even though he embraces his Kryptonian heritage, he show that how he grew up as a Kansas farm boy is who he really is at heart.

This is just another reason why I gave up on modern comics and don't see anything to return for.

While true for the "modern" era (post crists reboot by John Byrne) it changes in the post ww2 to 85 focused more on his kryptionian history not Clark.

See this? It's actually in Canada.


Our Canadian North Pole is called "Nunavut" in our native tongue, and you can even see it from space on Google Earth by zooming in.

[samurainoir]

Didn't anyone read Red Sun?!! I've been saying that he is unamerican for years.

Joe Shuster's dad immigrated to Canada from The Netherlands, and his mom was Ukrainian.

I've read the story. I was going to wait, but curiosity got the better of me. It's not the big deal everyone is making it out to be. Infact, it makes a lot of sense.

SPOILERS





Superman isn't dissing the USA. He still loves it and will fight to protect it. Clark is still American. I'm positive what Superman wants is to be declared a citizen of the world. This will free him up to save people everywhere around the world without reprisals against the American Government. It seems when he goes places that are not friendly with America, it can be looked upon as if he was working for America. Thus he's accountable for any actions taken against his home country and he doesn't want that.

Yeah, you're right again! No other country in the world ever does anything charitable or helpful to other countries.
