Superman threatens to renounce U.S. citizenship

Superman threatens to renounce U.S. citizenship | The Raw Story: "LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Superman, citizen of the world?

The Man of Steel, in the latest issue of Action Comics which hit newsstands on Wednesday, said he intends to renounce his U.S. citizenship in a speech before the United Nations.

'I'm tired of having my actions construed as instruments of U.S. policy,' Superman said in a short story in the issue, Action Comics No. 900 from the Time Warner Inc unit DC Comics.

In the comic, Superman never actually renounces his citizenship, he only talks about his plans to do that.

But conservative commentators reacted with disgust to the new storyline, given that the fictional superhero has long proclaimed he stood for 'Truth, Justice and the American way.'"
