| #21 Superman never impressed me as the brightest bulb on the tree. Six bullets bounce off your chest, then you duck when they throw the gun at you? What a maroon... |

| #20 So is it superman or Clark Kent that is renouncing? Because I never really imagined Superman voted or paid taxes and his only property was on the North Pole. |

| #18 ...and the bureaucratic nightmare of having to get a passport just to go to Canada or Mexico let alone the rest of the world which goes back to that birth certificate thingy. |

| #17 Clearly racist. Superman hates Obama. The trauma of discovering that Nobama was born in Hawaii after all was just too much for the poor guy. Al |

| #14 I suppose those among us who own comic book shops out here in flyover country are pretty much screwed. (I don't. Thankfully). |

| #13 I guess he no longer supports truth or justice, nor the American way. So untruth, injustice and the unAmerican way. The Obama administration will love this guy. |

| #12 ...couldn't come up with that Kansas birth certificate? |

| #11 A few problems - 1. You can only renounce at US Embassy/Consulate in a foreign country and 2. Unless you have citizenship in another nation, the US will not normally accept the renunciation. The G won't make you stateless. |

| #9 The sales and marketing people probably think they will sell more comics into the "international market" if they strip Superman of his American identity. Hope it bites them in the ass. |

| #8 Pure cowardice. If any of the original writers and illustrators were alive today, they surely would be dead by now if they have heard of this. |

| #7 So the character introduced in the midst of the Great Depression that had the creed of "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" is no longer an American? You will notice that they waited until all of the original writers and illustrators had died off to pull this stunt. |

| #5 The genius of Superman is that he belongs to everyone, for the dual purposes of peace and protection. HeÂ’s above ephemeral geopolitics and nationalist concerns, a universal agent unlike any other found in pop culture. He's a fool not to realize that he's giving up his generous Social Security entitlement. |

| #4 And they wonder why no one reads comics anymore. |

| #3 Clark Kent then quits The Daily Planet in protest over a failed attempt to organize for collective bargaining rights. He then moves to Key West to be with his life partner, Jimmy Olson, as he battles depression and substance abuse. He occasionaly pens an eco-justice column for the Huffington-Post - now owned by Lois Lane. |

| #2 So...Superman leaves the USA, because the USA did nothing to help Iranian protesters and no longer has American Values? Typical Kansas racist. |
