Originally he was sent as a baby.  It was only recently that they rebooted the story to use the gestation chamber.

You're right that he was originally sent as a baby. It was in 86 that things changed. I wonder if things have been changed since then. I read the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" series back in 85 that made sweeping changes to the DC universe. I know that there have been other two or three (maybe more) "crisis" stories since then that have made changes including negating some of the stuff that happened in the 85 series. I just don't know what the changes are. For all I know in the current continuity he may have arrived as a baby.

I haven't read any of the comics since the 70's , but occasionally something like this pops up in the news and I'll read several articles about it.  They usually give some recent background on story lines.

Superman was all for the American way when he was kicking the crap out of Japs and Nazis. Now Superman is supposed to be some PC metro-fag in tights. Fergit'em ::)

Agreed Claymore. The left has their stickly little poop fingers all over this, and it really makes me sick.

If the left could find some way to debase hot dogs, baseball and apple pie they would. The resulting hue and cry wouldn't be about food and sports.

Well, it's fairly likely that some of them can, and have deFaced hot dogs... :whatever:

I don't think that he technically is illegal though he is an alien. I believe the capsule that he came to earth in was a gestation chamber. He was actually "born" after touching down in Kansas. Meaning he was born on US soil UNLESS they have retconned that with the several "Crisis" series they've had in the last few years.

Also, although I haven't read any new comics in years I seem to remember a few years back that DC took some heat for changing "truth, justice, and the American way" into just "truth and justice." I just can't remember how far back that was.

The change to "truth and justice" came about during the last Superman movie in 05 or 06 (I'm not sure exactly when).  Don't bother watching it, it was a turd.

Despite him renouncing his US citizenship, it should be obvious that Superman is a conservative and shares most of those values.  If he was a liberal, he would use his power to enforce his beliefs on people  instead of just enforcing laws.
