and this is in keeping with that.

I still can't believe my grandmother threw out my father's Action Comics with the first appearance of Superman. Oh well.

Like the peoples of the nation whose values he defends, Superman is an alien, but not just
any alien. He's the consummate and totally uncompromised alien, an immigrant whose visible
difference from the norm is underscored by his decision to wear a costume of bold primary
colors so tight as to be his very skin. Moreover, Superman the alien is real. He stands out
among the hosts of comic book characters (Batman is a good example) for whom the
superhero role is like a mask assumed when needed, a costume worn over their real identities
as normal Americans. Superman's powers--strength, mobility, x-ray vision and the like --are
the comic-book equivalents of ethnic characteristics, and they protect and preserve the vitality
of the foster community in which he lives in the same way that immigrant ethnicity has
sustained American culture linguistically, artistically, economically, politically, and spiritually.
The myth of Superman asserts with total confidence and a childlike innocence the value of
the immigrant in American culture.

They'd probably also file charges for him carrying those kids across international lines.
