If You Didn't Know Superman Was a Progressive Illegal Immigrant All Along, You Weren't Paying Attention
Let’s get one thing out of the way right now: Superman is an illegal immigrant. Not in the Roswell autopsy sense, but in the "crashed his spaceship in Kansas without a visa" sense. He didn't wait at the border. He didn’t fill out the paperwork. Ma and Pa Kent didn’t stand in line at the Smallville Department of Extraterrestrial Naturalization. Nope. Baby Kal-El skipped customs, took refuge in a cornfield, and has been living that undocumented life ever since.

Stronger Than a Buller, Softer Than a Heartbeat
In July 2025, James Gunn, acclaimed for his work on Disney’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, embraced a narrative path that many superhero and comic book storytellers have previously shied away from. With Superman: Legacy, Gunn delves into the mythic origins of Superman—Clark Kent, or Kal-El—as an immigrant. He portrays him not merely as an alien or the last son of Krypton with god-like powers, but as a profoundly human character shaped by his outsider identity, his alienness, his otherness, and his difference. This time, his cape doesn't conceal his true nature.
