Superman
So, is it true that Superman has renounced his American citizenship?
Tangentially, if I were Superman I would have spent a lot of time making sure that other humans didn't fear me.* Apart from anything else, I would definitely have avoided the Nazi overtones of the pseudonym Superman.
I think my plan would have been to approach the United Nations and offer to clean up after natural disasters. That's as non-political as it gets. I would swoop in and rescue people from mudslides and tsunamis and fires.
Then, after people had had a chance to get used to me, perhaps I could volunteer to interact with things caused by people. I could fly that powerplant in Japan ten thousand miles away in space, for a start.
after that perhaps I could start intervening in human affairs.
* Because this is terribly important to Clark Kent. BTW: his parents must have been the best socialisers *ever*.
