It’s a brand new day for the man of steel.
Continuing a recent trend of comic book characters coming out as LGBTQ, Superman is now confirmed to be bisexual and on the fight for global social issues, according to the DC team behind the character, who spoke to IGN.
This news is not for the traditional iteration of Clark Kent, but instead his 17-year-old son, Jon, who has taken up his father’s mantle.
“It is a pretty big deal doing it with Jon Kent as Superman … I hope this kind of thing will not be seen as a big deal in the future,” artist John Timms told IGN.
“It will be interesting to see him not only trying to find himself as a person but a global superhero in the complex atmosphere of modern life.”
That modern life — one where Jon has entered into a relationship with young “hacktivist” reporter Jay Nakamura in “Superman: Son of Kal-El” — will also be addressing the world’s societal problems along with intergalactic threats, according to writer Tom Taylor.
“The question for Jon (and for our creative team) is, what should a new Superman fight for today? Can a 17-year-old Superman battle giant robots while ignoring the climate crisis? Of course not. Can someone with super sight and super hearing ignore injustices beyond his borders? Can he ignore the plight of asylum seekers?”
That desire to do good for the Earth’s everyday needs is a trait not from Clark Kent, but instead one from Jon’s mother, the Daily Planet’s Lois Lane, Taylor said.
“Jon is the son of the fiercest, most effective journalist on the planet. With that, comes a strong sense of right and wrong, an instinctive dislike of corruption and a strong desire for the truth to win over misinformation.”

At least the Pumaman character is safe.
Superbinary should saunter/prance to the border and tear down that wall.
The Man of Steer...
Now superman will have an excuse for being locked in a closet with Jimmy Olson. Call him SuperFag.
That isn’t Superman.
More like SuperDuperman.
“...Jon has entered into a relationship with young “hacktivist” reporter Jay Nakamura...”
Well, since he claims to be “bisexual” and his boyfriend is Asian (by his name), it stands to reason he will have to have a black girlfriend...
As is Supersonic Man!
The giant robots are just as much a fantasy as the climate crisis.
This is why one issue of anime sells more worldwide than all Marvel and DC comics combined.
Why is Superman’s sexuality even relevant? Exactly who is it that Superman can have sex with who won’t be blown asunder by the sheer velocity of his “emissions” when he climaxes?
No one can stop him, he is supersonic.
The Silver-Age Superman would have simply used his freeze breath where needed to deal with global warming. The problems with Superman having carnal relations with any non-super/magic being is well-described in the piece “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex”. I have no idea why Supes didn’t just find a nice bride in the Bottle City of Kandor.
So he'll be cleaning out Washington, D.C., and a number of state capitals too.
The only surprise is that DC Comics didn’t have Jon Kent come out as trans.
I find it more entertaining watching foreign entertainment with out the woke crap.
Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s BuggerMan!
Able to leap tall buildings!
This looks like a job for PoofMan!
Yes it is news. The cultural front is news. We have to battle on the political front and the cultural front and any other front we can think of.
Uck. The left has used its perversion to destroy yet another thing a lot of us grew up with.
