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.”

Super Fruitcake.
Ace and Gary are happy
True, and they are so in your face!!! I hope sales tank!
Superman has sex with a woman, she dies.
Superman has sex with a man, he dies.
Superman has sex with Supergirl, it is incest.
his boyfriend had better be very careful about that rod of Steel
With the tight body suit and cap I always thought he was a fag and Lois was his beard.
Hey, he used to write a column in the Madcity Music Guide called Get Bent! Didn’t know he was still active.
I always figured Robin was the fag...
Since he is Superman, the man of steel, there are going to be a lot of wrecked rectums.
Or Richard Simmons...
Wait! He’s not transgendered!?! I’m not reading it in protest! /sarc
Is nothing safe any more?
Is there nothing they won’t defile with their prog lies.
Superman...really?
If someone has nefarious purposes, I wonder where he will hide the kryptonite.
I was thinking more like Fabulous Them.
It’s no secret the Gay Mafia runs the comic book world these days, and has, for several years now. They’ve been ruining cherished characters one after the other, re-making them to suit their own perversions.
A real pity for the young generation.
I like that, it’s got a ring to it...
“It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Fabulous Them!”
Oh man that’s checkmate
I’m glad I wasn’t eating when I first heard this disgrace on my car’s radio. Can nothing remain decent and moral in this country? Must the commies ruin everything that made this country great? I wish they’d all catch a dread disease that would wipe them out in a week.
😉👌👍
