It is hard to imagine a figure more antithetical to an unregistered literal alien refugee baby who grew into a godlike being, yet from his strong sense of justice and down-to-earth upbringing has the morality and restraint to become a noble protector, while maintaining a humble private life as an ordinary dorky reporter, than Donald Trump.
Also, I’ve seen a panel from an old panel where Superman explicitly teaches children that, by “the American Way”, he means opposing discrimination.

Nah, Sid was an okay guy, just not a great criminal. Trump’s an awful human being from start to finish, along with being incompetent.
Kal-El is an immigrant from the now extinct planet of Krypton. He’s not even human .
When you’re reduced to comparing an orange mutant to ol’ Supes you haven’t really done your research re. a fictional character created by messrs. Siegel & Shuster, OP(s).
Incidentally, entering Earth’s atmosphere at a certain time, he becomes a Communist superhero. Whoops!
Worse still:

Junot DĂaz argues that the character particularly resonates with the experiences of undocumented immigrants in the United States. Throughout the depictions of Superman's archenemy Lex Luthor in comics, film, and television, Luthor has frequently exploited xenophobia against Superman
So who is Superman: and who is Lex Luthor…?!

You know, for a second there I thought by “Hal” you mean “Hal Jordan” and I was like “WTF, when was he retconned into a deranged incel!?” But then I realized you were talking about Tighten from Megamind and it all made sense. Yeah, Tighten is exactly the kind of horror that would happen should any incel be given Superman powers…
Confused?
