Right-wing Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, when asked what superhero he would be, told an audience that he would be Superman, completely missing the fact that Superman is really Kal-El an undocumented immigrant from another planet who recently renounced his American citizenship.

Radio DJ and Internet vlogger Jay Smooth (see above) points out that Superman also takes on all the back-breaking work that other Americans don't want to do and lives a double life that he can't let anyone know anything about.
