Not related to OP, but I was thinking bout Grant Morrison "Nazi Kal-el" story in multiversity. Uberman wins WW2, goes off to space, and comes back to find the Nazis committed genocide(s). The current society is great, almost utopian, but Kal-el struggles with the moral question: "Is it better to support and improve the current society, or should a society built on genocide be destroyed?" As an American, this question cuts me to my core.
That said, taking DC's pre-existing human bomb character and making him a Muslim suicide bomber was too much. An editor should have pulled Grant Morrison back from that idea.
But I always see this issue hated online, as "misunderstanding Superman." Like, Grant Morrison wrote All-Star Superman first, and if you read their book on superhero theory, it clear that no one loves good guy superman like Morrison. It's impossible to discuss the comic's good points.
