That is only the story in a couple of comics of the 90's.

Since its conception in the 30's, Superman has always been an illegal immigrant from Krypton.

Correct indeed. Not sure why im getting downvoted though.
He was an immigrant in most comics, yes. But not illegal lol

Would he not be considered an illegal alien? It's not like he was sent to the US under standard procedures. He was basically dumped at a US homestead.

Yeah, and I'm sure that any of the paperwork that was involved in getting him a SSN or birth certificate must have involved some form of fraud in the process. Someone had to tell a lie at some point.
