I mean, literally all people would get their asses kicked if they got into a fight with either super man or hercules
Lucy Lawless could probably take down Hercules.
I would just pray to hera that zeus wouldnt shut up about how hercules is his favorite son and how he cheats on her constantly. I would feed superman non stop blackpill content until he just leaves the planet.
Getting myself involved in the family drama of the greek gods? I would probably rather just take my ass kicking.
Gonna be hard to black pill a super human, that is very handsome in all the conventional ways, who was raised by good parents. He would probably just try to get you into therapy.
Meddling in the affairs of Mt. Olympus is a good to get turned into animal. Or a monster. Or impregnated by Zeus.
get turned into animal. Or a monster. Or impregnated by Zeus.
Zeus: 
Also Zeus would probably have minimal qualms about transing your gender so us guys aren't particularly safe either. Though that's more of a Norse thing weirdly enough since I'm pretty sure Odin, Thor, and Loki all turned into women for various reasons.
Loki turned into a mare, got pregnant by a magic stallion, and gave birth to an eight-legged horse.

Sorry, I forgot you existed Dean Cain.
Every once in a while I'm reminded of what an absolute dipshit one of my fondly remembered actors from childhood is

He's litterally an alien.
An Illegal alien at that. He can't even claim Birthright Citizenship, if we still followed the Constitution I mean.
He can’t even claim Birthright Citizenship
Canonically, I believe he was still technically gestating in the pod before he arrived. So he's more of an Anchor Baby.
Wasn't he a child getting told to become space Jesus by Marlon Brando when he was still in the space pod?
What else would superman be? Are you gonna change the lore so Krypton is a small town in Kansas?
And that Lex Co. is strip mining it for a rare earth mineral, now the CEO is going to run as president because of those pesky environmentalists… wait !
Wait can someone explain since when is superman not an immigrant? Bro literally fell from the sky or some shit from an alien planet. How the fuck is he not an immigrant? Oh right hes white.
Not that it is incorrect to call him an immigrant, but I do think "castaway" and "refugee" fit his situation a little better. Still a xenophobic thing to say he's not an immigrant. Every single document regarding Clark Kent's existence is falsified, so he is, by definition, an illegal alien.
They actually changed this in the mid-90s (and since changed it back). From 96-09, he was a legal US citizen because his "rocket" was somehow just incubating the embryonic Kal-El and thus he was ACTUALLY born on American soil from the Birthing Matrix.
he was ACTUALLY born on American soil from the Birthing Matrix.
Reader: "How is he not an immigrant alien?"

I mean from a lore standpoint thats interesting but for the overall story him being an immigrant works much better.
In principle a baby found on U.S. soil that you cannot find the parents of is assumed to be a baby born in the U.S. and therefore a U.S. citizen by birth according to the 14th amendment.
Anyone who thinks they are going to be sent to a concentration camp could ditch their baby at a fire station and I can't see how it wouldn't be a citizen.
You can't prove the child came from insert country unless you are taking blood samples from all the kids and populous and cross checking them to see if they match. It would cost way more than just ignoring it.
Mother's give home births all the time. And if people are anti abortion, then they better be ready for a lot of babies dropped off at fire stations without paperwork

Dean Cain was in one of the 'God's not Dead" movies. That tells you all you need to know about him.
Die in a fire, Dean.
Everyone this movie matters to already understands Superman enough not to be bothered by the comments of some has-been actor who clearly never understood the character he portrayed.
I mean technically Superman is a refugee
And an immigrant
I mean, he may be right that it'll hurt the box office to polarize the public, but Superman is as much an illegal alien as you can get.
Come to think of it, what is the story regarding his birth certificate, citizenship etc? Did Ma and Pa Kent claim a home birth and get him documented?

Red Son is the only correct version of Superman.
Everything else is bourgeois revisionism.
If the only thing Cain has to whine about in 2025 is denying Superman's leftist origins written by depression era immigrants, he's really got nothing to complain about or is trying to distract from some bullshit or sell something
He tries to stay relevant by being a right wing influencer. He is the definition of has been.

How is it a mistake? Kal El is literally from another planet! The term "immigrant" or "alien" could not possibly apply more.

From a 1949 book cover distributed to schools by DC.

Superman as an immigrant's story is one of the oldest and most obvious analyses of the character. It's barely even subtext; it's just text. Imagine how he'll react when he finds out Superman was originally a New Deal socialist who went around smashing up corrupt capitalists' businesses for safety violations.

Cain voted for Bill Clinton twice, and voted for Al Gore in the 2000 United States presidential election, the latter of which he later said he regretted.[21] He supported John McCain in the 2008 election, and supported Rick Perry in the 2012 election.[30] In 2016 and 2020, he endorsed and voted for Donald Trump.[31][32] He also endorsed him for the 2024 election.[33]
In 2018, Cain was elected to the board of directors of the National Rifle Association of America.[34][35]
