METROPOLIS — Superman is a registered Republican, as confirmed by LuthorCorp CEO Lex Luthor at a press conference on Monday.
"Superman is not who you think he is!" Luthor said. "He's no hero. He's a registered Republican and has been since 2024!"
Luthor reportedly discovered the shocking news after breaking into Superman's Fortress of Solitude and discovering his voter registration form. "I knew I was going to find something horrific, but I never thought it'd be that he was a Republican," Luthor later said of the find. "Maybe now the president will approve my 'Kill Superman' proposal."
According to Luthor, a copy of the Thomas Sowell book Basic Economics was also found on the Last Son of Krypton's crystal bookshelf.
The Man of Steel had not yet commented on claims that he was a Republican, and he may not have to, as most people already assumed he was a Republican.
"He can leap tall buildings in a single bound. That doesn't sound like a Democrat to me," said local dockworker Bibbo Bibbowski.
"Superman is an alien from another planet who perfectly assimilated into the American way of life and spends his own personal liberty doing good and helping others instead of calling on the government to do so," local man John Henry Irons said. "Are we supposed to be surprised he's a Republican?"
Others claimed his party affiliation was not particularly important since he just saved the city from a giant robot last week. "I was thrown off a fifty-story building, and he plucked me out of thin air to save my life," said local arson victim Angie Malone. "I don't really care what he thinks about military spending."
At publishing time, the news that Superman is a Republican backfired on Lex Luthor, whose company's stock plummeted following the announcement. "That's just another reason to hate Superman," Luthor said.
