That's an interesting contrast between traditional narratives of immigrant success (which implicitly included adopting all or most preexisting American values) and diversity/acceptance. I wonder how DC's Elseworlds fit in -- there hasn't been one in which Kal-El's skin wasn't "white." Supreme Power has done fascinating things with Batman/Nighthawk (as well as the other big DC characters), but now I wonder if that wasn't pulling its punches, so to speak: What would it mean for the greatest superhero of all to be something other than a straight white male?
