If superman was born in the hood instead of smallville, into a more outgoing, less geeky type of person do you guys think the story would be more exciteing.
We can't make stereotypes about people. Few black people are in/or act like what is thought of as being ghetto. Most black people are somewhere in the middle class, its just that due to old hateful problems in this world, the preception of them that we see in the media or other places is based on the few negatives of some black people that deal with poverty and the lasting effects of being held back so long .
I'd be interesting to say the least. I'd see him signing up for the basketball team instead of football like in Smallville. He does have some up. He'd dunk al over everybody all day.
I can see him chillin' on the block sayin "whadup dog" instead of "hi" and giving slap daps instead of handshakes. He'd still be Clark though. With cool looking glasses though. Going to school and being rightious. He'd just have a Superman suit with the African colors red, black, and green with his cape being green his suit being black and his tights being red. And instead of the signature Superman haircurl on the forehead, he'd have a sharp-ass lineup with tight cornrows.
His name would be Brotherman. That's how i'd see a Superman from the 'hood.

No, he'd be interesting. He wouldn't be more interesting to you because you find the white Superman interesting enough. Only Superman from the ghetto wouln't be born in Kryptonite. He'd come from Krooklyn. Where I was born.
Up, up and away, foo!

If Superman was "from the hood" he would still be in this space ship because people in the hood tend to mind their business and not have gone near it. They would talk about it, point at it and even show it to other people, but for the most part stayed clear. Then the cops would have shown up in response to ray-ray getting killed 5 weeks ago at the same corner and the government would have gotten their hands on it and he would be in his ship in a lab.
