'A slight on the US': Superman to RENOUNCE his American citizenship in a new storyline

He has always been the most patriotic of superheroes as the champion of truth, justice and the American way.

But Superman has sparked a whirlwind of controversy by renouncing his US citizenship in a shocking twist in the Action Comics' record 900th issue this week.

The Man of Steel is not giving up his nationality because of heavy taxes or health care reforms. He makes the move after being caught in the middle of a diplomatic row between Washington and Tehran.

But it effectively leaves him as an illegal alien.

The storyline has incensed some comic book fans who claim it is a slight on the US.

'Besides being riddled with a blatant lack of patriotism, and respect for our country, Superman's current creators are belittling the United States as a whole,' Hollywood publicist and Republican activist Angie Meyer told FOX411's Pop Tarts column.

'By denouncing his citizenship, Superman becomes an eerie metaphor for the current economic and power status the country holds worldwide,' she added

In the story, Superman gets panned for making an appearance in Iran to support the country's rebel protests. It mirrors the comic book trend to mirror real life events.

Ashamed to be American? Ex-patriots give up on US
