Censoring The Man Of Steel
During World War II, Superman was censored. We know, what on earth could prompt a superhero being censored during times of war? Nuclear weapons are what could prompt such an act. And it wasn’t even Superman’s fault, it was due to his enemies.
“During World War II, with the top-secret Manhattan Project in full swing, any mention of nuclear weapons in the popular press drew the government’s ire,” wrote History. “DC found this out when it developed a comic book in which Superman’s archenemy, Lex Luthor, launches an attack with what he calls an ‘atomic bomb.'”
