    Well, Superman wasn’t born in the U.S.A to parents in the U.S.A…

    He travelled as an unaccompanied minor to the USA. I hate to say it but it seems pretty obvious to me he’s not from 'round here with the whole flying and laser eyes thing too.

      That last part is literally a plot point in Superman Smashes the Klan. Through most of the book, he avoids flying and heat vision for fear it will other him too much.
