He probably felt his Superman costume was incomplete with only one S.

When you do actions that would make Superman look at you in shame, you need to rethink your actions. Especially if you fucking played the character and worse the costume. It's one thing if you're already overweight Lex Luthor but you never learned some compassion from one of the most honest and completely good characters in all of fiction that you portrayed? Sheesh what a douche.

... one of the most honest and completely good characters in all of fiction

Clearly, you have no familiarity with the original comics. 😅😶

I didn't read any comics either
Care to give us some hints of examples?

Was thinking of superman always as alien immigrant, who saves lives
Maybe I'm wrong, but I was more into batman, knight rider and MacGuyver in my childhood.

Would really love to hear some stories :⁠-⁠)

No I do not and most of my knowledge comes from animated stuff after the 80s. Plus some minimal comic reads but never enough for a full story, except one of other timeline stories I read as a full story. Oh a couple all star ones where he was pretty good. But yeah I am going with stuff that's not original and still before Dean Cain ... Unless I'm mistaken then I'm wrong shrug I'm wrong often. But not wrong enough to be an ICE agent at least.

Mean I read Superman is a dick when it was a website (I do miss scrolling through those comic covers) now curious how much of a dick he was.

I learned a long time ago everything was bullshit. Now I'm watching other people start to understand. 🥲

Well, "Superman" literally translates to Übermensch.
