Oh, that's the tip if the iceberg. There's one comic where he smashes up the city's slums because he finds out the government will replace them with nicer, rent-subsidized apartments. There's another where he traps a mine owner and all of his rich friends in a cave-in because of unsafe working conditions. Then there was the time he decided to take on traffic safety by smashing cars until the mayor promised to start enforcing traffic violations. Old-school Superman was one of those violent, radical-leftists the conservatives are so scared of.
