Will Tommy and Roberta be able to help Superman accept and embrace his own differences, so he can destroy the Klan and their rabid attacks on diversity? Unluckily, his exposure to a mysterious green stone has weakened him. Luckily, they’re not alone – Superman is always on hand to save the day. While Roberta struggles to fit in and be accepted, her brother Tommy has unwittingly become the target of anti-Chinese hatred, led and fueled by the shadowy Klan of the Fiery Cross. Roberta and Tommy Lee have only just moved from Chinatown to the center of Metropolis, but life is already very different. Inclusion and empowerment are at the heart of the many converging plotlines, from the Superhero’s own confusion about his identity and difference to the overt and covert racism faced by the Chinese, African American, and Jewish characters in the story. Based on the 1946 radio version of Superman, this adaptation could have been written for the present day. ![]()
