Trunks back in ACTION!

Superman also met JFK back in the day.

Yup. After that was unfortunately released right after his assassination, presidents were generally shown in shadows for a while.

Anyway, y'think maybe this is a sly way of introducing Icon?

Nah: for 1 thing Icon was just shown in flashback in Static Shock #8 while Virgil's talking about his time in Dakota.

I don't know in the early days if there was a president in a comic either he didn't resemble any current president (generic white dude) or he was bathed in shadow.


It might have started with Dubya cause i can't recall seeing Clinton in any superhero comics.

I remember Bill and Hillary in an issue of Alan Moore's run on Supreme. Korgo the space bully showed up, knocked out Bill and made Hillary his 1st Lady.

Didn't Cyborg Superman meet Clinton during Reign of the Supermen?

If that's a shadow, it's a very deliberately placed shadow.
