In the world of DC Comics, superheroes are often depicted as enforcers of justice, using their extraordinary powers to maintain order and protect the innocent. Among them, Superman is celebrated as the moral backbone of the Justice League, not because of his intelligence, strength, or leadership skills, but because of his unshakable idealism and reputation for being incorruptible. He is the symbol of hope, the beacon of righteousness, and the embodiment of what it means to always do what’s right in a morally gray world.
But there’s a catch.
Superman’s idealism seems bound by the laws of the United States. He saves lives, fights crime, and stands for truth and justice, but only within the confines of existing legal and political systems.
But what if this system is flawed? What happens when a dictatorship commits atrocities against its own people, and its laws explicitly forbid outside interference? Then Superman’s hands are tied. He respects the sovereignty of nations, even when their laws enable oppression, violence, and suffering.
This is the equivalent of a mugger telling Superman, “Don’t interfere in my mugging,” or a bank robber saying, “Don’t interfere in my robbing and killing, because I say so.”
If a law is unjust—if it protects the powerful at the expense of the vulnerable—then blindly following it isn’t moral, it’s complicit. Superman’s adherence to the status quo creates a giant loophole, allowing tyrants and criminals to operate with impunity simply because they control the legal framework.
A Blueprint for Real Change
This limitation isn’t just a narrative choice. It’s a failure of imagination. Comic book writers create characters with godlike powers, yet they confine them to the rules of our imperfect world. If Superman—or any hero with his capabilities—truly analyzed global problems, they would recognize the need for bold and systemic change, not only reacting to crises but proactively preventing them.
So what if he didn’t wait for permission to do what’s right? If I had Superman’s power, here’s how I’d use it to create a world where happiness and justice aren’t just ideals, but realities:
- Enforce a Global Ceasefire – No more war, oppression, or abuse. No excuses. I’d demand an immediate and unconditional end to all armed conflicts and violence against human beings, in all forms.
- Remove Dictators and Criminal Kingpins – Immediate and unconditional elimination of all who create suffering: dictators, warlords, drug lords, and corrupt leaders. Their assets would be redistributed to build a better world.
- Abolish Nuclear Weapons – Every nuclear arsenal, dismantled. No exceptions, no negotiations.
- Protect the Entire Planet – Human beings are just part of the equation. We live in an interconnected world, where ecosystems, animals, and the environment must be preserved as fiercely as human lives.
- Dismantle Exploitative Industries – Drug trafficking, arms dealing, human trafficking—any system built on suffering would be shut down permanently.
- Redefine Morality with Clear Consequences – Actions would be categorized by their impact: destructive behaviors (violence, exploitation) would be punished, while positive actions (kindness, creativity, self-improvement) would be rewarded and encouraged.
- Solving humanity’s deepest challenges – Then the focus could shift to ending hunger, reversing environmental damage, and building a sustainable, equitable world.
The goal would be the creation of a utopian society where happiness isn’t a privilege but a fundamental right for everyone.
Utopia Isn’t a Fantasy—It’s a Choice
Critics argue that utopia is impossible because of human nature. But what if an unstoppable force—one with overwhelming power and unshakable moral integrity—decided to make it happen? Utopia wouldn’t just be a dream. It would become inevitable.
Superman’s idealism—bound by laws and borders—isn’t enough. True heroes wouldn’t be stuck in a cycle of reaction or rule-following. Instead, they would demand courage, vision, and a willingness to challenge the status quo.
So let’s ask ourselves: If we had the power to reshape the world, would we settle for the way things are? Or would we demand something better? For me, the choice is clear—ask for more and aim higher.
