Hitler and Stalin weren't the only heads of state Superman has had notable relations with. The Man of Steel was in a secret identity SNAFU, having to appear on television with his alter ego Clark Kent, as well as many of his super-heroic pals. Who then could the Strange Visitor from Another Planet turn to for aid in impersonating Clark Kent? None other than John Fitzgerald Kennedy his own self, in a story published a month after his assassination! In a private room, Jack asked if he could remove his Kent disguise, while Superman complimented his perfect performance. "Superman-- I told you to call on me if ever you needed help-- and I'm glad you did! And I'll guard your secret identity as I guard the secrets of the nation!"
Superman concluded, "I realize that, sir! I knew I wasn't risking my secret identity with you! After all, if I can't trust the President of the United States, who can I trust?" The whole nation would soon ask themselves that question, whether because of Johnson's commitment to Vietnam or Dick Nixon's wiretapping scandal...
How'd he go from revealing his secret identity to JFK to this?
