Superman is the ultimate immigrant story. He arrived in the United States without documentation as a literal illegal alien, was raised in secret while hiding his citizenship status, and went on to become the standard bearer for “truth, justice, and the American way”.
But 1990s Lois & Clark star Dean Cain must have missed that memo when he was playing Superman, as he’s now firmly signed on the dotted line with real-life Legion of Doom, ICE. Cain recently answered Kristi Noem’s desperate call for people to join ICE, and the 59-year-old was last seen undergoing some embarrassing intensive “training” in Georgia.
But it seems even this was too much for Cain, who seems to be less “Man of Steel” and more “Man of Kleenex”. He recently posted a picture of himself looking sheepish with his arm in a makeshift sling, saying he’d suffered a “small mishap”:

Responses came quickly as people wondered just what this small mishap might have been. Gavin Newsom’s press office even got in a quick jab, saying Cain may be discovering snatching innocents is tough work!

Others said he needs to “put some ICE on it” (low hanging fruit but I’ll allow it), that this “couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person”, and derisively calling him “cosplay boy”.
But others really went for the jugular, wondering, “Did it happen when your fat *** was in the Gestapo?” and:
The small child won, apparently! 😆

Maybe he got exposed to black Kryptonite?
Maybe these aren’t the most intellectual or high-minded insults around, but if you willingly sign up to ICE you deserve every bit of mockery and social isolation you get. Some day there will be a reckoning, and those who put on that ICE uniform are suddenly going to be keeping very quiet about what they did in 2025…
As for Cain? Well, it’s unlikely to damage his glittering career of appearing in blockbusters like OBAMAGATE: The Movie, R.A.D.A.R.: The Adventures of the Bionic Dog and Andy the Talking Hedgehog.
How’s life down in the straight-to-video bargain bin, Dean? Judging by the fact he’s got the free time to sign up to a brutal extrajudicial goon squad designed to terrorize desperate and vulnerable people, I’m guessing even that’s not going swimmingly.
