This Black Superman Comic Triggered MAGA So Hard, Elon Tried to Ban It — Then It Went Viral

When artist Obi Arisukwu dropped this Black Superman comic strip, MAGA lost their minds. The comic? A five-panel moral mic drop: Superman sees a man falling — then sees the MAGA hat — and re-buttons his shirt. No cape. No save. Just a question: “Would he have saved me?” Elon’s Twitter (X) flagged it for “hateful content.”
The post was visibility-limited — censored. So Obi reposted it. The result? It went double viral. Over 2.2 million views, 86,000+ likes, and a digital firestorm that exposed the real hypocrisy behind "free speech" rhetoric. We sit down with Obi to break down the comic, the backlash, the cultural moment around Superman 2025, and what happens when truth goes mythic. 🎨 Follow Obi and support his work:
