Superman bc he was created originally to fight Nazis.
I am not too deep into the lore of Superman, but is it possible that you mean Captain America? Or is there something about Superman and nazis?
Superman was created in 1938, so it's not surprising that he'd end up fighting Nazis within a few issues
As I recall it, the original Superman concept was a kind of inversion of the Nazi Ubermensch ideal. Pretty sure that's where the name came from.
In 1938, when Hitler's (Nazi) racism was rising in Europe, two Jewish guys created Superman in response. His Krypton name is Hebrew.

He at least took out the KKK. And helped do that irl
Pretty nazi character tho
The word you are looking for is didactic. He was very didactic, indeed. But didn't kill or jail people or deny human rights bc of color or religion.
He was pretty nazi, in the Ubermensch sense of the word. A godlike, infallible upstanding moral (white) American, spreading peace through violence, as a blatant propaganda tool to sell people on the supremacy of the American dream and American exceptionalism.
Never heard that definition put so well. Maybe you should add it to the urban dictionary.
Dictionaries should stay apolitical, even the urban ones.
