The creators of Superman: Son of Kal-El, in which the new Superman comes out as bisexual, have reportedly been given police protection after receiving death threats.

Last month, DC Comics revealed that Jon Kent, the Superman of Earth and son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane, is bisexual. The younger Kent is a different kind of Superman to his father – he combats climate change, protests against the deportation of refugees and is in a relationship with a man.
