Over the weekend, fans of all things nerd descended on Orlando for Megacon.
One of the events was a panel on the many faces of Superman, and it featured several actors who have portrayed the caped hero over the years.
This writer is a little jealous she couldn’t be there because how awesome would it have been to see six guys who played Superman? Pretty darn awesome.
But if you’re from the DCU Updates X account, you clearly believed there were only five Superman actors in attendance.

They selectively cropped this picture to omit Dean Cain, who portrayed Superman on television’s ‘Lois & Clark’ in the 1990s
We can all guess why.
They even credited Screen Rant with the original image, which includes Cain:

Fans didn’t waste any time dragging the DCU Updates account for this blatant omission.
You cut out Dean Cain, but kept the drunk driver. Your communism is showing.

Sure is.
You cut @RealDeanCain out of the picture?
For real?
This isnt going to work out well for you.

It is not working out well for them, at all.

You’re just a bunch of pathetic children.

That, too. Childish to the core.
Why did yall crop out Dean? https://t.co/sW9q8RXZPS pic.twitter.com/avzOJinNWQ

Undoubtedly, it’s because Cain is a vocal conservative.
DCU Updates would do well to understand the days of blacklisting conservatives is over.
How can anyone trust you for DCU updates when you have proven to be unreliable, petty and biased by cropping out @RealDeanCain https://t.co/M036afrVBe pic.twitter.com/4LGNxL9bwV

We cannot trust them.
Your stupidity is showing by cropping out Dean Cain. He was the Superman I and many others were first introduced to. Don’t disrespect one of the greatest. https://t.co/XujDR09ubz pic.twitter.com/yV7i7OdJB6

He was a solid Superman.

They did, but they were corrected by basically everyone on X.
And yeah, they’re wankers.
