It's heavily based on Trump

To be clear, a lead writer (Eric Kripke) said the show version of the character (as opposed to the comic book)[seen to the right of Superman, in the OP] was supposed to be a metaphor for Donald Trump.

Not to detract from your comment. But, in this moment, my eyes were opened to the flow of history and I could see that the above line would be a source of half-remembered misinformation.
