The creators behind the latest Superman comic are reportedly being targeted by angry fans and have received police protection.

In the latest issue of the long-running DC Comics story, Superman – whose cape is now being worn by Clark Kent’s son Jon – comes out as bisexual.

The studio announced the news last month, also releasing some teaser images of the superhero kissing his friend Jay Nakamura.

This new turn for Superman, who runs his affairs very differently than his dad, fighting wildfires caused by climate change, thwarting a school shooting and protesting against the deportation of refugees, is part of a story titled Superman: Son of Kal-El.
