Narrator:
But not everyone loved the Man of Steel. In fact, one outspoken psychiatrist, Dr. Fredric Wertham considered Superman un-American. In his 1954 book, Seduction of the Innocent, Wertham waged an incendiary war on comic books and called the Man of Steel a fascist. Wertham was a star witness at the Senate investigation into popular media and its alleged responsibility for juvenile delinquency which was on the rise across America. Wertham's message, echoed by other witnesses, sent shock waves through the anxious comic-book industry and threatened its very existence. Fortunately, Wertham's attack on Superman bounced off the Man of Steel like so many bullets.
