The film lacks LGBTQ+ characters or explorations of non-heteronormative identities. The story focuses exclusively on the platonic and competitive relationship between the two male leads.

The narrative is heavily masculine-centric, focusing on male protagonists and patriarchal lineages of heroism. Female agency is largely absent from the primary character arcs.

Meaningful representation is found in Jonathan Kent, who is depicted as biracial. This adds a nuanced layer of identity to the superhuman context of the film.

The story centers on the preservation of traditional heroic institutions and legacies. It frames generational tension through the lens of duty rather than critiquing established social structures.

There is no visible or invisible representation of disability, neurodivergence, or chronic illness within the main cast or plot.
