Dean Cain has once again sparked controversy. How did we end up here? (Picture: Getty Images)
For millions of 90s TV viewers, Dean Cain embodied the ideal man.
With his movie-star looks, Princeton education, and starring role opposite Teri Hatcher in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Cain became one of the decade’s biggest heartthrobs, helping turn the Man of Steel into appointment television for an entire generation.
At its peak, the show attracted more than 15 million viewers per episode and made Cain a household name.
Three decades later, however, the actor’s public image looks very different.
The backlash began when an X user questioned how Supergirl could have pierced ears if her skin was bulletproof. Another user then replied with an image comparing Alcock to Cha-Ka, a character from the 1970s TV series Land of the Lost.
Cain responded: ‘Dang it… I laughed.’

Backlash quickly followed, with many fans pointing out how disappointing it was to see a former Superman actor appearing to join in with a joke at the expense of a 26-year-old actress about to inherit one of DC’s most iconic roles.
Many ritics accused Cain of participating in misogynistic appearance-based mockery and undermining a younger performer, with one writing on Reddit: ‘She is like the most conventionally attractive woman ever. We can’t win,’ while another replied: ‘THIS. RIGHT. HERE. They just hate women. Period.’

And the backlash did not prove to be a learning experience for Cain.
Since Sunday, the MAGA-supporting actor has replied to or reposted at least 30 posts related to the Supergirl controversy, interspersing them with messages attacking Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner and praising President Donald Trump’s appearance at Monday’s NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden.

The incident is only the latest chapter in a long and increasingly divisive transformation.
How did Dean Cain become famous?
Before Hollywood came calling, Cain looked destined for an entirely different career.
Born Dean George Tanaka in 1966, he excelled academically and athletically, playing football at Princeton University before briefly signing with the Buffalo Bills. A knee injury ended his football ambitions and pushed him towards entertainment instead.

After a series of commercials and guest appearances, he landed the role that would define his career in 1993.

As Clark Kent in Lois & Clark, Cain embodied a softer, more romantic Superman, becoming a fixture on bedroom walls and magazine covers throughout the decade.
The role remains his most famous achievement, despite subsequent appearances in projects including Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and later a return to the Superman universe in Supergirl.
He also became a major heart throb and source of tabloid intrigue, including a six-month relationship with fellow ’90s sex symbol Pamela Anderson at the beginning of her Baywatch run.
He also, famously, dated Brooke Shields during his time at Princeton.

In recent years, however, Cain has become almost as well known for his political views as for his acting.

The actor, who has publicly supported Donald Trump, has increasingly used television appearances and social media to weigh in on culture-war issues.
He said in an interview with Variety: ‘I love President Trump. I’ve been friends with him forever. Trump is actually one of the most empathetic, wonderful, generous people you’ll ever meet.’
He also joined the board of the National Rifle Association, a pro-gun lobby widely accused of preventing gun-sense legislation aimed at halting school shootings, and became a regular voice in conservative media circles.
In a video posted to social media, he encouraged others to sign up too, saying the agency was helping to ‘save America’ and support immigration enforcement efforts.
He said: ‘I am a sworn law enforcement officer, as well as being a filmmaker, and I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all Americans, not just talk about it. So, I joined up,’ he said.

‘Since President Trump took office, ICE has arrested hundreds of thousands of criminals, including terrorists, rapists, murderers, paedophiles, MS-13 gang members, drug traffickers…you name it. Very dangerous people who are no longer on the streets.’
He then went on to encourage others to sign up too, pushing how people could ‘earn lots of great benefits and pay’.
As the theme music of Superman played, he told followers: ‘You can defend your homeland for great benefits’. He then cited a $50,000 (£37,000) signing bonus, student loan repayment, enhanced retirement benefits, and special pay.

Dean then added that ICE was ‘helping save America and remove the worst of the worst from America’s streets’.
‘I like that, and I voted for that. They need your help to protect our homeland and our families. Join today if that’s something that’s tickled your fancy…because we need you.’

The move generated widespread criticism online, with many pointing to what they saw as a contradiction between Superman’s long-standing status as an outsider seeking acceptance and Cain’s support for an agency frequently criticised by immigration advocates.
Some critics also highlighted Cain’s own experiences with racism after he was cast as the Man of Steel in the 1990s.
In a previous interview with Variety, the actor recalled being targeted with racist abuse shortly after landing the role.

‘It was 1993 and I remember a fan going, “We wanted Superman, not Sushi Man”,’ Cain said, referencing a comment about his Japanese heritage.
Cain’s biological father was a Japanese-American serviceman, and the actor has previously spoken about navigating prejudice throughout his career. Despite the remark, he insisted he wasn’t offended.
‘For the love of God, he’s a Kryptonian. He could be green. Does it matter,’ he said.
For some former fans, those comments only deepened the irony. As one social media user put it: ‘To make it worse, he’s literally talked about receiving backlash and being given racist nicknames for being a half-Asian Superman actor. And yet here he is endorsing and actively participating in those same systems of bigotry and shaming.’

What did Dean Cain say about new Superman films?

Ironically, some of Cain’s most controversial comments in recent years have centred on the very character that made him famous.
Ahead of the release of James Gunn’s Superman reboot last year, the actor criticised the director’s description of the character as an immigrant story, accusing Hollywood of making the iconic hero ‘woke’.
Speaking to TMZ, Cain asked: ‘How woke is Hollywood going to make this character?’
He continued: ‘How much is Disney going to change their Snow White? Why are they going to change these characters [to] exist for the times?’
The comments came after Gunn described Superman as ‘the story of America’ and ‘an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country’.

While Cain acknowledged the character’s origins, he argued there needed to be limits to the comparison.

‘We know Superman is an immigrant – he’s a freaking alien,’ he said.
‘The “American way” is immigrant friendly, tremendously immigrant friendly. But there are rules.’
He added: ‘There have to be limits, because we can’t have everybody in the United States. We can’t have everybody, society will fail.’
The remarks sparked backlash online, with critics pointing out that Superman has long been interpreted as a metaphor for the immigrant experience, dating back to the character’s creation by the sons of Jewish immigrants in the 1930s.

The remarks prompted debate among comic-book fans, many of whom pointed out that Superman has always been, quite literally, an immigrant from another planet.
Now Cain finds himself embroiled in another DC-related controversy just weeks before Alcock’s debut as Kara Zor-El in the upcoming Supergirl.
Whether it’s supporting ICE, embracing polarising political causes, or laughing along with jokes aimed at younger actors, Cain has spent much of the last decade alienating sections of the audience that once adored him.
And for some former fans, the sight of yesterday’s Superman taking shots at tomorrow’s Supergirl feels like the saddest twist of all.

The 51-year-old was the subject of a media storm late last year after Allen, known for hit songs Not Fair and Smile, detailed Harbour’s alleged infidelity and the breakdown of their marriage in her fifth studio album West End Girl.
Released in October, the US actor has remained silent on the topic until now, claiming that the contents of the record “wasn’t my experience”.
Allen is set to return to Manchester within days, with two shows at the AO Arena on June 19 and 20, after earlier performing a pair of more intimate West End Girl shows at Aviva Studios in March.
Speaking to Variety, he said: “It was weird.

“I do believe that it is the privilege of every artist to use their experience to create art, and so I respect her for doing that.”
“I can’t really say that much more because it’s my private life.

“In spite of the fact that a lot of people don’t allow me a private life — I value it. And I also value the lives of the people that I interact with privately. I just won’t speak about that.”
When pressed about the claims Allen made in the album, he added: “Stories are complex and that’s why I say I respect her creation of art to channel her experience.

“It wasn’t my experience.”
Harbour starred as small town police chief Jim Hopper in all five seasons of the hit sci-fi Netflix series alongside Millie Bobby Brown and Winona Ryder.
He now appears as the tender Floyd Smernitch in the dark comedy DTF St Louis, about a love triangle between three middle-aged adults but one of them ends up dead.
Rioting broke out in Northern Ireland for a second night following Monday’s knife attack in Belfast, with masked protesters lighting fires and hurling bricks at police, who responded by firing water cannons.
The chaos unfolded in Glengormley in Newtownabbey, northwest Belfast, just hours after the family of the attack victim, Stephen Ogilvie, appealed for calm in the wake of the torching of homes and vehicles across the city on Tuesday.
Responding to the latest disorder along Antrim Road, near the Sandyknowes roundabout, the relatives of Mr Ogilvie, who is said to be in stable condition, voiced their “disgust” at the scenes. Earlier yesterday, Hadi Alodid, 30, had appeared at Belfast Magistrates’ Court charged with attempted murder over Monday’s knife attack in which Mr Ogilvie lost an eye.
Despite pleas from Mr Ogilvie’s family and the drafting in of 200 extra police officers to deal with any disorder, videos shared on social media first showed masked gangs attempting to march to a hotel in Glengormley, where they were met with riot police.

Pushed back down Antrim Road, the protesters dressed in black broke up parts of the pavement and the walls of suburban homes to throw objects at the police, who responded with water cannons, soaking those who got close.
As the face-off continued between the police and protesters, some built a bonfire with bins in the middle of the road while spectators watched on in what appeared more a set piece for television than a spontaneous expression of political intent.
Among those taking part, a youth wearing a full face ski mask at one point asked two local women where he could buy a drink. When they replied it was a half-a-mile walk, he said “ugh, I need a lager.”
A street-cleaning vehicle was also set alight in a Department for Infrastructure depot, while rioters were also seen breaking open a metal fence to access the Sandyknowes Wastewater Pumping Station.

Local people said they believed that the motivation for the latest disorder was as much an expression of anger whipped up by social media against immigrants as it was an opportunity to “have a bit of a punch up“.
The violence in Newtownabbey appeared to be the flashpoint in Northern Ireland, where despite gatherings at the Parliament Buildings in the Stormont estate in Belfast and Ulster University in Coleraine, there was little unrest elsewhere in the country.

In Lendrick Street, which saw houses gutted after cars were set alight on Tuesday, there was a heavy police presence. Hours earlier it was the scene of migrants being rescued from homes, but on Wednesday night it was quiet.

Residents refused to be filmed, but a man named Glen, who watched the world media picking over the wreckage of his neighbourhood, said that the violence had “been brewing for a while”.
He said: “There’s no excuse for what happened here. Young people were terrified. Kiddies were in homes that caught fires when the cars were torched.
“They attacked this street because it had more foreigners on it than others around here. But they’re good people. One of them is a pastor who comes around with hampers of food,” he said.

The rioting began late on Tuesday as Alodid, who arrived in the UK in 2023, was charged with attempted murder in connection with the stabbing incident in the city.
The family of Mr Ogilvie had urged people not to engage in violent protest after the night of bedlam on Tuesday.

After Wednesday’s unrest, they said: “We have been left feeling disgusted by the scenes that unfolded across Northern Ireland in the wake of what happened. We want to make it absolutely clear that to do this in response is not supported by our family, and peaceful protest is only ever the way forward.

“We have many migrants who make a deeply valuable contribution to our country, including from within our healthcare system and hospitality sector, and we depend on them to make our country work. We do not want this terrible tragedy to be used to divide people or fuel hostility – do not do this in the name of our loved one, as we do not share the same values.”
Along with additional police officers on the streets in the region on Wednesday, public transport was suspended and some schools closed early.
Sir Keir Starmer vowed to “crack down on anyone who is fuelling this division”. The prime minister said the rioting in Belfast was “shocking and completely unacceptable”.
“It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it,” he said. “Those responsible will feel the full force of the law.”

On Wednesday, it emerged the the UK returned one asylum seeker to Ireland under a post-Brexit deal signed in 2020.
The government said it was now intensifying immigration enforcement to track down and remove illegal immigrants from Northern Ireland.
Alodid entered Northern Ireland across the Irish border in February 2023 having flown to Dublin from Paris. He claimed asylum upon arrival and in September 2023 was granted leave to remain in the UK until 2028.

A panel determined that colleagues would find the nurse’s conduct ‘deplorable’
16:00, 10 Jun 2026Updated 16:34, 10 Jun 2026
A nurse who was found to have had an “improper” relationship with a 16-year-old and encouraged them to flee from a care home has been ordered to be struck off the nursing register. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) issued the striking off order for Cheryl Feltner after a panel upheld a number of charges against her.
The NMC found that Ms Feltner, who was employed at West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, entered a personal relationship with ‘Person A’ who was aged 16 at the relevant time. The NMC received a referral concerning Ms Feltner in March 2024 from West Mercia Police.
It was informed that the police responded to a missing person report regarding ‘Person A’ who had absconded from Telford Care Home, a setting for young people. When ‘Person A’ was located by the police, they disclosed that they had been in an “improper relationship” with Ms Feltner and that they had fled to go and visit her, according to a recently published report.

The substantive meeting, which was held between Monday, June 1, and Friday, June 5, 2026, proved that Ms Feltner had invited ‘Person A’ to her home and gave them money. In her local statement, Ms Feltner accepted giving money to ‘Person A’. However, she denied that it was for train fare and stated it was for ‘Person A’ to buy clothing.
The police reported that ‘Person A’ had “serious mental health issues”, and that this had been triggered by the mention of the “inappropriate relationship”. It is alleged that Ms Feltner had been in daily communication with ‘Person A’ via phone calls and text messages without clinical justification after first meeting the victim during their time as an inpatient at the West Suffolk Hospital.
A panel heard evidence that messages were sent from a person named ‘Chelsea’ to ‘Person A’. The victim told a witness that ‘Chelsea’ was a former nurse who looked after them and had told them to save her contact number under a fake name.
The panel heard that a telephone number belonging to ‘Chelsea’ was the same telephone number as registered on Ms Feltner’s personnel file at the Trust. Based on the evidence given, the panel determined that it was more likely than not that Ms Feltner’s actions did encourage ‘Person A’ to abscond from the care home.

In a phone call to ‘Person A’, Ms Feltner was alleged to have said: “You’ve f***** everything up. You could have lived with me. I could have given you a good life. We could have been together. You’re pushing me over the edge.”
Ms Feltner was suspended by the Trust and the matter was investigated by the Trust. A spokesperson for the Trust said: “The Trust can confirm Ms Feltner was a member of staff employed by the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust at the time of the incident.
“The Trust has robust processes which keep patients and visitors safe when receiving care by our teams. The safeguarding of current and past patients is taken extremely seriously and, once the incident was brought to its attention, the Trust acted quickly and decisively.
“The Trust has worked closely with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and West Mercia Police throughout this investigation, and will continue to do so.”
Advertisement
The panel considered that Ms Feltner had accepted, “broadly, some wrongdoing”. However, the panel determined that Ms Feltner had sought to deflect blame onto others and minimise her own culpability for her actions.
As a result, Ms Feltner has been struck off the nursing register. The panel imposed an interim suspension order for a period of 18 months due to the fact that the striking-off order cannot take effect until the end of the 28-day appeal period.
Noah was “excited” to meet up with his friends after restrictions and was using lockdown as a chance to learn coding as it could be useful for a future job, the court heard

Friends and teachers of schoolboy Noah Donohoe cannot explain his behaviour before his death, an inquest has heard.
Brenda Campbell KC, representing Noah’s mother Fiona Donohoe, took retired PSNI Detective Constable Curran, who worked on Noah’s missing persons case, through her notebook detailing police conversations with his friends and teachers.

It included recollections of Noah’s attitude before he went missing in north Belfast almost six years ago.
Dc Curran told jurors at Belfast Coroner’s Court : “They give a description of Noah as a very sociable, articulate and intelligent child. He seemed to know everybody in school and was well-liked.”
The 14-year-old had been planning to meet school friends at Cavehill in Belfast after setting out on his bike on Sunday June 21 2020.
He was captured on CCTV cycling through the city centre and then towards the north of the city.

In the final clip, the last footage of Noah before he disappeared, he is seen riding the bike naked.
His naked body was found in an underground water tunnel on June 27, six days after he left home.
A post-mortem examination found the likely cause of death was drowning.
Dc Curran, who was trying to build a picture of Noah and get information to feed into the investigation through the conversations, told the court: “Nobody I had spoken to had given any explanation as to why he would have been naked in Northwood Road.”

She said the people she spoke to felt “this is entirely out of character”.
Two of Noah’s friends described him as “the smartest kid” and “everyone liked him”.
He was “inquisitive”, carried a notebook, “he knew everything” and wrote it down to remember it, the inquest heard.
The court heard that friends did not witness him being called names, and that he was never nasty and was always kind.

Noah was “excited” to meet up with his friends after restrictions and was using lockdown as a chance to learn coding as it could be useful for a future job, the court heard.
He was obsessed with reading and titles such as 12 Rules For Life, by the author Jordan Peterson, and George Orwell’s 1984 were on his reading list.
He was very close to his mother, involved in rugby, music, football and the Duke of Edinburgh scheme.
His cello teacher Andrew Nesbitt said he was “always respectful”, upbeat and generally positive and reserved.

The coroner Mr Justice Rooney adjourned Wednesday’s hearing early to allow the jury to travel home as there were concerns about transport amid the unrest following the Belfast stabbing attack.
“It is unfortunate what happened to the referee from Somalia,” Infantino said. “But again, we don’t control everything.

“We try, we’ll discuss, we’ll speak, we’ll see. Maybe sometimes it’s good as well to just, you know, chill, relax.”
Those words will have been of little comfort to Artan, who touched down back in the Somali capital of Mogadishu on Wednesday after seeing his World Cup dream die.
There were no words of support for the official, no regrets expressed. It was just “unfortunate”.
When questioned about other visa issues, which have affected fans and team delegates too, Infantino deflected attention to the 2035 Women’s World Cup – which is almost certain to be awarded to the United Kingdom.

“Would you find it normal that Fifa would dictate to the British government who to let in the country and who not to let in the country?” Infantino asked.
When England hosted the World Cup in 1966, a strikingly similar situation happened.
The UK government feared the presence of communist North Korea could cause diplomatic shockwaves and it considered denying entry.
Indonesia, due to be hosts of the 2023 U-20 World Cup, were stripped of hosting rights after saying Israel would not be permitted entry.
Yet when the United States makes similar decisions which affect competing World Cup nations, such as Iran, Fifa says it is powerless.
“Unfortunately, our world is, you know, a very aggressive world, and security goes above everything,” Infantino said. “You need to respect the decisions which are taken, and when I say to chill, I don’t mean to chill and do nothing.
“We need to respect that we are not the kings of the world who can rule over governments and police forces.

The family of Stephen Ogilvie, victim of the horrific knife attack in Belfast on Monday, have given a major update on his condition as protests continue to cause chaos in the city.
They added: “It is now forcing us to clarify that our loved one is in fact in a stable condition, and we are solely focused on his recovery at this time,” they said in a statement distributed by the PSNI.
The family added: “We are also appealing to the media and the public to please give us some space. We need privacy to focus on our family right now, without cameras or people speculating about what happened via social media.”
They urged the violence to stop, saying they had been left “feeling disgusted” by the recent disorder.

Stephen Ogilvie, 44, lost an eye and suffered other serious injuries following the incident on Kinnaird Avenue on June 8.
Hadi Alodid, 30, of Duncairn Avenue in Belfast, appeared before the city’s magistrates’ court on Wednesday, charged with the attempted murder of Stephen Ogilvie, threatening to kill an NHS radiographer and possession of a knife.
UUP leader Jon Burrows spoke to the father of Stephen Ogilvie on Wednesday morning, following the scenes of violence and disorder across Belfast and other towns in NI on Tuesday night.
Mr Burrows said the victim’s father had a direct appeal he wanted him to pass on. As well as providing a condition update from the time Burrows said: “The victim’s father has also asked me to pass on a direct appeal to those spreading disinformation online: please stop. This has shockingly included false posts on social media at various times that his son has died.
“This is causing immense additional distress to a family already going through an unimaginable ordeal. I echo that appeal wholeheartedly and urge everyone to act with decency and respect for this family.”
In an earlier statement issued through Independent Councillor Stafford Ward, the family of Stephen Ogilvie said that they “want to make it clear that overnight unrest is not welcome”.
“We are aware of the tensions and talk of protests following this incident. We want to make it absolutely clear that overnight unrest is not welcome, and peaceful protest is the only way forward.

On Wednesday, Trump told reporters, in reference to Iran: “We’re going to be attacking them, attacking them very hard.”
The latest strikes come after US military began targeted sites inside Iran in response to the downing of a military helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz earlier in the week.
Iran responded by launching missiles against bases that host US forces in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
