actually no

since superman has super skin he wouldn't need the extra melanin since the point of melanin is to protect what is beneath your skin from dangerous UV

The pigment is produced in a specialized group of cells known as melanocytes. ... Melanin is an effective absorber of light; the pigment is able to dissipate over 99.9% of absorbed UV radiation. Because of this property, melanin is thought to protect skin cells from UVB radiation damage, reducing the risk of cancer.


While your argument is that melanin absorbs the sun better you overlook that the UVB radiation damage is what powers superman

so he actually should be super pale like a vampire

Black Superman already exists in a different Earth in the multiverse.

Thanks for trying, Mr random tweeter guy, though.

I vaguely remember something about Kryptonians and Humans actually being the same but Kryptonians advanced technologically faster and used tech to modify their own evolution to be the super powered aliens they are today, but were originally equivalent with humans.
