Quote - It has absolutely nothing to do with anti-Americanism but simply people thinking about the background of the character in a more sophisticated way.

I agree, this isn't about national pride or cultural primacy or anything so silly.  This is about the characters as characters and superheroes as superheroes, versus either as marketable properties.  To more broadly market the superhero genre, the owners of superhero properties have been (perhaps necessarily) removing more and more of what defines the superhero genre and makes it unique from other action-adventure genres.  Eventually it loses its unique character as a genre and just becomes mud.  This won't bother those who came to appreciate "superheroes" from one of the watered-down interpretations of the idea, but it bothers many who have a deeper appreciation for what superheroes are and/or have been.  The defintions are being changed, the future of the superhero as a concept and a creative form are being changed.  This is both fascinating, in a cultural sense, and troubling, from the perspective of a longstanding superhero fan.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
