From left to right:
- Black Panther - "Killmonger" because he's the actual hero in that movie. Raids imperialist armories and redistributes weapons to guerilla groups. Maoist.
- Doctor Posadist - Space communist. Has no gender. Fights with nukes. Forces enemies to watch "Seaspiracy" before killing them. Trotskyist.
- Iron Soviet - Cybernetically immortal Lyudmila Pavlichenko. Wears functional armor because a giant robot suit doesn't need tits. Has somehow read 7 volumes of Capital. Marxist-Leninist.
- AnPrim Deadpool - Still uses guns, doesn't see what the problem is. Pen pals with Ted Kaczynski. AnPrim.
- The Incredible SucDem - Technically a member of the team, but just shows up and never does anything. Loves to tell the rest of the team how they could "do better". SocDem / DemSoc depending on how many New Yorker articles he's read this week.
- Captain AntiFa - Steve Rogers if he took the boot out of his mouth. Burns flags for fun. AnCom.
In case you can't tell, work today was... really boring.
:agony:
Realized after making this:
-
There are pretty much no actually leftist superheroes.
-
Most women in capeshit are objectified.
-
I could have added Scarlet Witch, but she's already red and I'd have nothing to photoshop.
In the boys comic I think basically the only good superhero is a soviet superhero named Love Sausage, don't know about the show though
I’m not sure what you mean, but Deadpool would definitely be an AnPrim! 🧐

It's a shame because they're fun when they're not making cops and imperialism seem cool.
Maybe you can do a hero that is summoned by mass action, instead of being just a guy with powers. Imagine Captain Planet but instead of only five teens you need at least a city-sized general strike.
The problem is that they're still superhumans that promote the idea of genetically abnormal heroes. It's extreme individualism and the idea of abnormal genetic superiority that puts an emphasis on hierarchy and extols the idea that people with such power are virtuous and heroic.
Then make the emphasis on them being worth praise because their virtuous instead of the power itself being heroic. I don't see it as being any different than elite soldiers existing within communist states,
I really want socialist superheroes! It's such a fun genre and also effective propaganda.
:soviet-huff:
The comics are so much better than the animated movie in regards to that
The comics had Stalin getting poisoned by his illegitimate son who was jealous that Superman was going to end up as the Soviet Premier
They don't make him out to be evil or cruel, just that he really liked Superman and thought that he would be the best leader
Which seems like a good call. The Zack Snyder whole thing against Superman seems weird to me. The dude can do almost everything and genuinely wants to help out, put him to work. Shit would be fixed in like a week
The Incredible SucDem also really loves the idea of bombing Serbia. Everyone else on the team is pretty creeped out by it.
you can also post a pic of the liberators and just make up lore about them being leftists and/or anti-imperialists
They had support, at least tacitly, from the governments of China, France, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Syria
amogus.
I just checked and that whole story was written in 2006, so they were clearly still salty about France not going into Iraq lol
See, this is much better than the Chinese superhero team from DC comics which was just lots of stereotypes
Yeah, there are very few comics where they handle international stuff with any tact
Let alone it being very good
It's for dramaturgy. You need a guy who betrays the team in the 2nd act.
Me too! You wouldn’t even need a supervillain, billionaires are evil enough already. :soviet-huff:
I’d probably watch this. Also, this is a great shop.
:fidel-salute-big:
See, this would make me actually enjoy capeshit. 10/10, would read Iron Soviet's comics.
