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:
They all look kinda fashy. I'm not really sure you can "fix" superheroes.
:yea:
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,
