Professor X Doc Magnus
The Wasp Martian Manhunter
Ant Man Plastic Man
My contention is that, overall, there are definite political leanings to the overall universes presented by Marvel and DC, the Big Two of superhero mythology.
Compare the outward behavior of the two groups by the individuals mentioned above, for example. One could argue that in the Marvel universe Tony Stark or Captain America might be considered "conservatives." But the entire Marvel universe is integrated with mutants, races, creeds, economic groups in places called New York and Los Angeles. This is the universe Iron Man and Cap live in and thrive in, this is what they're used to. A gritty mixdown.
Not many in the DC universe could be mistaken for flaming liberals. The DC universe consists of idealized and iconicized locales such as Metropolis, Gotham City and the JLA Watchtower on the Moon. Things don't change as much in the DC universe even after repeated crisis' that wipe the slates clean and restart whole parallel dimensions.
Therefore, I think we can start assuming these slogans would be accurate and useable in comics from here 'til the election:
CAPED CRUSADERS 4 McCAIN
OBAMA / STARK in '08
SUPERMAN joins McCAIN'S Never-Ending Battle
Peter Parker Picked A President: BARACK!
McCAIN Wears WONDER WOMAN'S Lasso Of Truth!
HULK LIKE OBAMA!
The Atom Says McCain Will Shrink Our Deficit!
OBAMA has a VISION
The King Of Atlantis Endorses McCain
Nick Fury Sez: "Obama's No Goldbrick."
.....help me out here, true believers...!
