And I’m taking Poison Ivy off the table. Too easy. I think I’d go with The Penguin, mostly cause that just seems like normal crimes.

    Dr Doom, easy

    He’s an important bulwark against US imperialism and his only real character flaw is not being able to get over the girl he liked in college

    Most of my job would be trying to get him to move on and get over Sue Storm. He’s the leader of a whole country, dude may not get women the way Fidel did but there’s gotta be someone for him

        I’ve posted about this a bit ago, but of x men mutants were an irl thing I’d be donating to fund more sentinels. Any rando could just have the power to destroy worlds, fuck that

          But this is the same universe where you can get hit with gamma radiation and punch the planet in half. But that doesn’t get the same level of dehumanization as mutants who time and time again have their attempts to live away from humanity ruined, sometimes even by sentinels.

                I don’t really follow comics and have barely watched a marvel movie that isn’t guardians. I’m silver age pilled. And yeah. I’d be pro registration, but I don’t know the details of ehat thst implies. Also as an in universe guy how aware am I of all the weird outer space sruffnim the Marvel universe or do they even exist on this thought experiment? Cause if there’s thanoses and galactusi out there, I will fully submit to my new mutant Goss because clearly there is power far beyond my comprehension and I guess these weirdos are the nest shot we have, but I’d consider thst a really really bleak prospect. With the outer space stuff I’d just be a Lovecraft protagonist but less racist. If we’re talking just on earth superpower people being out there doing stuff, yeah, I’d prefer they be responsible to some sort of authority.

                  That’s fair. You have a pretty decent grasp of the storyline.

                  Then again, it’s hard saying what would be a realistic societal reaction and what wouldn’t be. Like how batman only beats up bad guys who deserve it 100% of the time and the cops in the setting are either overwhelmed and well-meaning or just flat out corrupt.

                  And yeah, either way, being a normie in a comics setting is a terrible proposition. One reality warper or time traveler and you rethink your entire place in the universe.

      I don’t know much about the guy and don’t really know his politics, I kinda assumed he was opposed to us imperialism in the same way nazi Germany was. I like that you’ve chosen the job of getting him laid tho. If I wasn’t speaking strictly comics, I’d join up with The Mighty Monarch so fast. I’m a sucker for anyone taking great means for petty comeuppances. To quote the man himself "i wanted to kick his ass! I wanted to builda machine to kickhis ass! I wanted to build an empire to house the machine that would kick his ass! like 21, I can get behind that and would love to help someone with such a project.
