I’ve been thinking about politics and candidates lately, and decided to just have fun with how Marvel characters would campaign. As you will read, I’ve been bored at work.
For the Republican ticket:
Frank “The Punisher” Castle
Campaign slogan: Hard on crime. Harder on criminals.
Stance on the war: We’re already over there, might as well clean things up. As bad as it it, it’ll look worse to them if we pull out. We’ll look weak…like we’re easy pickings.
Pros: He can be his own Secret Service. His experience in ‘Nam.
Cons: Slightly homicidal. More than a little loco.
Running mate: Nick Fury.
Democrat ticket:
Professor Charles Xavier.
Campaign slogan: We can make a difference working together.
Stance on domestic problems, such as gay marriage: “We are all basically the same inside, no matter what gender, race or ‘orientation.’ I think, on some level, people realize that we all have our parts to play in
society–and that scares some individuals, challenges preconceived notions about life and the nature of it.”
Pros: Intelligent, influential, charismatic.
Cons: Might mind control Congress. (Hmmm on second thought…)
Running mate: Jean Grey (purely for the “chick” vote.)
