Have enough money to solve almost any social issue, but put on a weird black latex suit and beat up the mentally unstable at night instead. (feddit.de)

Jesus Christ

Appealing to Christ will not magically make your super-creep "heroes" less problematic.

Do you think Stan Lee made all his characters as explicit references to “institutionalized and concentrated power in the real world”?

Yep. I have to give Stan Lee credit that, at least, with some (not all) of his characters he tried to circumvent the fundamental nature of the super-creep genre - such as with Peter Parker, for instance - but that doesn't change the rigidly Ayn Randian nature of the universe this genre exists within.

You seem like you’ve never read a comic in your life

I was reading this stuff (and discovering far better stuff) long before the Berlin Wall fell, Clyde - sure you want to go down this route?

mission to proselytize those ridiculous opinions.

It doesn't matter how reactionary you get about this - the subtext of the super-creep genre is what it is and can never be anything else.

They are still fictional characters that justifies institutionalized and concentrated power - no matter what the good but naive intentions of their creators might be - that is what they always have been and always will be.
