Guess who's back, back again

Do you think that every hero in the Marvel Universe is a liberal (except probably Tony Stark)?

No, I wouldn’t think that at all.

zomburai:

Interesting thought experiment, though. Were I to take a crack at some of the MU’s political identities:

Tony Stark: Neoconservative. Free markets and government force (even if he is mostly anti-war, his endorsement of the Superhuman Registration Act can’t be ignored).

Danny Rand: mainline conservative.

Logan/James Howlett: Libertarian.

Peter Parker: I don’t know whether he’s marking all Ds or all Rs, but he shows up to the polls at the very last second and straight-tickets it.

Charles Xavier: American Socialist Party.

Matt Murdock: Liberal, and votes in the primaries for the most socially conscious candidate.

Steve Rogers: He’s canonically an FDR liberal, so that’s a gimme.

Thor: What is this thing you call “representative democracy?”

More:

Luke Cage: Liberal. Like so liberal. You just know that politics is one of the things him and Danny probably bicker over, all the time.

Jessica Jones: Apolitical. I feel like she’d cynically dismiss all politics as bread and circuses.

Carol Danvers: Center-right Obama/Clinton Democrat.

USAgent: Canonically hard right-wing conservative, so that’s a gimme, too. I like to picture him as more an O’Reilly than a Breitbart though.

Natasha Romanov: Having been chewed up and spit out by a totalitarian Communist regime, she’s either a hardcore conservative almost by reflex or thinks the political machine is a pointless joke. I’m guessing the former.

Any others I should take a crack at? Any that I’m just straight-up wrong about?
