That's a comic battle I'd love to witness.

15. I read an alternate-universe Superman story in which the SCOTUS decides that...
...his ship acted as an artificial uterus, hence its opening in Kansas could be interpreted as "birth" and he could run.

It was an annual, came out in 1991.

10. +1 for for staying within the Marvel and/or DC universe.
-1 for being a obscure comic geek. (even though I knew what you were talking about, so what does that make me?)

Dr. Manhattan



I want a president that can turn guns into steam, the bullets into mercury, and poisonous oil into god-damned snowflakes.

41. Jesus H Christ would be a good president.
The one in the Bible, not that two-dimensional moron conservatives have created.

Think of it--we could fire the Secret Service since you can't kill him, Air Force One since he walks everywhere--even across the oceans--and the whole White House kitchen since he can make his own wine and bread and fishes.

We wouldn't need national health care, since he could just heal everyone himself. No prisons, because he just forgives everyone anyway. And best of all, no military, since he just makes his apostles put up their swords when they draw them. And he could have saved New Orleans by just stopping Katrina the way he stopped storms in the Bible. We could spend all that money on cleaning up the environment.

Naturally he would have a tough time winning in the Bible Belt, and fundamentalists would never vote for him.

42. Well, technically you can kill President Jesus
They would just have to invoke the 25th amendment for three days, so make sure the VP isn't Lieberman or someone like that.

43. oo, yeah, good point. But it wasn't really three days, and he mostly dies over holidays
so most of the government is shut down anyway.

I think John the Baptist could be his VP. He runs around in the wilderness eating locusts and saying wild things and basically scaring folk. Kind of like Joe Biden.

That's right. BROCK. FUCKING. SAMSON.

Okay, technically not a super-hero.

OTOH, I would DEFINITELY support Storm as Secretary of the Interior...we need someone who can deal with weather patterns to handle hurricanes, tornadoes, oil geysers and Sarah Palin's hot air eruptions.

44. No, he was not...
He was born on another world, and summoned forth by some Nazis who took over a church in Scotland.

But you know President Hellboy wouldn't be the first executive-branch leader who was born on another planet. IIRC Dead-Eye Dick Cthulhu, Gee Dubya's vice president, was born in a different solar system. I'm sorry, I haven't read H.P. Lovecraft's The Cult of Dick Cheney so I'm not exactly sure where he was born, but I'm still waiting for the birth certificate.
