The Association of Liberal Heroes

Had the idea for this a few years ago when, on another website, a guy commented that he'd like to see Green Arrow appear on Smallville, but he was afraid that they would make GA a Neo-Con. Which amazed me since Green Arrow started off as a Conservative before becoming a Liberal.

Of course the more I thought about it the more I realized that super-heroes were far more likely to be Conservatives than Liberals because most super-heroes put on costumes & become vigilantes because the law has been tampered with allowing criminals to get away with crimes.

Who usually changes laws to aid criminals? Liberals.

So this cartoon came to mind.

Which is not to say you couldn't have a good character who is a Liberal superhero, but it didn't serve my joke. ;-)
