Election: Charles Xavier, Tony Stark, Amanda Waller & Nick Fury
Tony Stark is a douche
Charles Xavier could use his powers to mess with other countries
Don't know who Amanda Waller is
So Nick Fury for President!
I think of the four Fury would be the best President since he is incredibly savy to both foreign and domestic affairs, he understands that we live in a transnational world, he has both experience and understanding of politics and warfare and he is capable of making decisions while looking at the big picture. I think that either Stark or Waller would be the most likely to win since they both have the know how to get elected, access to resources, and are willing to break the rules if they believe they are doing it for the right reason. There are times when its right to break the rules, but with Stark and Waller it is often the case that it is their ego that is guiding the decision rather that what actually is. Xavier while being well intended is overly idealistic. While he and Fury both have a transnational view of the world, practical real world approaches have never been Xavier's strong suite as Magneto has often pointed out. I could also see pundits, tea baggers, and political opponants using anti mutant hostilities in the minds of the public as well as Xavier's connection to Magneto to paint him as being some evil mutant radical or even a terrorist.
@Wise Son:
Who else do you think would run?
@JediXMan said:Odd as it sounds, I would trust them more than the others. I would not like a president who can read my mind and control my thoughts, and Tony lost my trust with Civil War.Fury or Waller.What do you think gives these two the edge in the election?
Think the Wall would win, but by playing dirty. Leaking the possibility the Xavier is manipulating his audience, that Stark is still on the bottle and that Nick Fury is either a robot or something else due to his lifespan.
Also, none of the guys ever said anything like this:
I'd cast my vote for Xavier or Fury. And love the above post lol....Amanda sounds like a serious beezy.
Yeah, that could be her campaign slogan LOL. I could see Stark playing dirty as well. If it came down between Stark and Waller it would be a very interesting political battle to watch.Think the Wall would win, but by playing dirty. Leaking the possibility the Xavier is manipulating his audience, that Stark is still on the bottle and that Nick Fury is either a robot or something else due to his lifespan.
Also, none of the guys ever said anything like this:
A mutant President? I don't think America is ready for that... xP
Tony's alcoholic past could easily be used by the other candidates to sway his voters.
The fact that America has only had one black President and never had a female President tells me the odds are stacked against Waller.
So, Fury it is. I think the fact that he's a badass with an eyepatch would be enough to win him the whole election, really.
I'd vote for Tony just for the annual Presidential Address or Press Conferences lol. The winner would probably be Waller or Fury though Xavier is the best candidate.
Fury wins, although Xavier could rig an election and force everyone to vote for him using his telepathic powers.

Well said!

No one trusts a man with an eyepatch.
But he's so good looking...
From this four I would vote for Fury, I don't care how much people think he screwed up, from all the directors of SHIELD so far he was the one who handled things the best. I wouldn't vote for Amanda just because I don't think she would be a better leader than Fury, neither is she more diplomatic.

I think Fury would be the nation's best bet for stability and growth for all the reasons you've already stated. As for others who might run I'd say Maria Hill, Norman Osborn (Pre-Fall), Sebastian Shaw or even Reed Richards but that's a "stretch".
@Wise Son: Who else do you think would run?
None. I would vote for Ron Paul even if there was not an option.
If i had to choose however (my life depended in choosing the candidates that the OP chose for me...), Nick would be my choice.
SHUTTUP.@iLLituracy: No it's not lol. But I also think kadeem summed it up pretty well. He knows how to war, but he knows how to avoid it as well.

The issue is there where many opportunistic people such as Tony Stark who took advantage of political opportunities and situations which is why Fury was labeled as a so called "AWOL" agent. It had more to do with politics than it did with rather or not he did his job well.

@Wise Son: Who else do you think would run?
Thanks bro. Maria Hill is an interesting character, but in some ways she is just a watered down version of Waller. Norman Osborn could really shake things up if he threw his hat in the arena, and it would be interesting to see him try to put a positive spin on his past as the Green Goblin, and he would probably use an "America is about new beginnings" rhetoric to promote his campaign. Shaw is cunning, wealthy and very well connected. He doesn't hesistate to take advantage of any opportunity so he will probably do very well in politics. He even has telepaths that he could use to sway public opinion. He also was one of the main investors of the development of Sentinel technology, so if anyone could be the 1st mutant president it would probably be him. You are right about Reed's becoming President being a stretch, but I think he would be a perfect running mate.

@TheMightyAvenger said:Who's said that's a bad thing? Waller tends to step over the line more often than not. She's a political bulldog. She uses her pull to get her way. Maria does the same but she wouldn't go to the extents that Waller would. In Civil War she was a jerk but she did what was best for the country. My thoughts exactly on Osborn. I think he would be the dark horse. He's the type of leader that gets results no matter the cost. Some people go for that kind of thing. I think Shaw has a very good chance at walking away with the win. He's the perfect politician. Deep pockets, charisma, handsome, cunning, etc. Supporting the sentinel project would definitely increase his odds of winning. Yeah, I see Reed in a VP position. I don't think someone with a personality like his is suited for president. He can be a bit neurotic at times. Him and Fury would be a force to reckon with.From this four I would vote for Fury, I don't care how much people think he screwed up, from all the directors of SHIELD so far he was the one who handled things the best.

lol Hey bro nothing wrong with that.Funny thing is I'm not even american, and I'm still commenting in this thread.
@Wise Son:
I agree with your comparison between Hill and Waller, but the fact that Waller is more of a habitual line stepper means she would end up knocking Hill out of the election relatively early. As a citzen of this country I would prefer to have Hill as President than Waller, but knowing the way they both operate Hill is going to learn ... Basically they both play the same game, only The Wall plays it harder. I actually think President Shaw would be a great idea for a Marvel story arch.
