@Brynhyld: Said like a proper Red Skull...
Off YOUR Mind: Would Captain America (or Another Hero) Make a Good President?
Vote Yes for Cap. If The US gets in a fight about human rights and too many people get hurt, he can just give up. Unless they are German of course. See Marvel's Civil War.
In a real world context, I don't see how Cap wouldn't get elected President. Think of how George Washington was responded to for being an undeniable hero to the American people at the time. Think if Colin Powel had run for President in 1996 or 2000, how well received he would have been (not trying to endorse, just saying how popular he was). Of course, this isn't taking into account if heroes were already involved in politics, like in Marvel Civil War.
I think that Batman would make an exceptional Commander and Chief, we would have top-notch Special Forces and Infantry Units along with cutting edge technology, with those two things I serious doubt any countries would try to challenge us and if so Batman would pay them a personal visit.
I dislike the idea of cap being a president. It just doesn't make sense, but I guess in the ultimate universe anything is possible.

I would pick Captain America to be President over the two real life candidates we have now.
So true

President Batman we know it is going to happen.
Hell yeah, if some stupid reporter questions to him, the sure answer will be "SHUT UP I'M THE GODDAMN BATMAN"
I say daredevil, aside from being my absolute favorite hero, he's a lawyer he knows all about the legal ethics and responsibilities of government.
@Chaos Burn: Are you kidding?! Batman is insanely paranoid. there would be cameras everywhere, people would be tracked and targeted. With Batman as President it would be a V for Vendetta style Police state. Cap is probably one of the best choices. He understands the struggle between Freedom and Security.
In DC, Oliver Queen would be a good choice, his whole angle is to "look out for the little guy".
At first I was like "Oh No, this is going to end badly"
But seeing him jump into planes flying around the world kicking people in the teeth and jumping in the plane again was a riot
Also like how he would appoint Avengers to positions in the White House, Loved Hawkeye's position lol
Ultimate Cap 4 more years Haha!
@blackair9: yeah i agree that Cap wouldn't be the best choice. I think the power would corrupt. It would be the American way or the high way. He would be quick to target immigrants that aren't US citizens. I believe Beast would be idle since he is more well rounded and has looked at life through different perspectives.
Captain America is supposed to embody America right? Sounds like he'd be a good pick. He's such an even minded guy.
Superman would be the obvious pick but I'd go with Wonder Woman for the DC nominee.
She's loving, strong, smart, and passionate. She's diplomatic and already has plenty of experience as an ambassador. She's got the warrior's heart so she'd be a good tactical leader. She's loving and would be a good moral and social leader. Economically, she's never really held a job so...idk she's intelligent I'm sure she could figure it out.
Unfortunately there's the issue of her birth. Being that she was not only born in Themyscira but she was made out of clay. Though much like the Republican fables surrounding Obama's birth certificate, this debate is totally fictional. So i guess it doesn't really matter that she's not an actual American.
How about Cyclops? Scott Summers would certainly work his ass off to keep the nation safe by having the best military one could have. And if he had the power himself, like the phoenix force, he'd make the whole world better and not just the US.
I think that the only one who could handle the duties of running a country while still fighting crime efficiently would be Superman. And we all remember how that turned out.
Ohh' this is happening in the Ultimate Universe ?? bleh , wack ' The Ultimate universe the core grounds of plagiarizing all the good stuff past writers have evolved in characters but none of the credit to then extort into Hollywood marvel . .. oh well ,, i'm really surprised they didnt chose the blackpanther , as in Obama . thats what marvel was about current events & warping comical science with it & amazing artwork that speaks before u even read the bubbles ... but then again the blackpanther wasn't even in the Avengers movie.. so apparently Hollywood marvel is controlled & directed for different political uses toward the youth .
Peace :)
