None of the above really.

I think I'd trust Cap most to not screw something up though. Well at least more than things already are.

Cap if I had to pick, but I have serious reservations about all of them.

ya, no offense to the superheroes but they take measures into their own hands, I would want them to pursue justice with their own faculties not try to coerce a country into their will.

Why no Cyborg? ( I got all excited to vote for him when I read the prompt).

Iron Man. Advances in technology will increase, and the country would have substantial defense. All while having a good time.

I don't vote for any politicians in Britain but Superman is one of the few people (fictional he may be) that I'd vote for. Because he's unlike any politician, that would make him an inspirational figure to look after humanity.

Doom has this. Sure he may be running around doing generally bad stuff but I'm trusting his genius and somewhat benevolent attitude to make a nice lil country. With robots. And stuff.

Captain America and Iron Man are hypocrites and neither Batman nor Superman would be willing to the make the tough decisions. Has to be Wonder Woman a great pragmatist, diplomat and tactician.

To all the people saying Superman, Batman, or Cap, what happens if the country goes to war? They're not going to be willing to take lives. I say Someone like Doom or WW. WW is compassionate but knows the realities of War. Read "The Prince" and then tell me Supes or Bats or Cap can lead a country.

What's "The Prince"?

Totally agree Superman, Batman and Captain America are crazy choices. Even Storm would be a better option.

@SolthesunGod: "The Prince" is a book written by Niccolo Machiavelli that describes the types of things a ruler will have to do in order to gain and keep political power. They include manipulation, war, understanding that not everyone can be saved, using people for the benefit of the entire country rather than for the benefit of the people he's using. Basically a ton of things that Supes, Bats and Cap would never ever do (as anyone who listened to the most recent podcast realizes I'm sure.) The point of the book is to say that an idealist can never properly rule over a country, there are inherent immoral needs of a king/president/prime minister etc.

Cheers I was just wondering I hadn't hear of a comic story by that night. I might give the book a read.

No wolverine? He's the obvious choice. No one would eff with us, Congress would get $hit done, and we'd have some hot chick as first lady

Captain America. He was an average guy and now has great power, so he knows what to do with it and how it feels to be powerless. He was alive during the 40s and has been alive to see things most of us had not, and he could compare and contrast then and now. Plus he was born in America so he is an American citizen. And he has political views that seem very liberal.

Only Cap, Batman, Cyclops, and Iron Man are eligible. You have to be a natural-born citizen, to lead my country (America) so President Cap strikes again. Tony for VP because clean energy.

Wonder Woman all the way. ah to live in an Amazonian society with temples of worship for the greek gods, classes that teach ancient greek (language, art, history, culture), to learn Amazonian fighting techniques, maybe even get a chance to intern for the mighty princess oh if only my dreams could come true. this is something i've thought about since the 90s wonder woman series. Superman would have to be her second in command with Philipus as secretary of defense. heck i'll just move to paradise island and just have open borders so that all the world would be open to live there. an island of peace where people no matter their past could have a fresh start. Paradise Island would be an example to the world

Seriously, people? Iron Man is even below Doctor Doom? He's the only one with actual presidential qualities that is even from this planet that wouldn't turn the place into a police state. *Sulks in disagreement with fictional superhero election that has no bearing on anything whatsoever*

The Joker, of course! Sure, he'd do some crazy murderous acts on our country. But who else would mess with us? Seriously.

One thing for sure, it wouldn't be boring..

With Batman as President we can trust that he will have a contingency plan for everything. Plus I wouldn't feel bad not donating to the campaign since he is already a billionaire.

I would also want Jason Todd as VP because he would be willing to do things Batman wouldn't in order to protect the country.
