there are conservative heroes like Hawkman and Hawk of Hawk and Dove. but perhaps one of the greatest examples of making commentary on a social issue comes from the Green Lantern comics that started a team-up arc with Green Arrow, one of the most liberal heroes out there.

from DC Comics' Green Lantern book, Vol 2 #76. Published in 1970, An elderly African-American man asks Green Lantern Hal Jordan

So while i obviously dont rlly like conservative characters cuz im a communist, im also a HUGE batman fan and i HATE billionaires. Most fiction reflects reality but its also nice to imagine a world where the left and right can see eye to eye without the right getting all... nazi-y.

Indeed, because even they know to put aside their differences when there's a bigger threat.

I think the best thing about comics and fiction is that we dont have to take it too seriously and we can have the fantasy people that simply dont exist in real life (i.e. conservative americans fighting for racial equality, ethical billionaires, global terrorists who r relatable/sympathisable, etc)
