superheroes never seem to approach the systemic problems that lead those who are failed by the system to a life of villainy, but rather silence those voices to uphold the status quo. Are superheroes just neoliberalists with capes?

It’s not him being a teenage Nazi that’s the issue here: it’s that he’s still one now, he has been throughout and his politics are those of the racist, fascist far right. The difference between him and e.g. Griffin is that Farage knows where the line is and that he should push at it, not cross it.
