splashpage.mtv.com— We posed that question to various comic book writers, asking them how some of the characters they’re well-known for scripting would’ve voted in today’s election. Here’s how they responded

I disagree. Stark is big government (since he had made superhero-ing into a government gig).Captain America is a traditionalist, old-school values, right-of-center type of guy.But that's the thing with comic book characters, there made for everyone to find something to like about them.
Better title for article: "We interview comic writers who support Obama".It seems to me that saying that the character you write votes a certain way is a good way to lose readers. If I were to say that Character1 is definitely a McCain supporter, some Obama supporters would probably stop reading (and vice-versa).Comic characters are made for everyone to find something in them to relate to. Bringing in politics does a good job of destroying that.

It's been awhile since I've checked in on Thor - is he still Don Blake? Otherwise I don't think an Asgardian can vote.

I take that back. I think he'd definitely vote for Emperor Norton.

@ironhide: True, but he makes over $250,000 a year.

Bea Arthur. Defninitely Bea Arthur.

Ultimate Thor would vote Obama. Or Kucinich, as Thor was always a friend to the Dwarves.

Green Lantern voted for Obama cause he's black

Looks like the only place to find one of these Obama comic books now is online. Look at some of these prices, you will be shocked. <a class="user" href="http://niche-auctions.com/obama-collectible-comic-books.html">http://niche-auctions.com/obama-collectible-comic- ...</a>
