IT’S A QUESTION NEARLY AS OLD AS superhero comics themselves: If you could be any crimefighter, who would it be? Answering that question when you’re running for higher office, however, proves to be a heavier weighted and closely examined answer.
Freelance documentary producer and writer Darren Garnick tells Comic Riffs on Wednesday that he has made a video “for fun” in which his tween-aged son, Ari — whom Garnick calls a “superhero fiend” — poses that singular query to the contenders:
If you could be any superhero in the world, WHO would you be?
Garnick’s new video is titled: “Republicans in Tights: Behind the Scenes of the ‘Superhero Primary.’ “
The first thing you may notice is that among these human contenders, Superman wins a mortal majority. Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and the pre-suspended Herman Cain all pick the Man of Steel! Afterall, He is the most recognized American icon and perhaps, coincidently, he is the most Powerful Man in the World. ;)
