Comic Book Characters Who Would Definitely Vote Democrat

Spider-Man does not get involved in politics much; he has other life issues. Peter Parker is a scientist. Like most American scientists, he joins the Democratic Party. He also supports social programs that help the struggling people of New York City survive.

Republicans reject 'handouts,' but most social liberals back welfare and programs helping people in need. Pete supports his Aunt May's program in the MCU for people displaced by the blip. In comics, Pete offers his help whenever possible. Pete also supports justice system reform and local law enforcement, as long as they do not arrest him.

Oliver Queen looks like a Republican. His wealth and ownership of a huge multinational company suggest that. But Ollie is a progressive liberal. Green Arrow pushes superhero support for candidates.DC Universe: DecisionsHe endorses Davis Brewster, the Democratic ticket candidate who many see as far-left progressive. He appears on TV. He discusses his stance, saying, "Great men always threaten the status quo. A man who wants to change the country as much as Davis does is bound to get called a few bad names."

Shortly after, he announces, "I am formally endorsing Senator Brewster for President of the United States." Ollie may be a billionaire. He is not like the 45th president. He is an ardent Democrat. His stance on equal pay, worker's rights, and labor unions supports backing a Democratic candidate.

Professor Charles Xavier fought for minority rights his entire adult life. Minorities can walk through walls and blow up the Capitol Building. But having power does not mean minorities lack equal law protection. Thinking Professor X could be a Republican is impossible!

Everything about Xavier—battles against lawmakers, the goal of a planet where mutants are equal—puts him on the Democratic side. He supports education assistance (he owns and runs a school). He does not discriminate. His main foe is a mutant and former ally who thinks world peace comes from fighting humans. Xavier follows governed democracy principles. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

Beast Boy can change into any animal he wants instantly, but he does not seem like someone who flips his political views randomly.DC Universe: DecisionsHe is asked who he supports. He replies, "Oh yeah Suarez in the Man. Gravitas is the key, and he has that and then some."

Martin Suarez is a Democratic candidate in the next election. Logan likely connects with Suarez's views on civil rights, arms control, and equal opportunity, plus many other progressive issues.

Suarez likely aligns with him on regulating and improving the foster system and fixing correctional facilities. His own experience being mistreated by his parents and a guardian gives him strong feelings about this, suggesting he wants to help other kids facing similar mistreatment.

He stands on traditional Democratic values.

People call him Power Man now, but Luke Cage was an inmate. He faced jail time, mistreatment, and experiments while inside. This man hates seeing people beaten and taken advantage of. He takes to the streets to enforce his own social justice. He looks out for the little guy because heHe was once.the little guy... he was never little, but he was beaten, bloodied, and taken advantage of while vulnerable.

Cage embraces justice system reform as a key party platform. He also prefers not facing bad guys with side arms. This is not for his safety; it protects others and keeps innocent bystanders safe. He probably supports civil rights actions to give every American an equal chance.

Blue Beetle shows his position inDC Universe: DecisionsWhen asked which candidate he supports in the election, he says, "Martin Suarez, I guess. Or maybe Brewster? Which one is promising the Universal Health Plan that reorganizes the entire...? Oh yeah, then definitely Suarez."

Martin Suarez runs for the highest office. Like most Democrats, he backs a universal health care program.

Sometimes, one issue moves a voter to a candidate. Jaime Reyes shows strong feelings about universal health care. Because of this, he votes for Democrats. He acts like a 'straight ticket' voter, always voting for the party supporting his views.

Reed Richards is a scientist. Being a scientist does not guarantee a person is a Democrat, but the numbers show a trend. Fifty-five percent of American scientists identify as Democrats; only six percent identify as Republicans. Over fifty years of comics detail Reed Richards' character and views.

Richards focuses on education, climate change fixes, and other environmental problems. He backs regulation and stopping businesses (like his own) from harming the planet. He cares about arms control and other issues. These issues make him stop looking through his microscope to fight villains. Thus, he supports correctional facility reform and more education funding.

This is where he stands on traditional Democratic values.

Martian Manhunter is one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe. When an election arrives, he uses his vote to help elect the Democratic ticket. As an immigrant, J'onn J'onzz has strong views on immigrant rights. He feels this strongly because he faced scorn upon entering the United States... and Earth—after all, he comes from Mars!

J'onn J'onzz also cares about arms control but values individual rights. He wants justice system reform and wants the country to let its people live their lives. J'onnz strongly supports civil rights. The issue he focuses on most is immigration.

This is where he stands on traditional Democratic values.

Growing up in a system that degrades you usually makes people side with those who want to tear that system down for inclusion. The United States had a large civil rights movement, which the Marvel Universe shows with mutant treatment. Jean Grey, as a mutant, feels the hatred from the majority. She sides with the party that supports civil rights.

That party is the Democratic Party. Equal rights for everyone, no matter gender, religion, belief, or mutation, is a core idea of the party. Jean wants to protect and expand mutant civil rights. For this reason, she is a Democrat.

This is where she stands on traditional Democratic values.

Ray Palmer shows great innovation in the DC Universe. His genius brain drives most of his inventions. He wants to improve the world with science, which made him a superhero. Palmer remains a scientist. Since most scientists identify as Democrats, Palmer likely does too. His party affiliation depends on more than just that.

Palmer helps people. This isn't a joke about his size-changing powers. He never ignores someone needing aid. This fits the Democratic Party's support for social programs and welfare. Palmer would support universal healthcare and expanding science education in America.

Thanks toDC Universe: DecisionsDoctor Light's stance is clear. During a street interview, she stated who she prefers in the next election. She said, "As someone who chose to become a US citizen, I take my vote very seriously. It's for Brewster. Without a doubt." Davis Brewster was a presidential hopeful who identified with the Democratic Party. An immigrant would favor the party that supports an easier path to immigration.

Because undocumented immigration is a major issue everywhere, her support for Democrats makes sense. She also values science, and aThe 2009 poll, 55% of scientists identify as Democrats, 32% are independent, and only 6% support the Republican side.

Matt Murdock, AKA Daredevil, works hard to enforce the law. When the system fails, he acts alone. This vigilantism comes from counter-culture and opposes what he upholds. This places him as a social liberal. He holds strong views on law enforcement and the justice system.

Murdock would definitely side with the Democratic Party. His superhero life and association with the law give him another point for Democrats. The United States has the largest attorney population, home to 66% of the world's lawyers. About 97% of those attorneys gave political donations to the Democratic Party through the American Trial Lawyers Association, according to areportfrom 2012.

In a talk with fellow Birds of Prey member Huntress inDC Universe: DecisionsLady Blackhawk explains why she supports Democratic candidate Davis Brewster for president in the next election. They discuss the candidates. She says, "My vote's too important to waste on an 'It's our time' symbolic gesture. We aren't electing a role model. We're electing a national leader. And believe me, Davis Brewster is the leader we need right now. Period."

Lady Blackhawk's Huntress distorted words in a television interview that day. This placement made the progressive liberal uncomfortable. During her original time, she fought for women's equal rights, traveling to the future because of Zero Hour. She supports a female president, but her beliefs push her to vote for the man she thinks fits the job.

The Incredible Hulk might smash a voting booth, but Dr. Bruce Banner has political views. As long as he doesn't get green skin during an election, Dr. Banner will vote for Democrats. Dr. Banner belongs to that group of scientists. He worked on arms development, but he cares more about the welfare of all mankind.

Banner dislikes the armed forces. They have hunted him across the planet since the Hulk first appeared. The military industrial complex has targeted him for years.

Firestorm appears in the four-issue miniseries.DC Universe: Decisions.When asked who he supports in the election, Firestorm says, "I support Suarez. He's sensible, tough, and he has the experience in international matters that others lack."

As a superhero dealing with planet-wide issues, it makes sense that a guy like Firestorm cares if a candidate prioritizes international affairs.
