In the comic book, the bad guy is a leftist, while the heroes are mostly right right-leaning. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I’m expecting Hollywood to turn this around and cast the bad guy as a right-winger or, at least censor the fact that he’s a leftist as it clearly states in the comic.
A Leftist? How so? He’s a Capitalist with megalomaniac tendencies. I’d expound further, but it’d be a spoiler.
