What Kind Of President Would Captain America Be?
Ah, spoiler warnings are pointless now.
In last week's Ultimates #15, Captain America became President of what is left of the Unites States of America. It was a.. rather odd move, and I'm still not sure it stands up politically., and smacks of voter fraud. But then, that's what I thought about George W Bush's election too. Moving on. The Ultimate Universe has the President it has… but what kind of President is he?
Remember, this is the Ultimate Captain America, far more of an interventionist neocon than the Marvel Universe FDR version, and has been described as Glenn Beck if he's worked out, instead of eating pizza. So, how does issue 16 pan out for the new man in charge?
1. He knows how to delegate.
2. He's a multi-tasker
3. He can prioritise.
4. He can think outside the box.
5. He can bring both sides together.
6. He cuts through bureacracy…
7… with his fists! Also, a man of the people.
8. He really doesn't like bureaucracy. Even when it's the Constitution.
9. He likes to invade things. And disband things.
So… would you vote Ultimate Cap?
