5 Comic Book Candidates Who'd Make Good Presidents & 5 Who Wouldn't

5 Awful Candidates

5. Captain America

I'll admit that I've never been a Captain America fan. He sometimes comes off as all title, no substance, and though I think his readiness to fight for the American way is admirable, I can't say that he's always got a good grip on what's good for the people. He's a bit too conservative, I think, to represent every member of the United States. That's not to say that he allows his personal views to get in the way of how he treats people, because I think he would be just to any American, no matter their race, sexuality, or personal beliefs. But he was a man frozen in time, and though he's been around enough to have an idea of the social structure of things, there's still a bit of a disconnect and longing for days of old that keeps me (and probably other voters) from really pulling for him to win.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
