For the 4th of July, I'm building a Red Dawn team. Who is a communist?
So far I have:
Green Arrow
2 varieties of Crimson Dynamo
Titanium Man
Rocket Red
and Harley Quinn, not a commie, but as a bomb-throwing anarchist I have to include her.
I thought about putting in some Hive troopers since bees are kinda communistic, but I'd rather have straight commies.
Originally my team was going to incorporate another notoriously "Unamerican" political party, but I think the thread got deleted because of the mention.
Marvel's Commie/Russian heroes and villains that have made it into clix include:
) The Rhino
) Kraven the Hunter (actually descended from Russian nobility, so pretty much hated the Commies)
) The Abomination
) The Leader
) Black Widow
) Titanium Man
) Crimson Dynamo
) Radioactive Man
) Colossus
) Magick
) The Mandarin (well, not really--he was Chinese, but hated the Red Chinese and their lot. But you could use him...)
As far as DC goes, they really didn't get into the whole "Red Scare" thing in their comics. The Rocket Reds count, but Green Arrow is DEFINITELY NOT a Communist, just a far-left winger.
"I don't like other people to have nice things that I can't afford." -- Ohoni, Class Act "Geeus Cist!" -- Carlos Mucha, on deities
Just to set the record straight, Green Arrow is/was a socialist with very strong anarchistic leanings as well, NOT a Liberal in any real sense of the word (sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine when Americans misuse that particular word).
I'd let him on a communist team though, he's about as close as you can get in DC (if anything you could always chop off one of his arms and claim it's the Dark Knight Returns Green Arrow!)

Yeah, I've noticed Americans look at politics in left/right only. Not the multitude of possibilities. Like Libertarians. They are leftist, but also advocate gun control. Most Americans can't think that is possible.
Mind you, I'm an American, too =)
