Here in the United States, Tuesday was Election Day. Many new folks were elected in a variety of roles, all of whom have dedicated the next number of years to serving their fellow citizens. However, around these parts, things always come back to comics.
So we started thinking about the various characters in our favorite comics who have held elected office. Some of these characters we met in office (like Gotham City’ Mayor Hady), whereas others rose from more humble beginnings (like President Lex Luthor). Some were very good at their job (Calvin Ellis is both Superman AND President!), while others were decidedly less so (how many lives did Senator Kelly lose in various X-comics). Regardless of the jobs they did, a lot of these stories really defined their eras and, even if they were minor, were a lot of fun.
This is far from an encyclopedic list, so if we forgot one of your favorites, let us know in the comments!
