This is literally the point of The Boys. What if normal greedy people held the power, what would that look like if they were superpowered.
Even in The Boys, the real evil came from their corporate overlords.
They do hold the power tho
Europe: "Why do Americans hate natives and black people?" after raping Africa for its resources.
Unlike Americans, Europeans would never create systematic forms of oppression....... except with migrants, and Arabs, and Romas, and Samis, and other Europeans.
They never got Ethiopia...
They never got Thailand...

Americans: "Stop with the what-aboutism arguments when they apply to us. Others? Sure, I'm fine with that."
Didn't USA come up with both characters? One in the 1930s and one now? More of a sign of the times I say.
Yeah. The Boys is literally a hot take on current America. And it's awesome. People that think this meme is clever have never seen the show. It's basically the entire point of the show.
This being the entire point of the show is the reason this meme works at all ?!
To be pedantic, Supermen was created by a pair of Canucks and The Boys is the brainchild of an Irishman.
Joe Shuster (Superman's original artist) was Canadian, but Jerry Siegel (the original writer) was from Cleveland.
"If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don't care for human beings." - Nelson Mandela
Now do your country.
Edit: so far GB and Canada have a sense of humour
I'm just waiting for the Swiss Army Man version of Britain.
Canada to Canadians:
A Mountie standing between all the world’s major conflicts blocking the worst of it, in the background there’s a stack of Olympic hockey medals.
Canada to the rest of the world:
Aren’t you guys like, a part of the US? Anyway I put sugar in your tea for you because that’s how the Americans like it.
Canada to indigenous peoples: Homelander.
Canada in Brasil: lets fucking destroy the amazon.
Would probably be more impactful if I had seen that show
You should, it's a great show if you are not against a realistic version of the injustice league.
"realistic" eh
Think it's more a blunt commentary on celebrity culture than anything else
It's actually pretty great
The best part of this is that's the worst version of Superman who was definitely going to turn evil.
At most this one
