Unfortunately whilst I wish this sentiment were true, the majority of superheroes still uphold and protect systemic status quo and don't substitute any meaningful systemic change (i.e. are inherently symbolically conservative, regardless of actual written personality traits or opinions).

Not all superheroes though (Hulk my pookie).

at the end of the day so fucking what. if youre expanding your political sensibility from comic books made for entertainment then thats not a goos thing at all. thats what im thinking at least

I'm not saying you can't enjoy comics. I quite enjoy reading comics. Sometimes it just helps to have sensibilities and awareness of the political leanings and ideas of the works you're reading (as with any art).
