Stop It! Muslim Ms. Marvel Now Getting Out the Vote for Hillary

Can’t a superhero just save the world from an evil villain like they’re supposed to?

Ms. Marvel got a makeover in 2015 as Muslim-American Kamala Khan and was introduced in the first issue as the defender of her classmates’ microaggressions. Quite a difference from the former Ms. Marvel, Carol Danvers — an Air Force officer infused with super powers taking on mutant villains bent on destroying the world.

And now, the new and “improved” Ms. Marvel is doing her civic duty and rallying voters for Hillary Clinton, according to the comic’s creator. Issue #13 will release in late November but will serve as an “educational PSA” all about voting rights. As HeatStreet notes, “It delves into how it’s illegal to be prevented from voting by an employer, and, most importantly, on how a protest vote (or no vote at all) is an abrogation of everything our forefathers fought for.” As Khan goes from house to house in her New Jersey hometown, she meets plenty of resistance and even gets scolded by a Bernie Sanders look-a-like, which leaves her powerless and passed out from emotional drainage.

Creator Sana Amanat talked to Seth Meyers on his late-night show about the new issue and the main character’s feelings towards Donald Trump:

“The first thing that she would say is, you’re doing such irreparable damage to young Americans, and minorities everywhere. And then she’d probably remind him that his grandfather was an immigrant, I believe, and if he had the same type of vitriolic sentiment … thrown at him, Trump would not have the opportunities that he would have or the successes that he would have.”

Now, that’s a riveting storyline for a comic book! And this photo promotional for the next issue is sure to boost sales:

But isn't this a better choice?

The Freedom Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Therefore we do not endorse political candidates either in primary or general elections. However, as defenders of America’s social contract, we insist that the rules laid down by both parties at the outset of campaigns be respected, and that the results be decided by free elections. We will oppose any attempt to rig the system and deny voters of either party their constitutional right to elect candidates of their choice.
