is it tho? If the argument is superheroes CAN be liberal /non elite stories, but the default is white/conservative..

then examples where stories are liberal don’t disprove the argument. Probably two key issues at work...

1) the default character in a story tends to be straight white male, so there’s a generic tendency in that direction

and 2) superheroes tend to be about the best of us, so there’s an easy model of just making them into social elites

possible also the issue that heroes tend to be defined by defending status quo, while villains are about change...
