Professor X. He's already responsible with even more power, and this way people would choose to listen to him.

Lex Luthor.

Sure, he wants to kill Superman, that's not the best political stance, but other than that he'll basically just focus on fixing everything else that slows society down in order to have a society that's better at killing Superman.

Plus it's not like he's successful at killing Superman. So really it's a win-win.

Elon Musk is Temu Lex Luthor.

I don't know, isn't he some ultraliberal technobroligarch that would experiment on the poor under the guise of affordable healthcare ?

[–] AnnaFrankfurter@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So no difference from current situation we are in.

That is what I was getting at

Dr.Doom. He's got experience and a pretty good track record all things considered.

Scrooge McDuck (Duck Tales version). Dude knows how to manage people and balance a budget. Sure he might occasionally get obsessed with some treasure in the middle east but that's no different than most presidents.

Bugs Bunny.

Just for the comedy that might ensue from how horrible of a president he'd be, my vote is Principal Dr. Cinnamon J. Scudworth with Buttlertron as his VP.

Either that, or if possible, as a slightly more serious answer, why not have someone like an actual scientist like Professor Professor from The Secret Show with Name Changed Daily as the VP ( or vice versa )? They already run a not-so-secret spy organization, so why not?

Uncle Iroh, but post general/fire lord.

Satsuki Kiryuin, fuck it she might get our shit together.

Captain planet.

Maybe we'd finally actually do something about climate change and for an extra special bonus we get to see him kick the shit out of the likes of the Koch's and whatever demon spawn runs Nestle.

Side note: mufasa is my namesake! I'm just so super creative and ran it backwards lol

Brother she would be perfectly happy with Trump as president as long as that bitch Trudy Beekman lost all of her savings first.

If anyone from the archer cast is president im going Lana > Cyril > Pam > Krieger (The last would ensure our destruction, but we would certainly go out in a memorable way).

Both of the archers are right up there with Cheryl/Carol/Charlene for piss poor candidacy.

@Melatonin Since you lot can't be trusted I'm calling in Princess Twilight Sparkle to take you back to a monarchy.

Jessica Rabbit.

All those "women can't be president" douchebags would shut the fuck up and start becoming "nice guys" which would be cringy but at least it would get them to stop sabotaging the rest of us.
