Not really. I can't find the video that demonstrated this rather well, but Superheroes at their best written don't horde power for the sake of it or elevating themselves at the expense of an easy outgroup, they sacrifice every day for the betterment of all.

I do wonder how the Falangist Governments will draw the Imperial Powers into the war.
Like what I imagine is that they're going to run similar to Nazi Germany pre-War, with the main enemy(other than whatever scapegoat populations they've demonized) being the Socialist Powers. But I don’t...
Depending on how these Catholic States develop, including any Falangist Ideation, they could easily be lumped in with the Jews, Socialists, and other scapegoats. Heck, I'd argue it might be worse for the Irish in those states because they 'betrayed the faith'...somehow.

I was working on my draft for my Batman/Owlman thing, and I came across an issue.
My original idea was to tie thier origin into the Revolution somewhat, with the brothers being separated at a young age during a fictional 'Battle of Gotham', with Alfred saving Bruce and either the...
Using a hypothetical Wilhelm the 2nd Kaiser-ship, I still don't think so. Remember, the driving force of German Politics leading into the Great War was the largely Reformist German Socialist Party(the SPD, I believe), in fact; it's still a major force in German Politics to this day. It wasn't...
That's not really possible here. Wilhelm III's Diplomatic Corps WON him those wars with getting Britain AND the United States on side. France lost the first war because it could only get a few minor powers and Russia on it's side, who had yet to become the beast she was in the Second Weltkreig...
Yeah, that's the thing, Canada was destabilizing and HARD. While most of the violence had been isolated to Canada and Newfoundland, there was enough misfires on the boarder and even outright supply raids by the more desperate factions that the US didn't really have a choice in the matter. Now...
and honestly, the BIG thing that America could do that would likely effect the War would be Trade with Germany. Get that economy running and the Germany Empire is suddenly not in such a bad place food and materials wise.
Yep, Karma got the man quickly once his hold on China collapsed, and it's ugly. There's a reason that despite the gulfs in relative 'success', Mao and Mussolini are regularly put next to eachother.
There is a running theory that part of that might have something to do with both the 'Great Leap...
...and we all know how well that worked out for him after the dust settled.
Seriously, Mao got full-on Mussolini-ed. My Modern China College Class covers his last days, and it's NOT pretty.
Also, I must state that a major part of the reason the Communist Government collapsed like it did was...
There might be a more militarist Edge to American Culture if there hadn't been the Sino-Soviet War and the following exchanges. I live in Texas, and while you can see edges of military pride, it's always dampened by the 'Nuclear Ghost'. The Exchanges of the Sino-Soviet War and the aftermath had...
