Professor Socialism
Professor Socialism was a well-known crimefighter in the the 1930's. His powers include: the ability to create welfare programs, propping up failing businesses by nationalizing them, smashing deficits by increasing spending, and exponentially increasing the size of government with his Expand-O-Ray (pictured). His influence waned when it was discovered that his powers actually aided the evil he was supposed to be fighting.
In the spirit of bell bottoms, vinyl records, and the Volkswagon Beetle, his popularity is on the rise again. It is unknown why he believes his powers will work this time around, but unfortunately it looks like we're going to find out.
