Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I’m not doubting he’s pro-environment, but my original comment referred to characters defined by their environmentalism, and the fact that you’re pushing him so hard as a candidate off something that’s very much a secondary characteristic proves how thin the field is overall.
What his primary characteristic in your mind?
I agree how the filed is overall. He's a very small represnetiarion. But I stand by that he's a valid one.
Put it this way, none of the writers of the Wikipedia article on him have included mentions of environmentalism anywhere close to the opening paragraphs.
Though ironically enough, given what the thread was originally about, the only reference to a environmental activism I can see in there is one where he infiltrates a gang of eco-terrorists to take them down…
I ment Swamp Thing! Swamp Thing!
Albo, I think Poison Ivey is anti-hero now. So... progress?
Also, Also super heros are by defintion rectionary - it's a whole thing, there is a book about it. So you may hava a point.
The other thing that occurs to me is that in most "environmentalist" storylines, the villain's polluting is done illegally, so the hero already represents the status quo.
