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

[–] PumpkinSkink@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

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

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.

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 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

So no difference from current situation we are in.

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.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 3 points 20 hours ago

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?

OG Jesse Custer from The Preacher comic series, not the sanitized version from the series.

Uncle Iroh, but post general/fire lord.

I was gonna say, you've got to be real careful about your timeline there

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

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.

Keith David's president from Rick and Morty, because of the soothing baritone.
