This is a complete strawman, Stan Lee is Jewish and wrote the dialogue of the Spiderman stories whereas Ditko did the drawings, as well as writing Captain America and other stories up until the 70s where other libs like Gerry Conway took over. The idea that there was "Americaman" and "Blue Justice" is ridiculous, the anti-communist and patriotic allegories came because they were made when people needed a morale boost during the literal WW2 and cold wars with the soviets where communists were actual dictators and not your son's weird friends. Even then, the "anti-communist" era of Captain America was so brief that Marvel apologized for it and retconned it to be a right wing nutjob who stole the name
Another thing is like these comics tackling issues like drug crime were created because people demanded that comics comment on these political issues that were seriously affecting the populace. Stan Lee and Gerry Conway used Harry's drug addiction to call out Norman, an old rich white businessman, for only caring about it when it got out of the hood
This regurgitated Moore shit is regarded when you realize hes an anarchist that was a part of vigilante antifa groups. Also what is the state but anonymous men with enormous amountsh of power?
And to the argument of "well the idea of a superpowered individual having the authority to punish evildoers is fascistic" well good thing they collaborate with police then :)
But my other argument against all this is this: theyre not real
