Economics Themed Superheroes

Two weeks ago, we asked you all to submit your economics-themed superheroes/supervillains. Here are your submissions. Many of them were done using Marvel's Create Your Own Superhero function. Others were done using other software and one was hand-drawn! All of them are spectacular.

First, we have THE TOXIC ASSET, created by Tim. Too big to fail, just big enough to kill.

The Toxic Asset

Next, we have HELICOPTER BEN, created by E. Supplying justice, demanding vengeance...

Next, we have CONFUSED EX-HIPPIE, created by Matt. "Whoa, my portfolio is, like, so diversified."

Confused Ex-Hippie

Next up is GOLDLINE by Baylee. He'll give you a gold rush!

Next we have three characters and descriptions created by Paul Richard Gerome Wojtkiewicz.

The first is GOLD STANDARD, a powerful cyborg who vowed to protect the world from inflation.

The second is TAXING COLOSSUS, a mysterious menace, which seeks funding for the diabolical skills of his master (yet unknown).

The third is CLASSY, who in normal life is just an average billionaire, but when there is trouble, he speaks the phrase, "A Habitats System I Miss" that seems gibberish. Few know, however, that this is a magical anagram for the names of famous economists: Smith, Mises, Say and Bastiat.

Classy

Next up, we have HYPER INFLATION, created by Jeremy. The longer he stays in the fight, the more powerful he becomes! He'll burn through your strongest assets given the chance. The only way to bring him down is with 24 karat gold. Shadowbanker beware!

Hyper Inflation

Finally, we have HOMELESS SUPERHERO, created by D. He lost his job, but he is still a superhero!

Again, all of these submissions were absolutely amazing and all deserve much praise. So praise them everyone!
