His superpower is getting other superheros to fully fund him and he regularly loses fights to innocent unarmed civilians.
Four-episode arc where he copes with a kid calling him fat in "terrorist language".
He just siphons the power of donor heroes and fires it erratically like a sprinkler
His weakness is a rock thrown by a small child.
With his trusty sidekick Hospital Destroyer
is this a parody
Yes, in a sense. But in another, more literal sense, no
More of a farce at this point
New The Boys spinoff is looking good
I was going to say... This has a hard B-tier supervillain vibe out of the gate. Might as well call him "Captain Evil Marvel" and give him a small goatee.
he can't be killed because then the killer would be anti-Semitic. Checkmate, commies.
capeshit once again being fascist without trying
oh they're trying
Was Sabra not jingoistic enough?
One part of art/marketing/communicating that I struggle with is clarity of message. I like subtlety and metaphor, but people who are looking for a service or when you have to express your needs, you are well served by explicit and simple messaging. Al's Spaghetti House probably gets more customers looking for Italian food than The Noodle Forest. "I don't want to go to the event tonight because I am feeling overwhelmed" illicits more relevant responses than "I am tired and scatterbrained right now."
Sabra was already too on the nose as her costume was literally the Israeli flag. This is ridiculous. There must be some subtlety for a good design. Spiderman is relatable because he has trouble balancing being a hero and being a person. It has immediate connotation when you look at him. Goku is lighthearted and likes to fight. The immediately recognizable, unique design lets people go "that's literally me."
Though, as I look for context, I think it's just some Israeli woman making fan art and some organization acknowledging it. I don't think it's an actual new series. I mean, hey, she made it well designed and communicative.

He's relatable because he's been around for 60 years, telling compelling personal stories in a variety of media. This thing is just a new mascot for a military branch.
Might as well stack Spiderman up against Tony the Tiger.

Maybe Sabra feels relatable to Israelis because her costume elicits feelings of nationalism.
I mean honestly there really aren't a lot of famous heroes whose costumes reflect the flag of a nation; outside of Captain America no one else comes to mind.
There are Captain [country]s for many countries, and there was a comic series about the [obviously spoooky] Chinese Avengers
Captain america but instead he's an evil 
Huh, admittedly I didn't know that. I primarily read fantastic four, x-men, avengers, gen x, DC stuff, and spider-man; but the marvel universe is admittedly pretty huge.
I mostly see the other Captains used for jokes, admittedly.
Regarding Chinese Avengers, I think there might actually be multiple. Here is one group:
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/People%27s_Defense_Force_(China)_(Earth-616)
And another:
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/People%27s_Defense_Force_(China)_(Earth-616)
Ah, my bad, the group I was thinking of was actually a DC one:

I had to sift through some real brainrot to find this (there are more), so check out at least the last one. It is, at the very least, interesting, though I think it's obviously mainly informed by orientalist xenophobia.
I only know about Captain Mexico due to Marvel Zombies. It was some serious edgelord shit, but killing off the important characters allowed others (such as Morbius) to shine.
Is this the cum extractor operator?

Yeah, it's "Iron Dome" like "iron lung", what they bring in as an intensive, industrial replacement when the natural one can't do the job.
Only has a 40% success rate and results in as much collateral damage as Zack Snyder Superman
.....you know, you just made me realize that all the people who are championing "Israel's right to self defense" would never depict a result in a movie/show as we're getting with the Gaza genocide, and the audience would be upset if you did.
Basically picture the ending of the Ultron movie, except instead of Ultron you have Captain Genocide here doing the insane collateral damage just to kill a small ragtag team of enemies.
Slapping the Star of David on everything I can like a brand logo
That's how you know they're a true vassel state of the US.
"Genocide Man!"
He's gonna be like the gun devil and have a power specifically for shooting Palestinian kids in the knee
specifically for shooting Palestinian kids in the knee
Also he was born with a mental radar to detect where reporters and their families live; it never sees use, don't worry about it.
Given who summoned the gun devil this may actually be canon.
When a freak lab accident made him bulletproof in only the goatee region of his face, one Raytheon engineer knew he had been given a job to do
Who wouldn't like some iron dome on their [rolling whataboutism bot]
Re-rolling whataboutism bot
One last time: whataboutism
Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
good bot
By day, he's jusst an average every day Isreali settler from Brooklyn.
By night... He's also just an Isreali settler.

I feel like the "glowing eyes in shadow" mask style is a bad choice if you want this character to look actually heroic.
It's a common thing for Marvel heroes, the most obvious one being Iron Fist, but there are some others
