Bruh there is literally a popular media character called Captain America.

If you were trying to satirically come up with the main character of a state propaganda show, a name like that would probably come to mind. For satire.

Imagine how US Libs would react if a superhero called Captain China started getting really popular.

      There was a character called “Baby Killer” a few years ago in Marvel. He was a Polish general in a cloned teenage body, and his power was being violent and shooting guns. So you know, not really out there in terms of plausibility.

        Polish general

        I had to google that. Old style female surname (male style would be Zamorski, meaning literally “Oversea”), not a polish first name - Mikhail is russian version, or possibly… ukrainian, especially that this character was introduced in 2014, rather famous for some massacres in that country.

        I half expected it to be jab at general Jaruzelski, but it seems not to be, and we don’t actually had any real bad generals lately. Closest one would be field-bishop (yes that’s a real general rank in Poland) Sławoj Leszek “Flaszka”* Głódź, but he wouldn’t be Baby “Killer”, since he was pedophile, also famous for incredible even for a catholic bishop feats of coruption.

        *Nickname meaning literally “The Bottle” since his drinking feats and parties were equally awesome to corruption
