Super @@LEADER@@ ?


Recently a comic book company has made a superhero in your likeness, " Super @@LEADER@@," in which you are portrayed as a hero who destroys villains and beats up bad guys for the good of the people. It has gained popularity among the public and your advisors are beginning to question if all this extra light is what you need.

Valididty: No government-controlled press

Option 1: "This is amazing!" says your publicity advisor, @@RANDOMNAME@@. "Because of this people are seeing you in a light that has never been graced upon you before! Your popularity among the young people of @@NAME@@ is skyrocketing, we should endorse this to furthermore your image of a good guy stomping out crime."

Fallout: Many people across @@NAME@@ anxiously wait for the next issue of Super @@LEADER@@

Option 2: "While I do agree that this is good for your popularity, is it really good in the long run?" Says your brother @@NAME@@, who was visiting for some tea. "You gotta realize how quickly this could flip around, make you the villain of the story. While the good intent is there I believe that the risk is just not worth the reward. You should shut down this comic before it grows any larger. In fact, we should shut down any use of your likeness anywhere you don't approve.".

Fallout: writers cannot use @@LEADERPLURAL@@ name and likeness anywhere

Option 3: "You know this gives me an idea," says your minister of propaganda @@RANDOMNAME@@. "What if we made comics books about other world leaders, our enemy perhaps or even are political rivals. Except we make them the villains, we make them the evildoers of the story with Super @@LEADER@@ coming to save the day every time." They proceed to slink off into a corner with a mischievous grin on their face.

Fallout: Every week Super @@LEADER@@ fights of political rivals

Option 4: "This has got to be making some dough!" Says your Finacial advisor, "I mean with how popular this comic is getting the cash that it must be raking in must be immense, and your not getting a dime of it! Think of how much this could help us if we just seized their assets and profits and if they dont comply we just shut them down!"

Fallout: companies fudge the numbers in order to not be seized by the government

Option 5: "You know, I liked it when I read about you blowing up the bad guys. You were like WOOSH!, BAM!, ZAP! And then you saved the day, it was amazing!" Says your niece, who is visiting with your brother, "You should go and blow up the bad guys in real life, it would be so cool and everyone would totally love you!" She then pulls out a mini action figure of you and starts flying it around the room.

Fallout: sightings of a masked vigilante in @@CAPITAL@@ are all the news

Any advice would be most helpful

The premise doesn't explain what the problem is, and the issue is too remote for the leader. People are writing comic books about me. So what? It's like if someone writes a fanfiction about a world leader -- is that leader really going to care enough to do anything about it?

I edited the issue to make it more propaganda-based. With the question being, Should I use this image to harm other people's images?


Also added a new option.

I really, really like this! Just feel like it's missing an option but I'm not sure what option that is.

Option 4 and 3 are in the wrong order. Just a minor nitpick with formatting.

You might want to elaborate on how a comic book is exploiting a leader's likeness as a certain hero. I also don't get why your advisors should ask you first before using it for propaganda purposes? Wouldn't the leader (regardless of being in a democracy or autocracy) have already exploited their own likeness for their national image?

Oops!

Addressed I see what you mean and made the starting prompt a bit more accommodating to your advice. Now your advisors are questioning what you will do what this power (and if it's a good thing). I also added a bit more detail on what the hero does to further "elaborate" as you have put it.

Thanks for the advice. You just made the issue better by helping with this!

Option 2 is kind of redundant. If nation has no free speech, then they will be silenced by default if they try to make leader a villain, and if nation has free speech, there's nothing they can do about it if the comic book decided to make leader the villain

[Cretox State]

You have to remember that Leader is the most powerful person in the nation, not a random citizen. Someone writes a comic book about me, big deal, why would I care? It might make more sense if the problem was the author profiting off using your likeness in a benign way: you’re a high-level public figure, so should the usual rules of using people’s likeness even apply to you?

You make a great point, so I added a obtain to address it:

Edited the second option to make it less redundant and make a greater change, allowing NO likeness anywhere

--- In fact, we should shut down any use of your likeness anywhere you don't approve.---- was added
