Marshal Law (Comic Book)	comment	Set 20 Minutes into the Future, Marshal Law is the story of Joe Gilmore, a.k.a. Marshal Law. A violent Anti-Hero super-hero cop, Marshal Law's job is to kill super-heroes and other super-powered criminals, most of which got their powers from the US Government.A biting satire of super-hero comics, the series was published by Marvel Comics Epic line before being moved onto a variety of other publishers. The series was famous for its satirical look at super-heroes and the public's love of them, while exploring the seedy underbelly of what it means to have absolute power. It also offered a rather scathing attack on American foreign policy under Reagan in The '80s, as Reagan's war against communism in Central America serves as the backdrop of Marshal Law's origin.The series was created by Pat Mills and drawn by Kevin O'Neill. The series itself was a minor hit but has only recently had the rights sorted out; DC Comics printed a hardcover collection of the core books in 2013 (although unfortunately some important bits of character development took place in crossovers with other characters that aren't collected in the edition).Though not a huge hit in its time, Marshal Law would be Vindicated by History, and its themes would be revisited and expanded in The Boys and Stormwatch: Team Achilles. Ironically (and in the wake of the success of The Boys in particular), the series has been subject to revisionism with focus on the humanity in the character compared to the hero hunters in The Boys and Team Achilles.Also, whatever you do, do not confuse this character with the resident Bruce Lee Clone of Tekken Marshall Law. Or mistake this series for the late-nineties TV series Martial Law. Or, of course, the governing tactic of the same name.

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_112890b3	comment	A recurring theme of the series is that, when you break him down, Marshal Law more or less is a superhero. He has both superpowers and unique gadgets, he operates largely on his own initiative, he has a distinctive costume and codename, he fights other superpowered beings he perceives as evil or dangerous, he has a Secret Identity, he has what are essentially sidekicks in many stories, and despite his claims to the contrary, he does want to do good. People pointing this out to him causes him to froth at the mouth.

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	This is continued even further in the first sequel, Marshal Law Takes Manhattan. While the traditional Marvel heroes get some pretty brutal parodying, including things like a Spider-Man analog who's all about shooting a different sticky fluid in public, they're treated as stupid and banal, but mostly harmless. Meanwhile, the Punisher analog gets by far the most direct satire, with him being portrayed as a fascist, racist, paranoid sadist with a persecution complex a mile deep, the ugliest part of the Right-Wing Militia Fanatic power fantasy taken to its endpoint. And even he's not that different from Law, being his old mentor, implying that Law's archetype is rotten at the root.

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_192ba729	type	Older Is Better
Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_192ba729	comment	Golden Age heroes in Super Babylon are depicted as a bunch of relics of a bygone era that were never anything impressive even in their prime: their usage in warfare was a dismal endeavor that only drew the war out, designed for propaganda rather than effectiveness and with the heroes only seeing any success as high-class prostitutes, and they miserably failed to transition away from the battlefield, being wiped out by criminals and gangsters. When revived in the modern day, their old prejudices and perversions have come to the fore to the point that they can scarcely function in modern society, unable to even look at a Japanese or German person without frothing at the mouth. Even their biggest fan, the man minding the museum, ultimately admits that they were a pretty pathetic bunch, and his reason for liking them has less to do with any of their actual feats of heroism and more simply the fact that he's convinced himself that their status as the first heroes means they must have some value.

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_19fc58a2	comment	A Lighter Shade of Black: Marshal Law initially has some positive feelings towards the Private Eye, given that he's a brutal, sadistic, vigilante and that the only thing that makes him any worse than Law is that the Eye's targets aren't usually as able to fight back. Then Kiloton finds out that the Eye is using his sidekicks as organ donors, the Eye kills him, and Law decides that Even Evil Has Standards. The various unnamed Marvel superhero parodies in "Takes Manhattan" seem to be less evil than the other so-called "heroes" in San Futuro, and are instead mostly portrayed as idiotic and ineffective. At the very least, they don't approve of Persecutor's actions— not that it stops Law from brutally killing them in pursuit of the Persecutor regardless.

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_1b5c9c48	type	The Blank
Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_1b5c9c48	comment	The Blank: As a teenager, Private Eye was forced to wear a hood over his face for over a year that left him blind, all as part of a sick experiment his father conducted to see how his son would cope if he was blind. One of Private Eye's replacement sidekicks is also like this, wearing a featureless mask whenever we see him on panel (adding to the creepiness when Marshal Law finds him dissected). The honor guardsmen who recruit young men into becoming super-powered soldiers for the US government wear blank, faceless masks. When Marshal Law ends up getting the crap kicked out of him at their hands while investigating the Sleepman murders, several of them take off their uniforms but not their masks. Discussed by the female hero Marshal Law dates in "Marshal Law vs Pinhead"; the heroine comments that her father wore a blank face mask and never let anyone, not even his own child, see his actual face. She later implies that caused her to develop a fetish for older masked heroes like Law, due to them reminding her of her father. Deconstructed with Marshal Law, whose Marshal Law mask and Screaming Eagle grunt mask are blank-faced. However, Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill show Law's face early on in the series so as to humanize Law as a person.

Breathless, a member of the Secret Tribunal, is a self-pitying and insecure airhead who's constantly kvetching about how hard her life is. However she was the only one that agreed with Marshal Law in trying to rescue the League of Heroes. The other members were going to abandon the League to the aliens.

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_401d4116	type	Broken Aesop
Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: The arc Super Babylon satirizes Golden Age superheroes for their conservative attitudes and prejudices, but also constantly attacks them for their supposed sexual perversion. It's rather hard to take accusations of dated attitudes seriously when the comic itself treats bondage, crossdressing, homosexuality, nudism, and prostitution as either punchlines or signs of moral decay. It's especially obvious when Law's old girlfriend (a strident feminist who gave cogent arguments against toxic masculinity) comes back evil, which is shown by having her dress in a skimpy outfit and get in a relationship with another guy. The crux of the comic is that superheroes are bad, nowhere as heroic as real heroes, and promote the idea that violence is the best option. The titular protagonist isn't exempt from this, when called out for how his actions inspire people to acts of just the characters he fights against, he doesn't deny. The problem is what while the comic criticizes superheroes for resorting to violence, some of the "real heroes" it praises are soldiers who fought in war, ie, people who took part in horrific acts of violence. It should be noted that earlier comics in the series, mostly the original and Takes Manhattan, didn’t have this problem, as they took a much dimmer view of soldiers, the military, and police, seeing superheroes as an extension of their hypermasculine quasi-fascistic methods. Super Babylon mocks superhero outfits as impractical, getting them killed when they went into combat, but it occurs in a story where they handed a defeat by Marshal Law whose outfit is equally impractical.

Also a major moment in showing that Marshal Law means well happened in the first series. He accepts a cheque for one million dollars from the Public Spirit and then thanked his foe in front of the media.

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45	comment	On another level, Secret Tribunal (the comic with the aforementioned expies) mocks the Fantastic Racism seen in X-Men in two ways. First, by calling out the absurdity of using what's more or less a power-fantasy to tell a story of being "outcasts feared by the world" (perhaps best shown when the Jean Grey analogue talks about how no man would choose a mutant like her for a partner despite being an obviously attractive girl with no visible deformities wearing an outfit showing her goods off, which comes off as a jab at Stripperific/Ms. Fanservice lady X-Men characters like Storm or Psylocke or Emma Frost). Secondly, by taking a hacksaw to the notion that mutants are "the next stage of evolution" or Homo Superior by Marshal pointing out that the mutants, from all their talk on how they are destined to replace humanity and are their betters are nothing more than glorified Nazis (backed by one mutant speaking of purging the "inferior").

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_62ec4b15	type	Cast of Expies
Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_62ec4b15	comment	Cast of Expies: Practically all the "heroes" are Captains Ersatz. The most significant are Public Spirit (Superman), Private Eye (Batman) and The Persecutor (The Punisher) who all appear in a twisted fashion, emphasizing the sadistic or tragic aspects of the characters and anti-authoritarian political readings. Besides The Persecutor, Marshal Law Takes Manhattan features parody versions of several other Marvel superheroes, including Mr. Fantastic, Thor, Spider-Man, Captain America, Namor, Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer, The Human Torch, Ant-Man, and Daredevil. Unlike the main three, they aren't so much evil as just stupid. Later we are introduced to the Golden Age Jesus Society of America (JSA), the predecessor to the Jesus League of America, featuring Public Spirit (here being more like Captain America), Private Dick (Bucky/Robin), Miss Victory (Wonder Woman), Tomcat (Wildcat), the Blue Battery (Green Lantern), the Lightning Streaker (The Flash), Hyperman (Hourman), G-Man (Starman), and a bunch of other nameless ones. And where the more modern heroes are Darker and Edgier, these guys are incompetent, condescending, and anything but heroic. Similarly, Secret Tribunal are the X-Men. and the "League of Heroes" group of heroes-in-training in the same story are the Legion of Super-Heroes. Less parodically and more as a straight Captain Ersatz, Dr. Shocc is blatantly based on the title character of Dr. Strangelove. In "Secret Tribunal", O'Neill carefully avoids treading on H. R. Giger's toes too hard, but the story is still pretty blatantly "Marshal Law Vs. Aliens". According to some reports, it was originally written as an official cross-over, but negotiations with the rights-holders fell through.

The cape busters in the aforementioned The Boys and Stormwatch: Team Achilles are generally heroic and have actual superpowers, which can lead to Broken Aesops since their comics revolve around the dangerous nature of superheroes, yet said cape busters are superheroes in all but name. On the other hand, Marshal Law acknowledges that he is a Hunter of His Own Kind. Not only that but Law is portrayed rather negatively and is sometimes called a fascist by the other characters, given his pseudo-Nazi costume and admitted obsession for brutalizing other superheroes; furthermore, Commissioner McGland, Law's superior, views Marshal Law as another tool to ensure the dystopian status quo of San Futuro. In short, despite Law's occupation as a cape buster, Marshal Law is part of the superhero problem rather than the solution to it.

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: To the entire superhero genre, with different arcs specifically attacking one character and story: Fear and Loathing attacks Superman/Captain America and to some extent Wonder Woman. Both are figures of the establishment who refuse to take responsibility for the ideology they espouse and perpetuate. The Kingdom in the Blind attacks every facet of Batman: Deceased Parents Are the Best, Kid Sidekick, Butler, Sociopathic Hero and his belief that Insane Equals Violent. Marshal Law Takes Manhattan attacks the Marvel Universe as a whole, mocking its superheroes as "exotic variations of nothing". The comic mostly targets The Punisher, who is depicted as a jingoistic, sadistic killer that enjoys torturing his victims. The other Marvel Expys, portrayed as former soldiers driven insane by the Super Serum and the war, even reject him from joining the asylum. The Hateful Dead mocks the Death Is Cheap and Retcon-heavy nature of superhero stories, with dead superheroes coming back as ugly zombies and decaying further away from their original concept and context, which was hardly all that heroic to start with. According to Kevin O'Neill, he badgered Mills into doing a Legion of Superheroes parody in "Secret Tribunal", because of his lifelong hatred for their "popular teen" cliquishness and arrogance.

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_ba5bbda5	type	Mirror Character
Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_ba5bbda5	comment	Mirror Character: A recurring theme of the series is that, when you break him down, Marshal Law more or less is a superhero. He has both superpowers and unique gadgets, he operates largely on his own initiative, he has a distinctive costume and codename, he fights other superpowered beings he perceives as evil or dangerous, he has a Secret Identity, he has what are essentially sidekicks in many stories, and despite his claims to the contrary, he does want to do good. People pointing this out to him causes him to froth at the mouth. Oddly enough, Marshal Law and Pinhead have more in common than one might expect. Both of them have bondage imagery as an integral part of their appearances and characterizations, and they both were once soldiers. The plot of the Hellraiser crossover story focuses on how they both welcome physical pain but are less prepared to deal with the emotional pain of their experiences in war, which ends up being their weakness. Pinhead's past human self also wore a uniform with a peaked cap and tall boots that gave him a similar silhouette to Law.

Also the Secret Tribunal, which is a parody of the X-Men.

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_e2415f	comment	While deconstructing traditional superheroes, the comic managed to deconstruct the '90s anti-hero in the '80s. At one point Marshal Law accuses the Public Spirit, a Superman analog, of inspiring an entire generation of heroes to go to war in the Zone, in what can only be described as "Super-Nam". The Public Spirit turns this around by telling Law that Law's own vigilante actions have also inspired people, except in a more horrific manner. The Spirit then reveals that Law inspired the main villain to take up his actions in the first place, thus completing the cycle. The comic then concludes that the differences between traditional superheroes and grim anti-heroes are superficial; Marshal Law is just as bad as, if not worse than, the Public Spirit. This is continued even further in the first sequel, Marshal Law Takes Manhattan. While the traditional Marvel heroes get some pretty brutal parodying, including things like a Spider-Man analog who's all about shooting a different sticky fluid in public, they're treated as stupid and banal, but mostly harmless. Meanwhile, the Punisher analog gets by far the most direct satire, with him being portrayed as a fascist, racist, paranoid sadist with a persecution complex a mile deep, the ugliest part of the Right-Wing Militia Fanatic power fantasy taken to its endpoint. And even he's not that different from Law, being his old mentor, implying that Law's archetype is rotten at the root.

Marshal Law (Comic Book) / int_e5421161	comment	Expy: Marshal Law, in terms of both the character's personality and the wider nature of the comic, has some similarities to Judge Dredd, which Mills played an important role in creating. Indeed, the comic was originally intended as a Dredd rip-off before Mills decided to make into an aggressive satire on superheroes.

And even he's not that different from Law, being his old mentor, implying that Law's archetype is rotten at the root. O'Neill's art was conceived as a satire of Jack Kirby-influenced superhero art with huge, misshapen, excessively muscular heroes carrying gigantic weapons and ludicrously curvy, permapouting heroines in pornographically skimpy costumes. The style of Rob Liefeld and his imitators would subsequently do very similar things without any humorous intent. It also works as a Deconstruction of the Cape Busters comics that came after it. The cape busters in the aforementioned The Boys and Stormwatch: Team Achilles are generally heroic and have actual superpowers, which can lead to Broken Aesops since their comics revolve around the dangerous nature of superheroes, yet said cape busters are superheroes in all but name. On the other hand, Marshal Law acknowledges that he is a Hunter of His Own Kind. Not only that but Law is portrayed rather negatively and is sometimes called a fascist by the other characters, given his pseudo-Nazi costume and admitted obsession for brutalizing other superheroes; furthermore, Commissioner McGland, Law's superior, views Marshal Law as another tool to ensure the dystopian status quo of San Futuro. In short, despite Law's occupation as a cape buster, Marshal Law is part of the superhero problem rather than the solution to it.

While he has an unlimited license to kill supers and really hates most of them, he doesn't always act on it. One example was when he was asked why he doesn't wipe out the ultra-violent Gangreen, he mentions that if he did that there are nine other gangs waiting to fight over their turf. The resulting gangwar would make the Big One look like a day at the park.
