The American Way (Comic Book) | comment |
The American Way is a comic-book series created by John Ridley and Georges Jeanty and published by Wild Storm.In the 1940's, the US Government created the Civil Defense Corps, a team of "super-heroes", ostensibly intended to protect America from "super-villains" and "aliens". In reality, the CDC are all actors, as are their supposed enemies, and the real purpose of the team is propaganda. When one of the team's core members, Old Glory, dies in battle in the 60's and the team's management elects a black man to succeed him, the facade begins to unravel.A sequel, American Way: Those Above and Those Below, was released by Vertigo in 2017. | |

I Owe You My Life | |
The American Way (Comic Book) / int_1e4a1e0e | comment |
I Owe You My Life: Averted. Ole Miss asks Southern Cross to stop his lynching of Jason out of respect for all the times she used her powers (at the cost of her own health) to save him, after his stupidity got him killed. Cross responds that he would rather die than be a "race traitor". Soon after, this just gives her one more reason to let him die. | |

Engineered Heroics | |
The American Way (Comic Book) / int_2200d9ec | comment |
Engineered Heroics: Zig-zagged. When telling the truth of the CDC to a friend, Robert Kennedy stresses that every time the team saved people from a natural disaster or stopped some low-level crime, it was for real. However, every "alien invasion" or "super-villain attack" was all staged to show a minimum of property damage and no civilian deaths. When they have to fight a rogue member, the CDC is sloppy with their handlers noting they're so used to pre-planned fights that they don't know how to handle a real battle. | |

Ambiguously Human: While many of the CDC's members are just humans who have been artificially enhanced, others, like Freya and Mister Lucky, came by their powers naturally. Hellbent seems to be normal, albeit incredibly intelligent and sadistic, human; yet he is strong enough to injure Pharos. | |

The Man Behind the Man: Hellbent is believed to be a Boxed Crook that the CDC uses as a supervillain and assassin. But at some point before the series, he indoctrinated CDC Director Chett Sloan into his cult as part of a long term plan to trick the US government into nuking their own cities. | |

Cast of Expies | |
The American Way (Comic Book) / int_62ec4b15 | comment |
Cast of Expies: The comic book is not shy about exploring the darker aspects of modern superhero mythology/ideology through the use of Expy of American heroes: Pharos and Mighty Delta are expies of DC Comics Superman. Hellbent is very similar to The Joker. He is a nihilistic mass murder who manipulates the CDC into turning on each so that the government is forced to launch nukes at them. Which he then reveals to have been sabotaged so that they target several major cities instead. Southern Cross is a racist, stupider and villainous version of the Human Torch. Freya is a Wonder Woman Wannabe: an immortal, almost invulnerable warrior woman with ties to a real-world mythology (in her case, Nordic). | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Being a comic series set in the 60's and written by a black man, the series doesn't shy away from the racism of the era, with New American having to wear a costume that covers his face and body because many of his teammates are openly and virulently racist, and the CDC being split into northern and southern divisions because the southern-born members object to being on a team with a black man. | |

Treachery Cover Up: At the end of the first series, the government claims the events were caused by the CDC being mind controlled.

Hate Sink: Southern Cross, an obnoxious, openly proud racist and borderline psychopath and easily the worst of the Southern Defense Corps. Fittingly, he has David Duke's mustache. He's especially eager to murder Jason after Jason finally kills Hellbent, because it gives him a half-assed excuse to call killing Jason "Justice" for killing a white man even though said white man was a mass murdering cult leader and necrophiliac. Thankfully, Ole Miss leaves Cross to die when she rescues Jason from the impending explosion at the end of the series. The last shot of Cross is of him being reduced to a skeleton. | |

Wannabe Secret Agent: The Secret Agent, despite his name, does not actually work for any part of the US government's intelligence apparatus. He is on the team so that the public learns to associate secret agents with heroism so that they don't think too hard about what the real secret agents do. | |

Freya is a Wonder Woman Wannabe: an immortal, almost invulnerable warrior woman with ties to a real-world mythology (in her case, Nordic). | |
