Narendra Modi, Arvind Kejriwal, Rahul Gandhi – their superhero alter-egos!

Our politicians aren’t very different from comic superheroes. All of them have larger-than-life personalities, the ability to inspire awe and at times incredulity and can wreak havoc on our lives with their whims and fancies. So while #MufflerMan continues to trend on Twitter, we imagine what our leaders would be like, if they were superheroes:

1-Arvind Kejriwal (Superhero name: Muffler Man)

Is he a hero we need or deserve? Muffler Man was born when a corrupt political system’s incessant greed finally got on the nerves of the middle class. Bothered by deep moral issues and has a back-story that’d gladden Batman!

Superpowers: Supersonic screech, omniscience (which instantly lets him know where corruption is taking place) and ability to garner 24/7 media attention.

Likes and Dislikes: Loves brooms, hates everything else!

2-Narendra Modi (Superhero Name: Darth NaMo)

A young tea boy who rose to the highest post of the land, he is the Chosen One who is going to bring balance to the force.

Superpowers: Super-skilled oratorical skills, extremely persuasive and ability to turn people into mindless zombies or NaMo trolls.

Likes and Dislike: Loves development and order, hates dissenters!

3-Rahul Gandhi (Superhero Name: The Illusionist)

The boy with the Golden Spoon, who has no idea what he is going to do or say, but still manages to retain some blind faith from his loyalists.

Superpowers: A master illusionist, he can create hallucinations which make some people believe that he is an able leader!

Likes and Dislikes: Loves high-end physics and mum, hates giving speeches.

4-Mamata Banerjee (Superhero Name: The Dissenter)

When Bruce Banner gets angry he becomes the Hulk and when the Hulk becomes angry, he becomes Mamata Banerjee. Seriously, you don’t want to anger her!

Superpowers: Anger issues which make erupt in a volcanic rage that makes her blame everything on the CPM and Maoists.

Likes and Dislikes: Loves Rabindrasangeet, hates cartoons and all other political parties!

5-Akhilesh Yadav (Superhero Name: Tech Man)

India’s answer to Tony Stark, except for the genius, billionaire, playboy and philanthropist bit. Was supposed to bring new hope to the biggest state in the land after overthrowing the Statue Lover but turned out to be a chip of the old block.

Superpowers: Doesn’t have any innate powers but uses technology to fight crime garner attention!

Likes and Dislikes: Loves Bollywood and hates questions, journalists and riot victims.

6-Shashi Tharoor (Superhero Name: Agent 069 AKA The Loud Mouth)

One of the most unique superheroes, he spent time in his youth as a secret agent in the mould of James Bond (when he was at the UN). After handing in his secret agent badge, Agent 069 spent time fighting crime by writing books that puts everyone to sleep.

Superpowers: Ability to say the right thing at the wrong time to the wrong people, writing super pseudo-intellectual nonsense, extremely popular with the ladies!

Likes and Dislikes: Loves women, books and writing, hates the next superhero.

7-Subramaniam Swamy (Superhero Name: Subacca)

Arch-rival of Agent 069, Subacca is extremely similar to the Star Wars character Chewbacca. They both make a lot of noise which is understood by a select few and are extremely devoted to their partner/leader.

Superpowers: Super-strength, makes random noises, sees anti-Hindu propaganda everywhere and extremely loyal to his master.

Likes and Dislikes: Loves all things Hindu, dislikes logic and Agent 069.

Superpowers: Ability to consume vast amounts without feeling any ill-effects.

Likes and Dislikes: Loves fodder, hates jail.

9-Robert Vadra (Superhero Name: The Serious Guy)

Brother-in-law of The Illusionist, The Serious Guy loves to get angry when journalists ask him questions. Also has insane money-making capacity and ability to charm women, without having any charm-worthy qualities.

Superpowers: Makes money appear out of thin air.
