Huh. Here's something interesting. My first thought was "That's Hitler!" but google reverse image search tells me that is actually Hitler's father. Now it might just be their image matching algorithms making a mistake, family members do tend to look similar, but going for the father, who is less well known and has less images, over the son, who is well Hitler, seems a bit odd for it to be an error.

Oh, darn it! I was looking for a Hitler picture! Ugh, have to fix that later.

"There was some pretty racist stuff up to the late sixties. After that it just got kinda pathetic. These days you get mixed race relationships on screen without anyone really caring."

Guess that with things like superheroes/villains around influencing things that race issues became less of a thing.

If anything people would focus more on making divides between normal and metahumans for one reason or another.
 
"No. i'm not bloody hitler!"
"umm, dna scan says..."
"Oh i'm his clone, I just really hate the fucker."
"I'm guessing there is a story there?"
"not much of one, turns out nazis make shitty parents and recovering a soul from hell is harder than cloning a dead man. Now if you excuse me, I have an art show to put on."
 
So I'm doubting this guy is actually Hitler. Clone, relative with an uncanny resemblance, something else entirely, either way it's probably not actually him. But if it is him, what would Paul actually do about it? Turn him over to Germany? If I were in Paul's shoes I'd probably just kill him. Because while he may deserve it, a government torturing someone to death is never a good thing.

Actually, what would Germany do if they got their hands on a clone of Hitler? A clone who's never committed a crime in his life? Would they go after him? Would the Justice League be forced to help the Hitler clone?

This is super fucked up but also really interesting to think about.
 
Are you sure it isn't the actual Helmut Schreiber . . . Waffen-SS Sturmbannführer and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross? (And Close Combat Clasp in Gold.)

You wouldn't even have to extend his life by much. He made it to 2008 before he died.

Still . . . In all seriousness . . . I was able to immediately guess that that was a picture of Hitler. I've seen that picture before. Someone wanted to see if people could still recognize him without his mustache, so they used photoshop to get rid of it and added color to what was previously a black and white image. Then they uploaded it to one of those hot or not sites.

I'd assume most people didn't recognize him, as he got a lot more hots than nots.

Oh, and if he actually is Hitler and got turned over to Germany? Probably have to deal with Israel flying off the handle. Would be kind of funny if they had to fight off an assassination attempt by Mossad or something.

If this is Hitler, the political fallout is going to be huge. If this is a clone of Hitler, and he's a good person, Paul should have him Dannered and propose Justice League takes him on as a member. Becauae a superhero Hitler clone would definitely send a mesaage of tolerance, and would break a lot of neo-nazism groups.
 
I'm reminded of the UK Law and Order episodes (had already seen the US serieseses).

First I was surprised at the number of mixed-race relationships that weren't involved in the crimes. Not even mentioned or suspected.

Then I was surprised that I was surprised.
