Commander Capitalism

Commander Capitalism is a superhero appearing in Image Comics' Capes, a series set in a world teeming with costumed figures such as Bolt, Kid Thor, and Titan. His patriotically charged name suggests an ideologically themed hero operating within this ensemble cast.

A product of Robert Kirkman and Mark Englert's Modern Age imagination, Commander Capitalism burst onto the Image Comics scene in 2003 with the debut of Capes — a series that has kept this character in print across a remarkable two-plus decades. With a name as bold and on-the-nose as any in comics, Commander Capitalism shares the page with a colorful roster including Bolt, Kid Thor, and Titan, suggesting a world richly populated with larger-than-life figures. Seven catalog appearances may make this a deep-cut discovery, but for fans of Kirkman's expansive creator-owned universe, that's exactly the kind of hidden gem worth hunting down.
