The Inspiration: Pushing Back Against the Excesses of a Development Boom Time and time again, San Francisco’s residents have been displaced by wealthy speculators. In its earliest days, the Missions and the Gold Rush all but destroyed of the native peoples of the Bay. Displacements continued with the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII, the clearing of vibrant African American districts shortly after the war, and then in an ongoing series of ?Tech Bubbles? that systematically forced out more and more people who lived and worked in the city. A number of cities around the world are coping with similar waves of speculative developers transforming working communities into gated luxury developments, and replacing essential local businesses into shuttered offices.

From Comic Book Movie –FAN ART: Real Life "Bad Guys" Reimagined As Comic Book Supervillains:
“
Says the artist..
“This series is an experiment where a dictator, a psycho, a murderer (sometimes they are the whole package) or even a suspicious figure from real life is mashed with a comics bad guy – strangely related some way or the other with his counterpart.
The depressing thing? Realizing that if the comic book supervillains were actually the ones threatening real life, the world wouldn’t be such a bad place.”
