Yes. Sometimes they fight fascism but even then it is only ever to protect liberalism. Other times they are just the fascists themselves.

I could go through a list of them and why they are cops but instead I will just point out that the only communist characters in comic books are always villains and that should tell you everything you need to know.

    only communist characters in comic books are always villains.

    The only major exception that I can think of is The Doctor from Doctor Who when they met Stalin. It was an old-ass episode^[It was in the short story Closing the Account] where they told Stalin that he would be vilified, but in in the end everyone would see he did the right thing despite his mistakes.

    Still, not a superhero comic book story.
