Infamous 2 - Tumblr Posts

A lot of series have ripped off the "superpowered people as metaphor for oppressed groups" shtick from the X-Men but for my money the funniest thing anyone has ever done with it is Infamous 2 with its villain Bertrand, a southern god fearing fire and brimstone type who runs a militia of outrageously dumb redneck hicks with guns who want to hunt down all the mutants sorry "conduits" and keep the deviants out of their city. The twist being he is a conduit. In fact he made himself into one deliberately, expecting to become a glorious demigod and the real reason he's mad is because turns out his powers suck. He is the metaphorical equivalent of that guy who becomes violently homophobic because he craves dick but got no rizz.
