It wasn't uncommon for superheroes to be used as propaganda during World War II and while adults were targeted through posters and shorts shown before movies, American children were targeted through comic books. These superheroes embodied the ideal virtues of American soldiers and demonstrated the courage and resolve needed to fight evil during World War II, things that went hand-in-hand with comic book storytelling.
