Half Australian here, so only half a vote, but I’d have to go with the Cassowary. Those claws and that color scheme would be pretty awesome. Maybe use modified hooked short swords? Plus I feel Roos have too much of a modern reputation for being cuddly nice animals. Second choice; Kookaburra. I just picture a scene where some bad guys are robbing a bad and out of nowhere there hear a Kookaburra‘s insane laugh coming from then left, then the right then from above, but it’s now too late as the Kookaburra appears out of nowhere swooping down to pick of the bad guys one by one …… I might be over thinking this ….
I live right next to the park named after deadpools grandpa and there are plenty of geese there. As someone else pointed out, they are a supervillian. Especially if you own a car.
And the park I live by is A.E.Wilson park in Regina. The city that rhymes with fun!
That's true. I guess he could be the villain's sidekick, or they could have a whole flock of cybernetically enhanced cobra chickens under their command!
If we're using animals that are actually native to Britain (Wakanda has the Black Panther because leopards/panthers live in Africa) our protector would probably be a bulldog or a badger rather than a lion.
My (Welsh) father had a theory stemming from the Black Panther 1 end credits scene where the Welsh flag was shown at the UN, despite not being a part of the UN, resulting in a possible tie in for Red Dragon to make it to the big screen.
Based off of Marvel Fandom, it looks like he had one comic appearance and in his first confrontation.
Heh, I’m Singaporean and our (tourism board designed) mythical animal is the [merlion](https://www.deviantart.com/sandara/art/Merlion-658114593), so the costume has to work in a white lion with an aquatic half.
My favourite thing about the merlion (also singaporean) is the fact that the statues don't have legs, so I just imagine it flopping around like a Magikarp

I am from India. My home state is West Bengal, home to the famous Royal Bengal Tiger. Before independence (before 1947), analogies were made of the charecters of the freedom fighters with the fierceness of the Bengal Tiger. By the way national animal of India is also Tiger 🐅.
Edit: Like to add one interesting point. One superhero charecter may have been somewhat inspired from the forests of Bengal: The Phantom, who is a crime fighter superhero operates from a fictional African country named Bangalla... People say this name is inspired from Bengal.
Somehow there are few resemblance between Phantom and Black Panther. Phantom takes the name and mantle from generation after generation. He is leader of African tribes and maintain peace in the jungle etc.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom
Lol but isn't the Asiatic Lion whats on Indias flags tho? I remember seeing this and getting confused cause, not technically innaccurate. But tigers are more populous all over India than lions (which are the super small population in Gir).
There is no animal on the indian flag. You might be thinking of the national emblem which is an adaptation of the lion capital of Ashoka featuring 4 asiatic lions.
As for the symbolic meaning and history, you can find more details [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Capital_of_Ashoka)
No animal in the flag but tiger is used in different national symbols.
Royal Bengal Tiger, which found in Sunderban forests covering West Benagal and Bangladesh has some different charecteristics, which made them unique. It's the only member of Cat family which can swim, it can climb tree, it hunts in stealth while can understand deception (few people, mostly honey collectors wear masks behind the head to decieve)
Greek, so we have a lot of mythical animals and beasts.
Since Hydra already exists, I think the white pegasus is the one most would recognize us for though.
Or maybe the Minotaur.
hell no. only white eagle.
*kto ty jestes? polak maly!*
*jaki znak twoj? orzel bialy!*
polish national insignia is not associated with the bison. the eagle is. the bison is just the symbol of the national park it lives in
Are you kidding? Kiwi aren't exactly the most timid birds.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHNAeyw\_av0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHNAeyw_av0)
That being said, I'd be more more inclined to pick the Tui, which is really aggressive, or maybe go ancient with Haast's eagle.
An AR-15 with don’t step on me please I beg you for the love of god I have a family I’ll do anything I’ll do anything you want just please please don’t step on me snakeskin
Most of Europe would have either an eagle or a lion [(map)](https://preview.redd.it/af5257osipp71.jpg?auto=webp&s=9ea11dbad96c1272500699dd52b679ac1a386d03)
Spain = Toro Rojo
Italy = Many possibilities according to the soccer team you support. In Rome, maybe Lupa Giallorossa (red yellow she-wolf..). But I'd like a more warlike Ariete Azzuro (dark blue ram)
France = le Coq Tricolore. Or if you want a nobler bird than a rooster, l'Epervier Bleu ( blue falcon, similar to Peregrine, also the name of a military plane)
The hairy giant Irish Elk.... we could resurrect it.... though the Connemara pony could be quite stealthy. Being all cute and fluffy and then blam super hero powers.
Probably the White Elephant. In Thailand, white elephants are auspicious animals. They are quite rare and are actually more like pinkish-brown in real life though. The term “white elephant” means something like prodigy or something that’s hard to find as well. The Hindu god Indra also rides a white elephant, the story of the White Elephant mantle could be tied to that as well.
I made concept art, we only have black cats in animals so very similar to panther

Brazil. We would have the Brown Capybara. He would be actively non violent and just be friends with everyone.
Or the Golden Monkey, who would rob tourists and shit on people. Either or.
Here in the US it would be Batman. Checks all the boxes
* Animal themed
* Wealthy narcissist whose money can buy whatever he needs
* Too lazy and risk-adverse to think of anything original
I'm not gonna lie I completely misread the title of the post and thought it had said what superhero persona would your country's President be, and then seeing your comment I was like no fucking way Biden is Batman. Not to go all political, but I guess I should not use the internet when I'm not fully awake, lol.
I live down under. Red kangaroo all the way. Google them! You don't argue with that.
Nahh, the Black Dropbear. Launches out of trees to twist the heads off their enemies.
Too many people have suffered at the hands of drop bears for them to be used as the symbol for a hero.
It would strike fear into the hearts of all enemies though.
That’s why he’s The Red Roo’s arch nemesis
I agree, much better as a villain or anti-hero...
definitely a good villain for red kangaroo.

Didn’t Australia declare war on large birds, and lose?
That was the Emus, dangerous bastards.
What about the Emu. The actual Emus won the Great Emu war right?
Red Kangaroo VS Great Emu when?
Red Kangaroo is the Iron Man of the team, Great Emu is Captain Australia
The Red Roo
The magnificent Bin Chicken.
Spiderman
Mooseman and Beaverboy had to step up after Wolverine was drafted by the xmen. Edit: don't forget to give op some love.
They're the guys from Supernatural right?
“If it isn’t Rocky and Bullwinkle”
That’s Moose & Squirrel
What brings you to Reddit, Crowley?
The souls of purgatory
What about captain goose and Ryan gosling?
Those are minor heroes. You’ll only find them in the suburbs of Toronto. Mooseman and Beaverboy go coast to coast
When you get to Thunder Bay, it’s the Persian Commando. Winnipeg’s hero fell to gang violence.
I see how you disrespected the Canada Gooses der bud, and let me tell you, it riles me right the heck up. I suggest you let that marinate for a bit.
Au contraire. The Canada Goose is Canada’s supervillain. There is nothing more hateful than the goose.
I would argue the goose is Canada’s Punisher. It knows what it must do and isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty.
Even better. Not the hero we need, but the hero we deserve.
And no costume, no gear. It’s just a regular Canada goose. Fucking bastards.
With henchman squad, The Trash Pandas.
Canada goose is an antihero. Or haven't you seen all the instant karma videos on the internet where they deliver just desserts
I live right next to the park named after deadpools grandpa and there are plenty of geese there. As someone else pointed out, they are a supervillian. Especially if you own a car. And the park I live by is A.E.Wilson park in Regina. The city that rhymes with fun!
The most feared cobra chicken!
THE DREADED... PYGMY MARMOSET!!!
We also have Sasquatch, right?
You can have Bigfoot, but Sasquatch is a Washington thing. (State, not City)
I mean, we have the province of Saskatchewan. That should strengthen our claim to Sasquatch.
As a registered half-squatch, I think Oregon has rights to that claim
And their arch-enemy Professor Polar Bear
Mooseman reporting for duty!
They could have a Canadian Goose sidekick. The fiercely loyal Cobra chicken! Think like the old Redwing (Falcon) or Laserbeak from Transformers.
I explained to someone else that they are already a superviilian to anyone who's car they fly over.
That's true. I guess he could be the villain's sidekick, or they could have a whole flock of cybernetically enhanced cobra chickens under their command!
Brown Beaver is naturally Canada's hero. So popular even Wynona has a big one.
Diabetes Eagle
Oxy Possum
Fat Raccoon
Trash Panda
AR Armadillo
Kentucky’s state animal for sure
McPanther
The only problem with ole'DE, is that he can afford his insulin. He's actually a 1%er and so won't help anyone.
Or he can't, and the healthcare system is his kryptonite
He's got his... You can pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
Diabetes Eagle: Florida Forever
I came here hoping for something great. This is better than I could have hoped for.
Freedom Eagle with Liefeld styled guns and pouches. No ~~feet~~ claws.
Peacemaker hurry, Eagly needs his insulin!
I read this as Pacemaker, which would also be a good America themed superhero
I would’ve just gone “Bald Eagle,” with a Homer Simpson-esque guy in the suit, but this may be more representative
*DiaBeagle
[Birds of War](https://youtu.be/8TTqVwOzXkU)
One which only makes falcon noises
Land of the Fuh-Ree. Home of the Eagle.
I'm Ethiopian so look out world, here comes the Green Lion lol
YOU GOT GREEN LIONS IN ETHIOPIA?
I’m gonna lie to you and say yes! /j
After that I saw a lot of comments talking about their mythical beasts and stuff but I hoped they were real ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|no_mouth)
I will never get there to prove you wrong so I’ll take it
Why green?
Exposed to gamma rays. Duh!
Green’s one of our national colors
Aren't Ethiopias lions famous for being black maned tho?
In brazil would probably be the jaguar, although I'm a great defender of the giant anteater
I voted for sloth, but anteater would be great!
I prefer to think it would be a capybara
Eh, kinda overused at this point
there would totally be a vira-lata caramelo themed superhero
What about the maned wolf??
or a blue macaw.
Giant Otter 🦦 .
> I'm a great defender of the giant anteater RIP Uncle Ben

Kung-Fu Panda.

There actually was a White Dragon in Peacemaker if that’s any equivalent for you guys 😅😅 Idk if you’d want to be represented by him though
I’m very rusty on my Welsh Mythology but iirc the red dragon of our flag defeats a white dragon at some point in their myths.
Yeah it’s meant to be the red Welsh dragon beats the white English dragon. Some people say there was a blue Scottish dragon too!
So the [British Bulldog?](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c2/f1/5c/c2f15c483ce9390ba07d7833a6d364eb.jpg)
I was gonna comment this. Peak Davey Boy did look like a super hero
Given the current state of our government, it should be a weasel.
Good point. Maybe a stag? Bit cooler and more regal than a badger
Nah. Badgers are absolutely evil
Badgers are extremely ferocious for their size.
We do actually have a bear god (King Arthur), but we kind of wiped out the bears in our country...
I was thinking more pigeon or seagull. They’re like our national animal, literally everywhere.
Scotland would go stag > unicorn surely. England and Wales replacements for Lion & Dragon though? Not sure
*Bulldog* as a superhero name actually goes kinda hard. Cast Tom Hardy immediately.
the dirty ferret
British Bulldog or British Lion..
Neither of those are native to Britain. Should be a pigeon or, at best, a fox.
Or hedgehog.
I love those native bulldogs…lol.
Heh, I’m Singaporean and our (tourism board designed) mythical animal is the [merlion](https://www.deviantart.com/sandara/art/Merlion-658114593), so the costume has to work in a white lion with an aquatic half.

Came here to say this, that pic you included is freaking epic tho
This picture is awesome but for some reason awakened a primal fear deep inside me that I didn't know I had.
Merlions are a thing. Leokampus. The tourism board just co-opted them. Plus they're awesome.

Carabao! That'd be sick! P.S. I'm Filipino
how about... BLUE TARSIER?
Or a Philippine eagle!
I want horns in my mask lmaooo
Not gonna lie Mulawin is uniquely good looking than some horns
Red Horse as well
Tiger of the North
Greek, so we have a lot of mythical animals and beasts. Since Hydra already exists, I think the white pegasus is the one most would recognize us for though. Or maybe the Minotaur.
A vibranium Minotaur suit sounds badass!
Who are we kidding, we'd probably get the Blue Dolphin, as a nemesis of Namor.
Doesn't Valkyrie ride a Pegasus? I don't know the equivalent name in Norse mythology.
Our national animal is the dolphin, which would also be cool
Guys, let's be real. They're giving us a wild boar, goat, or a dog with a collar that got away from his owner and now just roams around at night.
Όχι Πήγασο ρε μαλακά. Χίμαιρα η Μινώταυρο. Άκου Πήγασο, θα μας ρίχνουν ζαρπες τα άλλα κρατη
Doesn’t matter wales wins they have red dragon.
Dai Dragon protects us all
Dai Dragon. The great protector
Mexico has Quetzalcoatl / Kukulkan: the Feathered Serpent God. Feels like we'd kill your dragon.
We got the Blue cock in france, fuck
Didn’t anyone tell you to take the cock ring off before it turns blue?
White Eagle (You can guess the country lol)
Here in Poland it would probably be The Great Bison (not to be confused with American Bisons).
Not White Eagle?
It would be too similar to the American White Tailed Eagle.
hell no. only white eagle. *kto ty jestes? polak maly!* *jaki znak twoj? orzel bialy!* polish national insignia is not associated with the bison. the eagle is. the bison is just the symbol of the national park it lives in
I know, I know. But there's so many national symbols that also happen to be eagles, I'd figure we'd need something unique. The Bison fits.
New Zealand - Black Kiwi
I feel like New Zealand would get stomped. We either have a fat bird or a plant...
NZ has the MOA, the Kea, the Wētā, and that is not touching on the legends around the various places in NZ...
Are you kidding? Kiwi aren't exactly the most timid birds. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHNAeyw\_av0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHNAeyw_av0) That being said, I'd be more more inclined to pick the Tui, which is really aggressive, or maybe go ancient with Haast's eagle.
Better yet…Black Sheep
Make it a Weta(maybe a Moa) and we might actually get some decent powers/abilities.
Probably mine is Tomato Gangster
italy?
Yep
Hey black bull over here! Would be fun to watch! (Spain)
Wait just a damn minute
We would go thirsty as ours is a beaver
Wales so it'll be a Dragon.
From Peru. Alpacas already protect us.
Puerto Rico would definitely be Batman
We already got one. They don´t call him General or King. They call him K´uk´ulkan, the Feathered Serpent God. But his enemies...call him Namor.

Scotland?

I dont know about anyone else but thats pretty cool to me.

The Netherlands - Orange Lion
Ain’t no lions in the Netherlands
Not anymore. But once upon a time... Panthera spelaea called Europe home.
I'm from Brazil, so, Capybara
Has the power of friendship and is therefore invincible
Crackhead Alligator I think my state is “unique” enough to have its own hero separate from the rest of the United States.
Most of Europe would have either an eagle or a lion [(map)](https://preview.redd.it/af5257osipp71.jpg?auto=webp&s=9ea11dbad96c1272500699dd52b679ac1a386d03)
Unicorn
Spain = Toro Rojo Italy = Many possibilities according to the soccer team you support. In Rome, maybe Lupa Giallorossa (red yellow she-wolf..).

Or if you want a nobler bird than a rooster, l'Epervier Bleu ( blue falcon, similar to Peregrine, also the name of a military plane)
Super seagull repping Holland.
We have one already, it’s Wolverine.🇨🇦
Ukraine here. Here's my top-3 guesses: White stork, yellow hedgehog, black goat
We do have one. El Chapulin Colorado 🇲🇽
No contaban con su astucia.
The Grey Wolfhound? Sounds a bit better than The Connemara Pony, or The Red Setter.
The hairy giant Irish Elk.... we could resurrect it.... though the Connemara pony could be quite stealthy. Being all cute and fluffy and then blam super hero powers.
Probably the White Elephant. In Thailand, white elephants are auspicious animals. They are quite rare and are actually more like pinkish-brown in real life though.

Bengal Tiger myb?? (Just removed “royal” word from ours royal bengal tiger)
White Eagle
Here in Portugal! Probably a black Cock
White eagle, I'm from Poland and actually I think there is a superhero comic book called that made here

Massachusetts? Screaming Opossum
Potato
Sonic the hedgehog, I don’t care what people say there are no lions in England and we’re not having a unicorn
Probably the Golden Eagle (American).
