** Prez is this issue 4. He builds funds a canal in Moravia. However, the ambassador of Transylvania reveals the canal is draining water from Transylvania. Instead of looking into the matter, Prez just callously ignores the plight of the Transylvanians. Then when the President of Transylvania [[spoiler: Dracula]] tries to get revenge by dropping a plane full of infected bats on the country, Prez tries to have the entire country bombed. Naturally Congress stops him, which is presented as a bad thing, instead of it being presented as congress stopping an insane war crime.

** Furthermore, while Prez's action can be questionable, the general idea of federal government assuming more power over individuals--especially in counter-terrorism--being shown positively not have fared well in post-9/11 era.

* ValuesDissonance: The ambassador of China is portrayed as a yellowish skinned man who plays ping pong (a national stereotype of Chinese at the time). Also, Eagle Free is rather stereotypical from a modern perspective.

** Or as a cameo in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''.

** A BlinkAndYouMissIt example occurs in the third issue. Eagle Free mentions how he sent government agents to infiltrate the Washington Minutemen. However, this is ''before'' they do anything illegal. Not helping matter is the fact no one calls him out on this.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Given the fact Prez and his administration do morally ambiguous things (such as inserting spies into political organizations solely because they have a different political view than the president and Prez's treatment of the Transylvanians), one could view Prez as a KnightTemplar VillainProtagonist (or at least an AntiHero).
