What happens when Marvel characters contest Indian elections? Maharashtra’s civic polls just got their most entertaining twist yet — courtesy AI-generated reels that drop global superheroes straight into local politics. Thanos speaks like a seasoned neta. Tony Stark fires back with campaign flair. Spider-Man insists he is just a common man. All of it feels absurd — yet disturbingly familiar. Created as satire, these reels have crossed millions of views and sparked conversations far beyond Maharashtra. With no abuse, no targeting, just razor-sharp observation, AI is emerging as a powerful tool for political humour and commentary.
