comic book universes should, in no way, mirror the real world Well, in a way, that is their job. (But maybe I've just taken one too many lit. course.)
But, yeah. The Marvel & DC universes have dealt with superhumans and *aliens* for the last (however many decades they've decided on the latest recon) and tend to have entirely different *countries* than we do, and so cannot really support the same terrorist systems and plots. Different ones, hell yeah, because otherwise there'd be nothing to buy every week. And also, the DCU has people like Superman and Wonder Woman and etc. in it, so it would be very stupid even to *try* throwing an airplane at America.
I... think I've spent too much time thinking about this.
