The role of reality warpers in comics has been as heroes and villains'. Beings with the power to bend the very cosmos to their will are a constant threat to all we know. While those that seek to bend reality in the real world wield microphones and gavels and not Infinity Gauntlets, they are no less able to make us doubt all that we know. In this episode we will take on the blatant attempts to remake our history, alter our present and control the future of our democracy as we know it.
In my heart, I knew you still cared. But one ever knows for sure. Reality is often disappointing .That is, it was. Now, reality can be whatever I want."
― Thanos
