Writer and social commentator Ta-Nehisi Coates, whom Marvel hired in 2015 to write the Black Panther comics, is the current Captain America series’ author. While Coates hasn’t acknowledged Peterson as the inspiration for Cap’s nemesis, the similarities are too on-the-nose to be mere coincidence.
Coates’ Red Skull is an information-age pied piper for disaffected young men whose mind-warping viral videos convert a legion of disciples ready to wreak havoc upon his command. That’s not a far cry from the bad-faith critiques of Peterson’s work that persist despite thorough debunkings.
