Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is facing criticism after stumbling over an answer to what might have seemed like a perfectly innocuous question: who’s your favorite Marvel superhero?

Speaking to a Las Vegas audience that had just sat through an hourlong policy discussion at the Libre Institute, the former Florida governor first named Batman, who, it should be noted, is a DC Comics hero.

“I’m kind of old school,” he said. “I kind of like the old-school guys, like Batman.”

He then moved on to Supergirl, who is the subject of an upcoming CBS series starring Glee actor Melissa Benoist. Supergirl, too, is a DC Comics character.

“Supergirl is on TV – I saw that when I was working out this morning,” he said. “She looked pretty hot. I don’t know what channel it’s on, but I’m looking forward to that.”

1. Kinda pervy, there, Jeb!

Don't you have a daughter? Stick to your own age group, dude. That shit's embarrassing. Really.

[PeteSelman]

2. Oh come on.

She is pretty hot.

You're going to kill the guy for that when there's so much substantive shit to get him on?

5. I avoid calling women hot on this site, because it won't take long before I'd be called a

mysognist.

[PeteSelman]

12. Yeah, gods forbid you find someone attractive.

It's because of nonsense like that why I don't post here much anymore. This was a much cooler site back in the day. DI is much more lively now.

[JRLeft]

13. Too much censorship here.

We as members need to lighten up a little.

3. I wonder what he would make of Powergirl

Earth 2's version of Supergirl with the middle of her costume missing.

8. Meh.

Princess Koriand'r a/k/a Starfire from the New Titans. At least as drawn by the Great George Perez. I'm old school.

11. Dick Grayson was a lucky man

Still I preferred Raven myself.

14. The notorious boob window.

This blog deals with the absurdity of the costumes of female super hero and warrior characters:

4. Will she keep you safe?

Just asking...

[Bucky]

6. not even slightly creepy

If a Democrat had said this, you'd've shrugged.

Find something real to talk about.

15. If Biden said it, it would be "aww, so cute"

"Uncle Joe is so cool" "BFD"

7. Mountain ... meet molehill .

Hate him for his policy , hate him for what he represents , but don't try to turn a normal observation into something it isn't . Is this truly the stage we are at that even what would be considered average in a normal conversation is somehow creepy because you don't like the person saying it ?

This is probably the only thing Jeb! and I will ever agree on .

[Initech]

9. I probably should put a sarcasm tag there.

I just think it's weird that given the age in which we live where there's a new superhero movie or TV every week that the first thing he went to is who looks the hottest.

[JaneyVee]

10. So presidential.
