Jordan Peterson Says He Inspired the Villain in Ta-Nehisi Coates’ ‘Captain America’ Comic
Jordan Peterson, the conservative psychology professor and podcast host, has claimed on Twitter that he’s inspired the villain Red Skull featured in Ta-Nehisi Coates’ run of “Captain America” comics.In “Captain America Volume 9 #28,” which was released by Marvel Comics on March 31, Red Skull preaches his “Ten Rules for Life” as well as “Chaos and Order” and “The Feminist Trap.” This appears to reference Peterson’s self-help book “12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos” released in 2018, and Peterson’s contention that “chaos is represented by the feminine.”Late on Monday, Peterson posted screenshots of the “Captain American” issue, asking his followers to verify his suspicion that he was the inspiration for Red Skull in its story.
