Did you watch in disbelief as GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump prevailed over his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the presidential election Tuesday night? You’re not alone — even those with superpowers had trouble digesting the news.
As half of America licked its wounds in a post-election hangover on Wednesday, the Internet gifted them with a little bit of humor to help the bitter pill go down, in a mash-up of superheroes reacting to The Donald’s ascendancy to the White House.
In the video, no fewer than three different big-screen Batmen (in the forms of Michael Keaton, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck) and two Supermen (Henry Cavill and Christopher Reeve) look on with concern as Trump is declared president-elect.
Perhaps they’re pondering whether they have a new super-villain on their hands?
Captain America (Chris Evans) has the last word in the compilation, declaring, “OK, that’s enough” just before the screen goes dark — though Evans himself had much stronger words about the election on Tuesday night.
Dejected voters, assemble — and watch the video.
All 12 Superheroes in 'Captain America: Civil War,' Ranked (Photos)
We ranked all the enhanced humans in "Captain America: Civil War." There's 12 of 'em, which is more people than I know in real life. If you want jokes about how susceptible to peer pressure the Winter Soldier is, you're in the right place.

12. War Machine Not nearly as much fun as when he was called Iron Patriot in "Iron Man 3," probably because he has to spend most of this movie standing in political solidarity with Tony Stark instead of constantly busting his balls.
Marvel
11. Iron Man Tony Stark doesn't have kids, but he's definitely treating the rest of the Avengers like they're his rebellious preteen offspring here. Come on, Tony, lighten up.
Marvel
10. Vision What a goofball, walking through walls when he should be using doors. He kind of spends the whole movie being an overprotective dad to Scarlet Witch, though. Not cool, robot man.
Marvel
9. Hawkeye Actually a dad, Hawkeye disappointed his kids by skipping out on the family vacation to participate in the superhero royal rumble. At least he acknowledges it.
Marvel
8. Winter Soldier Doesn't really know what's going on, is constantly being emo, and is susceptible to peer pressure in a big way. Sounds like somebody needs to have a talk with him.
Marvel
7. Scarlet Witch Accidentally blows up a building to kick off the central conflict of "Civil War." Whoops. As always, teenagers have to learn important life lessons the hard way. She's not really a teenager this is just a metaphor.
Marvel
6. Captain America Remember that time Captain America was totally wrong about something? Oh wait, that never happened ever. And yet 117 different countries are giving him a hard time here. Sure, let's trust Tony "my bad dreams almost made me destroy the world" Stark instead.
Marvel
5. Black Widow She's Captain America's BFF, or is she? She's #TeamIronMan, or is she? Honestly, "I'm not sure which side to go with here" is probably the right call for most of these secondary folks. She could be nicer to Falcon's robot bird, though.
Marvel
4. Falcon He's got a remote control robot bird to play with this time, and it's awesome. I retroactively like "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" less now because of its lack of the robot bird.
Marvel
3. Black Panther He's a superhero who's super pissed off andmanages to hold his own both in combat and as a screen presence against all these other people we've had around for a bunch of movies. No small feat, that.
Marvel
2. Spider-Man Does not take this superhero melee seriously at all. On the other hand, he is actually a child so we can give him a pass. Also, he's really funny. If he wasn't behind on his homework, he might have had a shot at the top spot.
Marvel
1. Ant-Man Just pops up in the middle of this super dramatic movie and just refuses to say anything with a serious tone. And yet he manages to play probably the most key role of any member of #TeamCap during the big showdown. He's the best and there's really no debating this.

Marvel’s ”Civil War“ has so many superheroes in it that they can’t all be cool
