It's the reverse, actually. Story writers modeled super villains after these people.

    And they modeled their heroes on their crooked world view.

    Exit: for everyone that doesn't get what I'm saying, Hollywood is filled with crypto libertarians. Marvel's Infinity War/Endgame was about an evil environmentalist vs the good guy billionaire who could have solved climate change while he was taking a shit, but choose to punch bad guys instead. Kingsman is an even more extreme example Neo libertarian morality tale. And whenever a pro environment movie comes out, audiences always hate it. Shows how effective their propaganda is.

    True. Success in Hollywood requires a certain personality type that heavily favors liberalism. The rags to riches ones suddenly believe that all it takes is talent and can't cope with the reality that luck was a major factor in their success and that they could never be in the gutter again.

    If we're bringing up literature though, the first Harry Potter book was ok, but certain personality traits of the author started getting amplified with her Rock Star like success. Harry was much more charitable in the first book compared later ones.
