I find this really really annoying. Not just because it's tasteless and dumb slop - but because casting yourself as the hero of every story people are interested in subverts any kind of implicit criticism that might result from the contrast between the hero and the people the writers might be criticising. Imagine, for example, he did the same thing with The Boys which was very very clearly making fun of him and his anticts and ambitions and such - imagine he claimed the same right to co-opt that and rendered himself as Billy Butcher taking down "the deep state" or some bullshit. It's a form of ambient propaganda where he subverts free speech by recasting himself as the hero of all and any story whether or not he has a right to. Maybe it's just parody and for giggles but I don't think so.
