Marvel CEO Isaac Perlmutter is under hot water recently, after news broke out that he donated $1 million to Donald Trump.

But before people can light their torches and grab their pitchforks, it would be fair to clarify that Perlmutter did not directly donate to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, but on his event intended to raise funds for wounded war veterans.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a representative for Perlmutter said that, "The Perlmutters are thrilled to support their friend Donald Trump in his efforts to help veterans."

Trump headed the fundraiser for vets when he announced last month that he will ditch the Republican presidential debate due to the fact that Fox News' Megyn Kelly would be moderating the event.

It was reported by the All Media NY that the Perlmutters contributed about one sixth of the total amount raised that night. During the event, Trump personally thanked the Marvel CEO from the podium and was gracious in giving him compliments calling him, "one of the great, great men of our country in terms of business and talent."

But apart from donating to Donald Trump's fundraiser, Perlmutter also donated $2 million to Marco Rubio's campaign this season.

It's a bit peculiar that Marvel Comics, in which majority of its readers fall to the liberal or progressive category, has a CEO being associated with the Republican Party.

What makes it even stranger is that Marvel even made in the past, a comic book villain named Trump, which was described as an "amoral showman with a wig-like hair" -- a dead ringer for the mogul-turned-politician.

According to Remezcla, Trump is also painted as a "xenophobic" and even "racist" particularly to Latinos, so Marvel being connected to him may be seen as an anomaly.

Over the past few years, Marvel have been working hard on incorporating diversity and tackling social issues such as racism and homophobia in its comics.

In fact, Marvel's Editor-in-Chief, Axel Alonso, is Latino as his father is Mexican. Under him, comic book fans witnessed Spider-Man, the company's most iconic superhero, become Miles Morales -- an Afro-Latino.

Apart from comic books, racially diverse superheroes in movies is on the rise as well. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, three are prominent African-Americans, which were Falcon, War Machine and Black Panther.

Groot, although portrayed in the comics and in the movies as of alien-origin, is voiced by popular mix-raced actor, Vin Diesel.

But perhaps it all boils down to this simple notion that CEO Isaac Perlmutter's personal political views does not represent the company's values.
