Ronald Reagan is clearly to television what Franklin Roosevelt was to radio.

Franklin Roosevelt was very concerned about environmental issues.

FDR’s struggle with illness and subsequent metal-filled life are remarkably similar to the story of another great leader who was part robot: Iron Man. FDR, much like Tony Stark, was cocky and arrogant before his life-changing diagnosis, but the years of suffering changed all of that, and he emerged more humble, more fearless, and ready to defend America. Also, FDR wore iron braces and used a wheelchair, which, for the purposes of this comparison, is exactly like a well-armed robot suit.

Franklin Roosevelt was a great leader. He saw how to use the levers of power to affect change.
