From then on the Soviet Union transferred some other countries to Communist countries and they have always had the mindset to become better than the United States, but as of today they have the strongest bomb known as the Tsar Bomba. Lastly, this relates to our simile because Superman is always in a competition with Batman meaning we want to know who is better out of the
