Washington: Donald Trump has officially become a villain! Not literally, but as a comic-book character in a Spider-Man spin-off story by Marvel Comics which depicts an "amorphous, villainous" avatar of the presumptive Republican presidential candidate.
Marvel debuted the villainous version of Trump in "Spider-Gwen Annual 1."
The Marvel villain MODULO or 'Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing' a giant head with arms, legs and a thirst for destruction was re imagined in the Spider-Man universe as the real estate tycoon, media reports said.
In his inaugural panel, MODULO also known as MODAL or 'Mental Organism Designed as America's King', the "amorphous, villainous" Trump-faced antagonist says - "If America will not act, SEMI-AUTOMATIC must!" the report said.
The storyline involves Captain America going up against various redesigned villains, including MODULO and a version of Baron Blood who strongly resembles the late pop star Prince.
The action takes place in an alternate Spider-Man universe where Gwen Stacy girlfriend of Peter Parker, the first and most well-known Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider instead and thus gained its powers.
This is not the first time the comic book industry has appropriated 70-year-old Trump's image. At New York Comic Con in October, artists in attendance were asked to name their favorite super villain and then draw him or her as Trump.
