Marvel turns Donald Trump into supervillain MODOK

Washington: Donald Trump has now 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. [caption id=“attachment_2869770” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Donald Trump.

In his inaugural panel, MODOK also known as MODAAK or ‘Mental Organism Designed as America’s King’, the “amorphous, villainous” Trump-faced antagonist says - “If America will not act, M.O.D.A.A.K must!” the report said. The storyline involves Captain America going up against various redesigned villains, including MODOK 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 Stacey — 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 supervillain and then draw him or her as Trump.
