I do love a bit of cultural cross-pollination. Especially when it’s trolling one of the biggest cheeses in the world.
The humble comic book has long had a tradition of lambasting the biggest cultural names of the day, and Donald Trump is no different.
The property and steak-by-mail entrepreneur has been turned into a Captain America villain by the same company that brought us Spiderman, the X-Men and the Hulk.
Sorry for the slight aside into comic history, but here goes: M.O.D.O.K, or Mechanised Organism Designed Only for Killing, was a super-intelligent cyborg bent on world destruction, who had a habit of regenerating.
His latest incarnaiton is called M.O.D.A.A.K – “Mental Organism Designed as America’s King” – and bears a striking resemblance to the Republican presidential nominee.
“If America will not act, M.O.D.A.A.K MUST,” the villain announces in his first appearance.
What a time to be alive.
