Comic book hero Super Obama flies in to save the day … and hopefully the economy

He may need superhero powers to save the U.S economy, and if this comic creation is anything to go by President Barack Obama has the strength and power to do so.

• The Commander-in-Chief is shown in the middle of a Clark Kent-style transformation on the cover of  comics, entertainment and pop culture magazine, Wizard.
• Super Obama is seen tearing off his shirt to reveal a large O logo on his chest.
• A feature inside the pages of the April 2009 issue of Wizard, on newsstands now, looks back at cameos by different U.S Presidents in comic books over the years.
• It is the latest in a string of comic book-style appearances for the American President.
• The 47-year-old has already appeared in a special edition of a Spider-Man comic, and his rise to the White House was charted in another cartoon book.
• In January, the new commander-in-chief was chosen as the star of the special issue of Marvel comics because he was a childhood fan of the character and used to collect the comics.
• The comic features a six-page story about the superhero saving the day when an imposter tries to take Obama’s place as president.
• The Spider-Man edition, likely to become an instant collectors’ item, features Obama on the cover, smiling and giving a thumbs-up.
