Marvel Comics has once again taken aim at Donald Trump, this time by making him the arch-villain in a new issue of Spiderman spinoff series Spider-Gwen.
In Spider-Gwen Annual #1 — which centers on an alternate universe in which Peter Parker’s girlfriend, Gwen Stacey, was the one bitten by a radioactive spider — the villainous Modok bears more than a striking resemblance to the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
In the new comic, Modok is now M.O.D.A.A.K. (Mental Organism Designed as America’s King), a giant-headed villain who plans to rule the world.
“If America will not act… M.O.D.A.A.K. must!” the character exclaims in one panel.
“Must make America…” the character begins to say after being struck in the head by an object.
The issue hails from Marvel Comics’ Jason Latour, Jim Campbell and Chris Visions and was released this week.
This is not the first time that an issue of a Marvel comic book has made Trump out to be a villain.
In Issue No. 1 of Steve Rogers: Captain America, released in May, the nefarious Nazi Red Skull delivers a hardline anti-immigration speech before calling for a race war on behalf of the evil organization Hydra.
“I have just come from Europe–my homeland, in fact,” Red Skull tells a group of his followers. “And do you know what I saw there? It was an invading army. These so-called “refugees” – millions of them – marching across the continent, bringing their fanatical beliefs and their crime with them. They bomb our cities. And how do our leaders respond? Do they push them back and enforce the borders, as is our sovereign duty? Of course not.
As Breitbart’s Warner Todd Huston previously reported, that issue of Captain America sought to equate criticism of the Syrian refugee problem with Nazism.

First, they turn heroes into gays and now this. Way to lose customers.
That's more of an Obama line..." If congress will not act I will..."
Now there's a villain for you! Comes with a furry costume and everything!
I am going to buy one of these. It will be worth a lot of money one day, especially after I get President Trump’s signature on it.
"Squirrels like nuts. Gitchy gitchy gimme nuts!"
Considering the adult comic book reader demographic, about 1% might vote for Trump and it would be by mistake.
Besides Sheldon, Howard and the gang who reads that trash anyway?
Anybody old enough to vote shouldn’t be reading comics anyway....
So let me understand - they depict clearly someone as Trump, who then is violently struck:

“Must make America…” the character begins to say after being struck in the head by an object.
... so to say Make America Great Again is so offensive, the person who says this must be violently struck in the head with an object.
THIS IS CLEARLY ADVOCATING THAT TRUMP WHO IS GOING TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY BE VIO,ENTLY ATYACK AND STRUCK IN THE HEAD.
This isn’t a matter that is a joke, it is violent propaganda and the FBI needs to take whoever is advocating such a violent attack in forthdeatening a presidential candidate. And they owe Trump big big money for such threats and advocacy if any harm comes to him or his supporters.
The shame of this is that I do enjoy Avengers movies and shows.
Comic books ? Yeah, I forgot about those. I actually opened one a few days at a shop and it’s utterly retarded.
They ignore the current tyrant king completely???
Glad I sold all my comics long time ago.
“nybody old enough to vote shouldn’t be reading comics anyway....”
I found out recently from a high school age granddaughter that they are now called “graphic novels”.
I am not kidding.
.
There goes the neckbeard vote....
I saw the Red Skull speech, and thought it was so good I wanted Red Skull as Trump’s VP. There was literally nothing offensive about it and seems almost as if it was taken straight from a conservative message board somewhere.
There would be so much more material if they used Mrs.Clinton.
While I have enjoyed a lot of the new films based on them; Comic books have lost their way. Too politically correct, and too liberally politicized.
Stan Lee is a communist Hillary supporter who got away pat time if I remember with illegal collusion or donations or both.
Crooked as crooked Hillary IMO.
