Whether or not he wins the White House, 2016 has seen Donald Trump immortalized. He is the face of a revamped Marvel comic book villain, M.O.D.A.A.K. ("Mental Organism Designed As America's King"), a giant-faced, tiny-bodied (and, of course, tiny-handed) being previously known as M.O.D.O.K. ("Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing").
The character is featured in Marvel's Spider-Gwen series, an alternate reality of the Spiderman story in which Peter Parker is never bitten by a radioactive spider, but his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, instead gains spider-based super powers.
