It looks like the mask is a bit too tight on his head. |

Its the size of a childs, and it lacks a jawbone? I thought the Chameleon was dead. Then again, when has anyone in the Marvel universe ever stayed dead? User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |

I was going to go with 'grinning skull' but that works too. ^^ |

It seems as though he has gained a cleft chin. |

Well, he might have a few Spidey fans in the White House as well. :) |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4169 Joined: 6 Sep 2008   | Marvel has been all over the election. In the Marvel Verse, it was actually a three way race between Obama, McCain, and STEVEN COLBERT. Colbert almost won, but lost when it was discovered there was a vote count error and Obama was elected. |

AFAICR, Spidey actually agreed to the Registration, and when he did reveal his ID, he was hounded by the Press until he was forced to join the Anti-Registration cabal. With great power comes great responsibility. Actually, that could be Obama's manifesto. |

I thought it was discovering Iron Man's prison dimension thingy that flipped him? |

Obama: Your Friendly Neighbourhood President-Elect
Two heroes meet after defeating their arch-nemeses. One of them is Spider-Man.
January 14th sees the release of Amazing Spider-Man #583, in which Spidey is joined by Barack Obama. In a dastardly plot, the Chameleon wants to be sworn in as President. Can our web-slinging wall-crawler save Obama?
Whilst this may seem like a publicity stunt, caricaturing presidents is something old hat to the likes of MAD magazine, though it generally ends up in lampoonery - see Jedi Bush in Robot Chicken, or B.L.A.I.R. 1 in 2000 AD.
John F. Kennedy also helped to save Superman's identity back in 1963, but in one of those horrible twists of fate the comic was released on the last week of November 1963.
The Spidey issue, selling for $3.99 at comic-book specialty shops, is expected to be an instant sellout, especially because the Obama cover, by Phil Jimenez, is limited to half the run. Given that Obama himself is a big Spider-Man fan, you can expect a lot of them to be shipped directly to the White House.
