* [[Barack Obama]] got a special, short story in ''[[Spider-Man|The Amazing Spider-Man]]''. And thanks to [[Follow the Leader]] effect it was followed by his appearances in ''Thunderbolts'', ''Secret Warriors'', ''[[The Savage Dragon]]'', ''Youngblood'', opening of [[Marvel Super Hero Squad]] cartoon, and even making him main character in ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' parody comics, and sequel of some [[After the End]] comic. |

** For the Conan example, I'd mention how that is [[One of Us|his favorite comic]] (as far as [[Wanderlustwarrior|This Troper]] remembers). |

** Obama appeared as a playable 'character' (actually a skin) in the add-on to ''[[Mercenaries]] 2: World in Flames'', although he wasn't actually President yet at the time. Sarah Palin was also playable. Sadly, he's ''only'' playable in the add-on missions, and all of them are vehicle-based, meaning you only really get to see him in the hub area, and can't take the POTUS on a mass Venezuelan killing-spree. Now that ''would'' have got Chavez pissed off. |

** Perhaps it should be mentioned that before the election (and to a lesser extent afterward) John McCain and Sarah Palin also got comics based on them. Not to mention Michelle Obama, and the new White House dog. |

** In a not so flattering example, both Obama and Palin show up as themselves in the ''[[Bomb Queen]]'' comic, only for the [[Villain Protagonist]] to humiliate and beat up the former and by implication via [[Inferred Holocaust]] later kills the latter. |

* Canadian example that does this with the Queen, sort of. The absolutely terrible 1980s ''Captain Canada'' comic by Geoff Stirling features [http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y287/Ronkaperplexous/Comics/atlantis-081.jpg a cameo by Liz and Chuck as they are about to get stepped on by a giant robot, only to be rescued by the greatest Canadian hero ever (oh, and Captain Canada)]! |

* ''Captain Britain'' had Gordon Brown in it once, which naturally amused the [[British Newspapers]] immensely: [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/2066678/Flash-Gordon-Brown-Space-Warrior.html Telegraph], [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1023597/Have-fear-SuperGordon-help-save-world--new-comic-book-Captain-Britain.html Mail], [http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1237452.ece Sun]. (Clue: that looks nothing like him.) |
