Upcoming[when?] animated series (2012-???) co-created by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stan Lee and starring Schwarzenegger as himself... as a Superhero. The story is that after leaving the governor's office, Arnold decides to become a crime fighter and builds a secret high-tech crime-fighting control center under his house. Many aspects of the real Arnold's life are being animated for the series, including his wife and children. A comic book will also be released, published by Archie Comics in their first superhero endeavor in decades (though another comic company, Antarctic Press, did a similar parody with the same name. Nothing related to this show though). If the cartoon and comic book are successful, an animated 3-D feature film may follow -- and possibly also a live-action version.
Descended into Development Hell and at this point has almost certainly been quietly cancelled, due to the difficulties in Schwarzenegger's personal life.
- Affectionate Parody: Seems to be this of late-eighties to mid-nineties cartoons, and the toyeticness thereof. Though with Stan Lee these days, it's hard to say.

- Animesque: The animation gives it a bit of this vibe.
- Applied Phlebotinum: Like any good superhero, the Governator has all sorts of cool gadgets, including super suits that allow him to fly into space, become invisible, walk through walls, or become a submarine; a throat spray that lets him speak any language, and a car that can become a helicopter, a submarine, and a boat.
