Barack Obama will be featured in a special edition of Spider-Man. Having stated that he is a long term fan of the comic book series, the people over at Marvel are adding the President-Elect as a character in an upcoming issue. According to the Huffington Post:
The Obama story is a bonus in Marvel Comic's Amazing Spider-Man #583, available in comic book shops nationwide on Jan. 14 for $3.99 and is expected to sell out, with half the covers devoted to Obama.
This is a great day for black superheroes! And Barack is certainly one of them. Read more about it on the O Hell Nawl blog.

OBAMA IS NOT BLACK. Please be politically correct, he is half white, and half black.

Barack's not black?
Well since the color Black consist of every color on the spectrum, I'd say he's perfectly Black. The reason the black belt exist is because it is the dominating color, absorbing all other colors into it.
