Barrack Obama inspired a wave of audacious hope throughout the United States when he was elected in late 2008. He also inspired a wave of bizarre depictions in popular culture, famously teaming up with Spider-Man on the cover of the webhead's book not long after he took office. Which was just the start of a frankly insane series of appearances. He made a cameo in the rollerskating manga Air Gear, an erotic Japanese comic alongside Hillary Clinton and John McCain, the sci-fi series Drafted where he helps fight against alien invasion, but probably weirdest was the epic fantasy of Barack The Barbarian apparently inspired by Obama's real love of Conan.
