WASHINGTON (Jan. 9) - Spider-Man has a new sidekick: The president-elect.
Barack Obama collected Spider-Man comics as a child, so Marvel Comics wanted to give him a "shout-out back" by featuring him in a bonus story, said Joe Quesada, Marvel's editor-in-chief.
The comic starts with Spider-Man's alter-ego Peter Parker taking photographs at the inauguration, before spotting two identical Obamas.
Parker decides "the future president's gonna need Spider-Man," and springs into action, using basketball to determine the real Obama and punching out the impostor.
Obama thanks him with a fist-bump.

According to your link, it was Marvel's idea, not Obama's. Taking over the media? The media LOVES this man. All he has to do is be himself and they FLOCK to him.
I love all the silly things being sold with his image. Let me know when the life-size doll comes out!
Just so you don't think this is exclusively an Obama thing...
