Obama received the endorsement of the Savage Dragon, which is not one of his two favorite superheroes.

Savage Dragon, a superhero and police officer whose adventures are published by Image Comics, is throwing his hat in the ring for Barack Obama. The news is blared across the cover of issue No. 137, with the green-skinned hero dressed up for the occasion in a black jacket, crisp white shirt and striped red tie.

The senator is also dressed nattily, though sartorial sticklers might point out that his tie falls a few inches too short. ("That's just because I'm an idiot," says Erik Larsen, who created the Savage Dragon character.)

Well, Obama is not exactly a snappy dresser -- even on those occasions when he's not wearing a tie. And even if Savage Dragon is the first superhero to endorse a presidential candidate, that's only because Stripperella hadn't been created in time for the 1992 election.
