Amazing Spider-Man #583

Can you guess why an otherwise boring and forgettable issue of Barry Kitson and Mark 's Amazing Spider-Man makes its way into this list? We will give you a clue: Amazing Spider-Man #583 was published on 15 January, in 2009. However, some of you might have figured it out already: the story is about the presidential narrative and variant takes of that issue, whose release deliberately coincided with the day Barack Obama was officially elected as the US’s 44th President.

Amazing Spider-Man #583 also included a backup story "Spidey Meets the President” In this story, the Chameleon attempts to take over the place of Obama, and uses his mimicking powers to change his appearance into the president’s, fooling everyone.

As a Daily Bugle photojournalist, Peter Parker is on site to cover the election; and as Spider-Man, he managed to distinguish the real Barack Obama from the Chameleon by asking him several questions that only the real Barack Obama could answer.
