Trudeau [appears on the cover](http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2016/08/31/491842943/can-a-canadian-prime-minister-be-an-action-hero-marvel-comics-thinks-so) of a new issue of the Marvel comic book _Civil War II: Choosing Sides_, [NPR reports](http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2016/08/31/491842943/can-a-canadian-prime-minister-be-an-action-hero-marvel-comics-thinks-so). That’s right. In addition to [photo bombing weddings](http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/shirtless-justin-trudeau-accidentally-photo-bombs-b-c-beach-wedding-1.3710479), [balancing babies](https://www.instagram.com/p/6dY-nMDj16/) and [hugging panda cubs](https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/706876218692472832), Trudeau is now an action hero. Featured on the variant cover of issue No. 5, the 44-year-old prime minister is shown sitting in a boxing ring and wearing a tank top emblazoned with a maple leaf. Behind him are Puck, Sasquatch and Aurora, members of Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight, with Iron Man in the left corner, according to the [_Toronto Star_](https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/2016/08/31/justin-trudeau-debuts-on-marvel-comics-cover.html). Perhaps the only disappointing thing about the new comic? No shirtless sketches of Trudeau. Toronto-based cartoonist [Ramon Perez](http://www.ramonperez.com/v4/), who is behind the Trudeau depiction, told NPR his original draft did feature a bare-chested Trudeau, but Marvel thought the move might be too risqué. **Quiz**: [_Are You Ready for Back to School?_](http://time.com/4457305/back-to-school-quiz/) The story centers around a new character named Ulysses who can see into the future, and the Alpha Flight squad is divided over whether to use the information to arrest potential criminals, according to NPR. But for more details, fans will just have to pick up the issue. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4475768/canadian-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-appears-on-new-marvel-comic-book-cover/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4475768/canadian-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-appears-on-new-marvel-comic-book-cover/"},"headline":"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Appears On New Marvel Comic Book Cover","datePublished":"2016-09-01T15:21:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:49:16.491Z","description":"Sadly, he won't be shirtless","url":"https://time.com/4475768/canadian-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-appears-on-new-marvel-comic-book-cover/","keywords":["Justin Trudeau","Marvel","Canada"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt858660b2f8034e36/6988a484cd1bbafdae7022b1/justin-trudeau-canada-prime-minister-marvel-comic-book-boxing-maple-leaf-meme.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Abigail Abrams","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/abigail-abrams/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt858660b2f8034e36/6988a484cd1bbafdae7022b1/justin-trudeau-canada-prime-minister-marvel-comic-book-boxing-maple-leaf-meme.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"CANADA-US-ENTERTAINMENT-POLITICS","caption":"CANADA-US-ENTERTAINMENT-POLITICS","creditText":"MARC BRAIBANT—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/justin-trudeau/","name":"Justin Trudeau"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4475768/canadian-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-appears-on-new-marvel-comic-book-cover/","name":"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Appears On New Marvel Comic Book Cover"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Justin Trudeau's Greatest Hits","description":"A mash up of Justin Trudeau's best moments.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/uXLetYBN/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-03-10T21:06:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/uXLetYBN.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4475768/canadian-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-appears-on-new-marvel-comic-book-cover/","duration":"PT1M53S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4475768/canadian-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-appears-on-new-marvel-comic-book-cover/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
