Arnold Schwarzenegger’s reps declined to comment last week for our story that the former California Governor may be doing an animated series with producer Andy Heyward based on a superhero character created in partnership with comic book icon Stan Lee. Well, that’s probably because they were in the process of booking the cover of Entertainment Weekly to unveil the new character. Called The Governator, it is a version of Schwarzenegger after he has left the Governor’s office and becomes a crime fighter, Lee told EW. The Governator will run operations out of a secret high-tech crime-fighting center (aka Arnold Cave) under his house in Brentwood and will have a fleet of super vehicles and a closet full of “Super Suits” at his disposal. He will be surrounded by a gallery of sidekicks, including a 13-year-old computer whiz, and supervillains, including G.I.R.L.I.E Men, named after another Arnold-ism.
Schwarzenegger let news of the Governator slip a couple of weeks ago in an interview with a fan site, in which he said: “I am packaging a comic book character right now. I’m going to announce that sometime at the end of March or the beginning of April.” Schwarzenegger is slated to unveil the animated series in a press conference at MIPTV on April 4.

Ballsy.
As silly as this is, I’m sure it might be fun.
Ayo when they gonna make a Denzel cartoon? THAT shit wud be ill!!!
I still blame all my fellow californians for voting him in…. again WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU GUYS THINKING!!!?????
April fools comes early?
Arnold becomes a cartoon — how redundant!
Two predictions:
1. I don’t think it will last long.
2. It will be more realistic than his policies as governor.
“CONFIRMED: Arnold Schwarzenegger To Become Cartoon Superhero”
What do you mean “to become”?
This clown’s been a cartoon all his life who’s viewed himself as a “superhero”.
This is the 21st century. And Arnold served as Governor of the largest State in the union!?
THAT’S why we’re doomed.
If Arnold’s a superhero, turn out the lights, the party’s over.
Shame on California voters for electing this kind of jerk,for 8 years!What kind of country is this and where we going?
Arnold turned into such a wimp as Governor
it is hard to take him seriously as a tough guy.
This will bomb like all of Stan’s other post-Marvel hack-jobs than never see the page, screen or profit for his partners in spite of the publicity splash they make when announced.
I’m sorry Stan.
It’s not me, it’s you.
Arnold is a living legend. As a child he aspired to be: strongest man in the world, biggest movie star in the world, president of the United States, and marry a Kennedy. He accomplished every one of them except the one the constitution didn’t allow him.
His super power is running state governments into the ground.
Finally, the suit fits. Because he was an empty 42 long as governor. Being a cartoon befits his intelligence.
CONFIRMED: Arnold is a D-BAG!! Toldjya!!!
The next headline:
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER CAST IN ADAPTATION OF GOVERNATOR
Arnold confirms that he has been cast in a screen adaptation of his life adaptation comic book.
And honestly – he’ll probably make a better governator than he did a governor.
Personally, I prefer the name, “Gubernator”.
It’s not a press conference. It’s a dinner. With 90 potential buyers. With an introduction by Nicholas Sarkosy.
Really, only 1 April Fools commenter in the first 15??
Not bad, but you should’ve disabled comments. This one’s gonna be sunk before 7, the DAY before.
Actor, Governor, Superhero. This proves you can be whatever you want to be in the United States of America.
Arnold be a real man and run for President your campaign should be about the idiotic and 200 year old Constitution that prohibits people like you and possibly even Obama from becoming President. You could win and the Supreme Court would be obligated to amend the Constitution in order to swear you in. The law should be changed so that anyone who’s lived in America for 30 years is then eligible to serve as President. 200 years ago they were afraid of foreigners getting control here but that’s no longer a legitimate fear. Nobody can say you are not a patriotic American this country has given you the greatest success and even though you did a shitty job as Governor by running for President you can change something that’s long overdue for change.
If Obama was born in Kenya or Indonesia it doesn’t matter. He grew up in Hawaii. Just because you grew up in Austria should not matter you spent 40 years here already and you deserve to be allowed to run for President. You might not win but it would be great to see you in the running so just do it. Nobody can prevent you from campaigning and participating in the debates just tell them that if you win you will go to the Supreme Court in person to get the law changed before Inauguration Day.
Uhm, you DO understand that’s now how the Constitution works, right? The Supreme Court can’t just DECIDE to change the Constitution like that. Arnold would need to get Congress to amend the Constitution and then 33 states would need to ratify that Amendment. There was a lot of serious talk about doing all of that work back in 2002 or so before Arnold had to modify his right-wing stance in order to get anything done with California’s Democratic legislature… but today? No way ANY Republican would vote for something like that and allow a foreigner to become President… especially not give how much hatred the Birthers (irrational morons and racists all) have lumped onto “Barry” Obama for supposedly being born in Kenya or whatever their claim is this week. Besides, Schwarzenegger was an awful Governor, and would make an even worse President.
Does he have the power to make jobs disappear?
So who is it he is going to rescue, it sure as hell wasn’t California.
Maybe he will fight the evil nurses with all their care and compassion.
Care and compassion a real sign of weakness…can’t have that !
Stripperella, anyone?
The HUB is DROOLING!
Is this the best deal Arnold could make–with Stan Lee of all people?? Come on!…
Either Arnold is brain dead or it’s time to fire the agent!
Yeah, he’s gonna milk the Governor crap – without mentioning that he was a disaster start-to-finish – and he’s obviously going to apply to it all the class he does to everything with which he’s associated: None.
But I’m sure Leno will have a ball chatting with his pal about it, and their shared hilarity will have to last until the next time Arnold has ANOTHER classless, half-assed project/scam to promote.
Personally I think its hysterical;sounds like huge fun. (Also what kind of a ____ calls himself comedy maven? Are you Woody Allen or Larry David?!
