When they\u2019re not protecting the world from villains, or saving cats from trees superheroes are usually found schmoozing with some very interesting people. Celebrities, musicians, political figures \u2013 the list goes on and on. In the dozens upon dozens of years of illustrated crime fighting, there have been several instances where some of our favorite heroes from fiction and reality collide. To help showcase these unions, we\u2019ve made a list of the top 5 unique comic book cameos you\u2019ll never believe made it to a comic panel.\"Barack<\/p>\n

1. Barack Obama<\/h2>\n

Leadership. Commitment. Compassion.\u00a0 Understanding.\u00a0 These are just some of the necessary characteristics great superheroes usually\u00a0have. Similarly, these are some of the qualities that might be expected in people of high political acclaim \u2013 A president of a country for instance. In Amazing Spider-Man #583, Forty-Fifth President of the United States, Barack Obama, was impersonated by shapeshifting villain, Chameleon.\u00a0 Swinging in to save the day, Spider-Man stopped Chameleon before he could do any major damage, an act that that rewarded Spider-Man the personal gratitude of the actual Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

Barack\u2019s comic book cameos didn\u2019t stop there. During Marvel\u2019s Siege of Asgard event, Barack Obama gave the go ahead to Captain America to attack Norman Osborn\u2019s government task force H.A.M.M.E.R., and officially abolished the Superhuman Registration Act. Just another day in the life of the life of the POTUS.\"Stephen<\/p>\n

2. Stephen Colbert<\/h2>\n

When two great minds come together one genius generally eclipses the other. In Amazing Spider-Man #573 longtime political pundit, Stephen Colbert, met Spider-Man face to face. During Stephen\u2019s campaign for President of the United States, Stephen noticed the web swinging Spider-Man locked in a battle with arch-villain, Grizzly, just a few blocks from his campaign. Being a true patriot, Stephen did the same thing that any hero would do \u2013 join in the fight. In an act that can only be described as heroic and brilliant, Stephen Colbert thwarted the villain\u00a0by pushing a statue off of a building onto Grizzly\u2019s head. While he may have lost the presidential race, it looks like Stephen Colbert might want to consider running for a spot in\u00a0The Avengers.\"Muhammad<\/p>\n

3. Muhammad Ali<\/h2>\n

Very few people can step into the ring with boxing superstar Muhammad Ali. In 1978, DC Comics decided to put the heavyweight champion in the ring with the Man of Steel himself. When an alien civilization demands that the world\u2019s greatest fighters (Ali, and Superman) battle, the pair have no choice but to appease the alien leader, Rat\u2019Lar, or face the onslaught of an alien invasion. Having his powers temporarily removed at his Fortress of Solitude<\/a>, Superman enters the ring and with Ali. Pummeling Superman, Ali wins the crown of Earth\u2019s reigning champion. Once the alien issues were quelled, Ali gives an even harder one-two punch after he reveals to Superman that he knows his true identity.<\/p>\n

\"Eminem<\/p>\n

4. Eminem<\/h2>\n

Some may consider a crime fighting rapper to be a little ironic. Known for his divisive lyrics, Marshall Mathers (better known to the public as his star rapper persona, Eminem) started his career by joining underground freestyling rap battles. Once his career started to pick up steam, Eminem found himself attacked, but not by the people you might come to expect. One night after performing a concert, Eminem and his staff found himself under fire by none other than Marvel\u2019s biggest badass The Punisher. After Punisher\u2019s ambush, the rapper is saved by his childhood friend, Baracuda. Escaping into the night, Eminem comes to discover that Baracuda was not there to save him, but was actually hired to kill by The Parent\u2019s Music Council. Ultimately, Baracuda dies by Marshall after he is gifted a chainsaw by his \u201cbiggest fan\u201d, saving The Punisher in the process. As he has mentioned in one of his songs, Eminem is whatever you say he is \u2013 In this particular case, a hero.\"Kiss<\/p>\n

5. KISS<\/h2>\n

There are few things that are even more badass than fighting crime. One of those few things might be rock and roll. In Marvel\u2019s beloved series Howard the Duck, Howard meets a young girl named Winda. On the run, Winda reveals that she ran away from home because her parents planned to perform an exorcism on her. After a series of unfortunate events, Howard and Winda end in in prison where a prison doctor performs the exorcism on Winda. During the exorcism, it is discovered that Winda is actually a psychic, and creates an illusion of the legendary Rock & Roll band, KISS.<\/p>\n
