Fighting Aliens

Gordon Brown is portrayed as an alien-fighting hero in a new American comic.

He helps protect the planet from an evil, green-skinned race known as The Skrulls in Marvel comic book Captain Britain and MI13.

The Prime Minister is seen discussing the invasion with super hero Captain Britain and operatives of MI13, a fictional British intelligence agency.

He tells them: "All British super heroes now work for MI13. Like it or not."

The PM is forced to take drastic action after discovering that a number of Cabinet members, including the Home Secretary, are really aliens in disguise.

The comic's British writer, Paul Cornell, said: "I'm quite a fan of Gordon Brown and specified that the character had to look like him.

"I feel quite sorry for him, so I'm pleased we've given him a PR boost."
