Spider-Man became the focus of a fierce online dispute after the White House used the Marvel hero in an AI image promoting ICE enforcement. Spider-Man is now center of a political firestorm after the White House shared AI artwork depicting the Marvel superhero assisting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “The White House using Spider Man for immigration messaging is honestly crazy to me. A commenter noted that Peter Parker once protected an undocumented immigrant, referencing The Spectacular Spider-Man issues #137 and #138. As of now, it remains unclear whether the Spider-Man image will be removed and neither Marvel Studios or Sony Pictures has commented.
