Arnold Schwarzenegger has proven to be a very multifaceted individual. He got his start as a body builder afterwards he came to Hollywood and became instantly famous for his dark role as The Terminator. After a string of successful films, Schwarzenegger made the leap from box office to public office when he became the governor of the state of California.

After heading out on the campaign trail and winning the election, Schwarzenegger became known as the “Governator” by all. It started out as a running joke, but now that joke will be turned into a cartoon superhero. Stan Lee, the man behind Spider-man, is co-developing an animated TV show starring the title character.

Although the show will not be out until next year, Stan Lee sat down with EW.com to discuss the new project he said, “We’re using all the personal elements of Arnold’s life. We’re using his wife [Maria Shriver]. We’re using his kids. We’re using the fact that he used to be governor. Only after he leaves the governor’s office, Arnold decides to become a crime fighter and builds a secret high-tech crime-fighting center under his house in Brentwood.”

The cartoon will also feature recurring villains, an advanced armory of weapons, and of course lightning speed vehicles equipped for fighting crime. I wonder what his personal motto and phrases will be. They can’t use “I’ll be back” but surely it will a pun of sorts.

Schwarzenegger is thrilled to be the inspiration for such a comic. This is satire at a whole new level.

“The Terminator,” the 1984 movie that launched Arnold Schwarzenegger into superstardom, will live on in the U.S. Library of Congress.

The movie directed by Canadian James Cameron is one of 25 films that have been added to the National Film Registry, a collection established in 1989 to digitize and preserve movies with cultural, historic or aesthetic significance.

Other titles joining the archive are the 1950 film noir “The Asphalt Jungle,” the acclaimed 1972 drama “Deliverance” and 1967 version of Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood” directed by Richard Brook.

Movies are added annually to the registry, which currently includes 500 films.

The library said “The Terminator,” which features time-travelling cyborgs who threaten the future of the human race, was chosen for Schwarzenegger’s star-making performance and for standing the test of time as a shining example of the science fiction genre.

The movie spawned two sequels and a 2008 TV series, with a third movie sequel due for release in 2009.
