Stephen Colbert is an American comedian most noted for his portrayal as a newscaster on the Comedy Central TV shows The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. In these shows, Colbert is known for playing a caricature of a egotistical right wing news pundit, satirizing pundits such as Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel.
Since starting his show critically acclaimed fake news show The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert has apparently caught the imagination of a few comic artists, and his likeness has appeared in multiple comic books. Colbert has even been involved in creating his own comic book, The Tek Jansen Adventures, published by Oni Press.
Although he isn't named as such (possibly due to copyright issues), a Stephen Colbert-type character made a cameo appearance in Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #15. The plot, described as the "Battle of the Books", sees Spider-Man and Vulture battling it out in a bookstore, while Deborah Whitman, author of a recent memoir on her relationship with Peter Parker is caught in the middle. Colbert appears in a moment of comic relief, putting Parker "On Notice" for being a "bleeding-heart liberal" as well as spewing catchphrases such as, "That's the Word!".
