Your friendly neighborhood PFIZER-MAN: US pharma giant partners with Marvel to create comic that urges people to get their Covid vaccine and be an 'everyday hero'- Pfizer's comic tells the story of a grandpa who is waiting for a Covid vaccine
- It shows Ultron attacking - who represents Covid as he keeps 'evolving'
- He is fended off by the Avengers who mirror the different Pfizer vaccinations
Pfizer has partnered with Marvel to create a comic book to urge people to get their Covid booster vaccines and be an 'everyday hero'.
The PR stunt comes amid a sluggish autumn jab rollout that has seen less than one in 20 eligible Americans receive their Omicron-specific shot.
Pfizer is also pushing for its new bivalent booster vaccine to be approved for children aged five to 11.
The plot of the new comic centers around a grandfather waiting for his jab at a clinic that comes under attack by the Avengers villain Ultron.
Ultron — a maniacal robot that constantly evolves and comes back stronger — is used to represent Covid, which is constantly mutating into new strains.
Captain America arrives at the scene and is pushed to the brink of defeat before Iron Man — who is supposed to represent Pfizer's new jab — arrives with a brand-new cannon that blasts Ultron into the sky.
The grandfather tells the reader that even superheroes have to keep 'adapting' to fight off Ultron — a clear reference to the updated vaccines.
Pfizer said the comic book has been released to encourage people to 'protect themselves' by 'staying up to date' with their Covid jabs.
It comes as officials plead with Americans over 50 years old to get their second booster jabs.
Just 7.6million Americans have got the new bivalent vaccine that works better against the dominant Omicron subvariants so far.

Pfizer has released a Marvel-themed story to explain how its Covid vaccine works. It features a grandfather and his family who get a Covid vaccine (bottom), the Avengers who represent the Covid vaccines (middle) and Ironman (in red, shown above) who represents the new Covid vaccine, and Ultron (top left) who represents Covid's evolution

The comic ends with the grandpa smiling after recieiving his updated booster vaccine, with the Avengers in the background being cheered by crowds
Publishing the comic book yesterday, Pfizer said: 'When Ultron wreaks havoc, the Avengers act as the first line of defense.
'People can help protect themselves by staying up to date with Covid vaccinations.'
The comic be viewed online on the Marvel website. It is not clear how much Pfizer paid for the promotion.
The story begins with a grandfather waiting at a Covid vaccine clinic with his family when a news alert flashes on the television screen that Ultron has returned.
Explaining how the villain mirrors Covid, the grandfather says he 'keeps changing and evolving' so the Avengers — who represent Pfizer's jabs — 'keep adapting and re-strategising'.
The comic book then shows the Avengers — who mirror each of Pfizer's shots — doing battle with Ultron.
But they struggle to beat him — because he has 'evolved' — leading to the fight coming to just outside the vaccine clinic.
But in the nick of time Ironman — who represents the updated booster shot — arrives and blasts Ultron into space using an 'ionized energy cannon'.
Ironman then comes to the clinic and tells the grandfather that he 'looks good' and that retirement agrees with him.
When the grandfather asks if the Avengers will retire, Ironman says: 'We're just getting started'.
After the battle, the grandfather is then called for his Covid vaccine, and later is shown smiling with a plaster on his left arm indicating that he has had the vaccine.
At the end we see builders, nurses, window cleaners, students and a grandmother with the slogan: 'Everyday heroes don't wear capes!
'But they do wear a small bandage on their upper arm after they get their latest Covid vaccination — because everyday heroes are concerned about their health.'
America lags behind most other western countries in its Covid vaccine roll out with just 67 per cent of people having turned up for their first two doses.
It began rolling out updated booster shots this September, which can protect against Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5.
All over-12s who have received at least the first two doses of the Covid vaccine are eligible.
But uptake has been sluggish, with just 7.6million out of the 215million eligible having got the jab more than a month since the roll out began.
Controversy was sparked over the Covid vaccine drive when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) extended eligibility to children who are six months old.
Many experts cautioned against the move at the time, saying children face a very low risk from the virus and warned it could interfere with other inoculations they need such as against polio or measles.
There is also now a prevailing sense that the Covid pandemic has come to an end, after President Joe Biden declared it was over on television last month.
He has since attempted to walk back from his words, but many are still under the impression that Covid no longer poses a threat.
