Three months after standing¹ down as California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger is to return as a cartoon superhero version of himself, The Governator, he announced this week.

在三个月前从加州州长位置退下来后，阿诺德·施瓦辛格本周宣布，他将以漫画人物“州长侠”的形象复出。“州长侠”以施瓦辛格为原型，是一名超级英雄。

He's back! Arnie returns as cartoon Governator.
The former champion bodybuilder turned Hollywood star -- catchphrase（标语，警句） "I'll be Back" -- has teamed up with Marvel² comics founder³ Stan Lee to create the character which will star in an animated⁴ TV show and comic book.

More details will be announced next week, but Schwarzenegger and Lee revealed the plans to Entertainment Weekly, which published more details on its online version Thursday.

"The Governator is very simple. It takes my entire career basically, if it is bodybuilding, if it is action movies, if it is the governorship," the famously Austrian-accented 63-year-old told the magazine.

"It takes all those things and combines it into one. That guy is designed to fight crime, to fight natural disasters, this guy will be jumping into action," he added in a video clip on the weekly's website.

The animated TV show and comic book won't be out until next year, but Lee -- co-creator of Spider Man and a raft of other comic superheros, revealed that it will be based on Schwarzenegger personally.

"The Governator is going to be a great superhero, but he'll also be Arnold Schwarzenegger," 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-tech⁵ crime-fighting center under his house in Brentwood," he added.

Schwarzenegger came to the United States as a penniless 21-year-old in 1968, but became a millionaire and won the Mr. Universe title four more times, and then shrugged⁶ off barbs⁷（冷嘲热讽） about his thick accent as he turned to acting⁸.

Joining Hollywood's royalty⁹, his ominous¹⁰ "Terminator" catchphrases "I'll be back," and "Hasta la vista¹¹, baby" have now entered the English lexicon¹²（词典） -- and he still uses them frequently as a politician.

Along the way he also married into a political dynasty, wedding Maria Shriver, a niece of former president John F. Kennedy, before becoming California governor in 2003, a post he relinquished¹³ in January.
