A list of interns who worked on President Donald Trump's new 'Economic Report of the President' includes the 'real-life' names of Batman, Spider-Man and Captain America, 'Monty Python' member John Cleese, and 'Star Trek' character Kathryn Janeway.

This big new White House report isn't a comic book — but some of the names in it belong in one.

A list of"student interns" who worked on President Donald Trump's new"Economic Report of the President" includes the names of Batman, Spider-Man and Captain America's alter egos,"Monty Python" cast member John Cleese, a captain of a"Star Trek" starship, Kathryn Janeway — and, possibly, a purported heir to the throne in"Game of Thrones."

J.T. Hutt — which could be short for the"Star Wars" villain Jabba The Hutt — also makes an appearance on the list of funny names sprinkled amid a larger number of names of real, live interns attached to the 711-page report, which was produced by Trump's Council of Economic Advisers.

Parker's name appears before that of"Bruce Wayne," who is better known as Gotham City's angst-ridden cowled crimefighter"Batman" in the DC Comics Universe. Marvel Comics gets its own plug from the appearance on the list of Steve Rogers, a.k.a."Captain America."But it also might be a nod to"Jon Snow," the brooding, purported"King of the North" on the HBO hit show"Game of Thrones.
