....Dominic Cummings bear a striking resemblance to that arch villain...'Megamind' from the film of the same name? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53662230
Yeah I think that's what they've gone for. I'm not sure why though, as there are clear differences between Cummings and Megamind. One is an evil genius with a comically shaped head, a subservient minion and no real beliefs or purpose other than self-advancement, and the other is a CGI character.
