The European Central Bank president is overtaking the Federal Reserve chairman — at least for now — as the central banker with the most influence on the global economy and markets.

Bernanke is ‘Helicopter Ben’ because he once referred to the Fed’s ability to rescue the economy with a ‘helicopter drop’ of cash. And Draghi is, perhaps inevitably, ‘Super Mario.'”
