Lunatik
Lunatik is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Publication history Lunatik first appeared in ''Defenders'' #51 (September 1977), though a later retcon identifies him as an incarnation of Arisen Turk, a character who appeared in ''Creatures on the Loose'' #35-37 (May-September 1975), by writer David Anthony Kraft and artist George Pérez. According to Kraft, he had been trying to link Lunatik to the ''Creatures on the Loose'' story arc during his time as writer on ''Defenders'', and his successor Ed Hannigan picked up on this, but made a different connection between the two than Kraft had had in mind. Keith Giffen stated "Lunatik was a character I came up with in high school. When it went radically wrong, I went to DC omics andtook the basic concept of Lunatik and ... split tinto two characters: Lobo had his mercilessness, and Ambush Bug had his goofiness." The character was created and designed in a hurry, with his appearance b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ambush Bug
Ambush Bug is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. His real name is supposedly Irwin Schwab, but he has mental problems that prevent him from truly understanding reality around him, so even his true identity might be no more than a delusion on his part. His origin is disputed, although the most commonly accepted origin is that Brum-El (a historical allusion to Beau Brummell, as well as a reference to Superman's father Jor-El) of the planet Schwab sent his clothes from his supposedly doomed planet, hoping that his wardrobe would survive, only to have it intercepted by a giant radioactive space spider. In the resulting crash, only two articles of clothing survived: the Ambush Bug suit, which was subsequently found by Irwin Schwab; and "Argh!Yle!", an argyle sock with a Doctor Doom–like complex, complete with metal mask. Publication history Created by artist Keith Giffen as an intentionally silly character, Ambush Bug first appeared in ''DC Comics ...

Lobo (DC Comics)
Lobo is a fictional character appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. He was created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, and first appeared in ''Omega Men'' #3 (June 1983). He is an alien from the utopian planet of Czarnia, and works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter. Lobo was first introduced as a hardened villain in the 1980s, but he soon fell out of use with writers. He remained in limbo until his revival as a bounty hunter with his own comic in the early 1990s. One of the key factors in this revival was the distinct and influential artwork of Simon Bisley, whose exaggerated and dynamic style helped redefine the character and significantly contributed to his popularity. Bisley's work on the Lobo series, starting with the miniseries ''Lobo: The Last Czarnian'' in 1990, was instrumental in cementing Lobo's place in the 1990s American comic book scene. Writers attempted to use Lobo as a parody of the 1990s trend towards "grim and gritty" superhero stories, but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
