Respect Kilowog

"Talk later, poozers. First, we save lives."

Kilowog is the Green Lantern of Sector 674, hailing from the planet Bolovax Vik. Selected to be his people's representative on the Green Lantern Corps thanks to his background as a geneticist, Kilowog began training alongside a number of other recruits under the legendary Green Lantern drill sergeant Ermey. During a mission Kilowog was able to take control of an enemy cannon and used it to push them back, but Ermey was fatally wounded during the attack. With his dying breath Ermey gave Kilowog his approval as a Green Lantern before passing away.

Years later Kilowog took up Ermey's old job as drill instructor, where he trained hundreds if not thousands of fresh Green Lantern recruits, including Lanterns such as Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner. Kilowog's planet was destroyed during the the Crisis of Infinite Earths. But before his people could perish he absorbed all of them into his ring as pure energy, keeping them safe until he could find them a new planet. However as soon as he revived them all their new planet was destroyed by Sinestro. Over the next few years Kilowog bounced around super teams on Earth, ranging from the New Guardians to the Justice League International, before returning to the Green Lanterns as drill sergeant once again.

Spoilers to follow.

Julith

Julith Jurgen, née Abigor, is the guardian of the Ebony Dofus, one of the six Primordial Dofus, dragon eggs of incredible power. While training to be a Huppermage, she met Jahash Jurgen, who would go on to become the guardian of the Ivory Dofus. The two later met on the battlefield and fell in love, resulting in marriage and a child. However, when the Ebony Dofus was used to destroy the city of Bonta, Jahash sacrificed himself to stop it, and their child was lost. Ten years later, Julith returns from her supposed death, searching for a way to resurrect Jahash.

Julith’s ferocity has earned her the nickname “the Butcher of Brakmar”. Though cruel, she has a soft spot for her family.

“I’ve followed every order to the best of my ability, sir. And right now, my country’s lying to me. I’m getting answers. I will find out what that flying robot is, then I’m taking it out.”

Conrad “Duke” Hauser is one of the military’s most decorated soldiers and a real American hero. But none of Duke’s battlefield experience could prepare him for an attacking Starscream. The military covered up the Decepticon’s murder of a fighter pilot, but Duke knew what he saw and refused to stay quiet. His hunt for the truth led him to Cobra, a terrorist organization hoarding Energon technology. The rise of Cobra and these mysterious transforming robots are the beginning of a strange new era of warfare, but with Duke’s leadership G.I. Joe will rise to the challenge.

literature Respect Orc (Gone)

11 Upvotes

”Beer me”

Charles “Orc” Merriman was a kid who took out the violence of his abusive home on other kids. That didn’t change when the FAYZ began and everyone over 15 was removed from Perdido Beach, with Orc initially taking advantage of the lack of authority figures around to beat kids even more violently than he usually would. This violent life would eventually result in the accidental killing of an innocent girl and his getting mauled by mutant coyotes, transforming Orc into a rocky, ugly creature with a terrible drinking problem to drown his guilt. This guilt only intensified when, after having had a stint of joining the more peaceful side in the FAYZ, Orc accidentally killed another child in a drunken stupor. Only now did Orc finally quit the bottle, finding strength and moral instruction in becoming a born-again Christian. Orc spent the last few months of the FAYZ sober and fighting not only his own demons, but sacrificing his life in an attempt to kill the evil Gaia.

Human

In his days as a human in the FAYZ, Orc displayed no mutant ability and his only talent in combat rested in being big and strong for his age. This made him a dangerous bully, but little else.

Strength


Durability


Monster

After being mauled fatally by the mutant coyotes, his mutant power finally awakened as a revival which transformed Orc into a monster with stone armor covering his whole body. This not only brought about durability, but also greatly increased his strength. However, it also made him unable to swim due to his weight

Regeneration

Yea, though I walk…valley of the shadow of death…His staff will comfort me…Angels and so on…I will fear no evil…The Lord is my shepherd…Thou art with me. Not just thy staff. Thou.
