Greetings people, with today's post ended with the year of 1991 and see what happened last by Marvel Comics in those yesterdays. For starters, the birth of two new characters, the first was Sleepwalker, known in Mexico as The Sleepwalker, established by the eponymous comic book artist-writer Bob Budiansky (amigocho of Tom DeFalco).
The premise was fairly original: the protagonist was an alien without a name and its mission was to be guardian of a dimension called Mindscape and that is where is supposed to create the thoughts, imagination or something, but ends up locked in an accident the body of Rick Sheridan teenager and is now dedicated to protecting our world, but with the small detail that can only appear in our dimension when its host is sleeping or passed out, hence the name Sleepwalker. The relationship between the Sleepwalker and Rick is somewhat similar to the classic syndrome Captain Marvel, as though the human is aware of that shares space with that entity and can see what happens during the fights like a dream, in fact the alien is completely autonomous and not accountable to their host .
Sleepwalker has the ability to move objects to other dimensions and vice versa, is a good fighter and strong enough (not hulksescos levels, but Luke Cage). His comic was raid or so they tell me because I did not read, but must have had some charm because it lasted more than 3 years. After its cancellation everyone thought would never see him again, but unexpectedly returned in Ms Marvel comics, teaming with Machine Man, apparently Sleepwalker was one of the heroes that are registered joined the Initiative, which makes little sense if considermos is a being from another dimension and its partner is always asleep while performing, so there was no need to abide by human laws, but good.
The original 1991 second hero was Darkhawk , known in Mexico as Dark Hawk (though I only came to see in three issues of Amazing Spider-Man) and dairy farms had their own comic. Was the brainchild of Tom DeFalco own (I say that he and his friends were the only ones who benefited from this system of royalties that you created) and artist Mike Manley. The star was another teenager, named Chris Powell, the son of a policeman who one day followed his father and found it was corrupt and received money from a mobster, they chased him down and will not to him, incidentally, found a sort of mystical diamond (referred to as Amulet), to touch Darkhawk became a huge subject, muscular and energy beams cast from his chest (a la Ironman) could also shield-shaped design . Also had a claw with cable and swing or hold objects when it reached sufficient height and momentum could deploy wings that allowed him fly for a short time.
Darkhawk became very popular due to driving style spidermansesco , a rookie superhero but powerful image and I had to deal with family problems while the villains. His story lasted 50 numbers and apparently the cancellation was related to the poor economic situation of the publisher and not to the absence of a loyal group of readers. By the time the series ended, Chris had discovered that his charm was not mystic but extraterrestrial origin and his body was not changing but is covered with cyber armor. This was discovered to meet his counterpart, a fellow named Evilhawk , which put a tremendous Madriz and shattered his armor, but instead received a new, simpler but more powerful as he could fly all the time I wanted and create a force field around the body style Green Lantern. Darkhawk
not disappeared entirely, by contrast, was promoted to Avenger at its branch in the West Coast and when that group disbanded he joined the New Warriors . After that we stopped seeing each other for several years, was among the Avengers during the series called Heroes Return, but it was the pile and also joined the supergroup known as Loners (pure second son). During Civil War, decided to accept the registration of superheroes and, recently, using the extraterrestrial origin of his suit, started using it in the cosmic sagas and showed that it was even more powerful than he had hitherto shown. Their fate remains to be seen.

After these two strangers, they deserve to race his favorite section:
arachnid second fiddle week.
And today we have Carnage , villain created by David Michelinie and Mark Bagley (although it is said that Erik Larsen made the first sketches) Amazing Spiderman # 361, although I had seen the shadows from a number before and civil identity, Cletus Kasady , came from various issues before (# 344 .) But we split, Eddie Brock and the symbiotic suit had been separated, but the alien was still alive and went to his guest, who was in prison and about to be killed by his fellow cell, the said Cletus Kasady. Brock Without knowing it, to invade the prison when the suit was about to play (apparently it does race only once in life and can occur at any time), so the new symbiote remained in the cell and looked for the nearest man already was a serial murderer and launched their new skills to kill for pleasure which led to Spiderman face.
mutated born on Earth to alien and became more powerful , as it not only serves to mimic other people, but also transforms into solid objects (mostly knives) and, although officially it has always been said that Venom is physically stronger, Carnage several times to show the power of a madman and has exceeded the black symbiote. Carnage is one of the few characters published by Novedades Editores in Mexico whose name was not translated, although in Spain if called Killing guys. By the way, if I remember correctly, the first appearance of Carnage was released last thing before losing New Marvel license and happen to Editorial Vid. Both
as Spider Venom and Carnage are enemies in their first meeting had to team to beat, then each one confronted him on his own in a couple of times and came back together to fight him on that miniseries they have already talked about where they were created new symbionts from a sample Carnage taken. In one of those fights appeared that the suit had died leaving only Kasady, was even worse, actually had joined his own blood and now that it hurt enough to bring out a Carnage. That brings us to the saga known as Maximum Carnage in 1993 and published in different Spiderman titles, hence the crazy he teams up with a group of supervillains to adopting as a family and is devoted to kill all you can in Manhattan.
Spiderman had to team up with Venom, the Black Cat and other nosy to defeat him. The saga is not much, is quite repetitive because Carnage is just beating everyone they going to rise, beat them back, stop and turn well, but it is terrible as they say a lot. It's simply entertaining but will not change your worldview. Was adapted in Super Nintendo game in his time was the biggest seller of all based on comics. Fun fact: officially within the Marvel Universe Maximum Carnage (assumed was actually named by the press) was one of the most terrible events in the history of New York, which left more dead and that all alien invasions they have suffered.
Carnage I continue to be the villain of Spiderman and had two special editions of its own in 1996, Carnage: Mind Bomb and Carnage: It's a Wonderful Life , who had starring Dr. Ashley Kafka, who was trying to unearth the secrets behind the madness Cletus Kasady. After that Carnage was slowly disappearing, being his last great participation at the beginning of the Clone Saga , where he reveals the origin of the Venom symbiote, which is a whole plantet inhabited by beings like him but was subsequently detruido and Carnage symbiote temporarily joined Ben Reilly. He was also chosen by Marvel villain for the first crossover between Spiderman and Batman. It started to say that readers were sick of him and that many had come to hate him, information that is echoed by many blogs and so-called experts is a lie . This rumor was created by Marvel writers and editors, who were who were really tired of it, just read the introduction written by JM DeMatteis the monster Gio published by Marvel to verify it. In fact, readers kept asking for more of Carnage and therefore could not just disappear "without explanation.
The first attempt to get rid of it was Amazing # 430-31, where Carnage returns to wreak havoc but encounter the Silver Surfer and discovered that he is terrified because he was Galactus who destroyed the planet symbiote and was at the time the slider was his herald as they see the angel of death and have kept him among the genetic memory. At first Carnage takes over Silver Surfer, but it gets released and becomes the villain in a crystal statue. That final not convince anyone, so Carnage returned (with no explanation of how he escaped from the quasi-infinite powers the Surfer) and tried to kill him again, this time Venom decided he needed to become more strong, so Kasady cell invasion and literally devoured the other symbiont. A very stupid solution because Carnage symbiote was always stronger and here is that even he was afraid of Venom and neither got his hands to try to defend themselves. To increase the humiliation, Cletus soon escaped from prison with nothing more than a panties up bathed in red paint, making sure that did not need to be Carnage symbiote and his first encounter with the defeat of a Spider single blow.
Very very silly and again readers not accepted, so Kasady got a new outfit, which apparently son of the original and turned back but ended soon Carnage locked. We did not see in many years, until 2005, the first New Avengers arc discovered it was a prisoner more than the raft and Sentry fought him, apparently killing him in space, but just last year came a miniseries featuring Spiderman and Ironman where the villain was neither more nor less than the so-called America's favorite Symbiote. I do not say more because I have not read (although they apparently advancement Cletus did not survive), besides, considering that it was published as Maximum Carnage and is not as unreasonable to think that someday will come here in Mexico.
Finally, someone may ask why Bagley Carnage created assuming that the owner of Amazing was Erik Larsen. Now it turns out that Larsen was the writer and illustrator of Spider-Man title, but what was not the comic book created exclusively for Todd McFarlane? At the end of 91, asked McFarlane Marvel vacation or at least that was the official version, because the editors and the author himself knew that never again.
