Questions about Malibu Comics
Can someone give me a short description of each issue and the character's powers/abilities?

I'm talking about the Malibu Genesis line. And that link doesn't give any character bios or descriptions on each book, which is what I'm looking for. Thanks for trying to help though, I appreciate it.tictuck wrote:If you are talking about the Malibu Ultraverse heres a link that might help, careful don't read too much on this site it may ruin a few stories for you basically a "SPOILER ALERT" possibillity

There is a Whos/Whos link on the side which can give you a description of The Protectors characters, which IMO was the best book of the whole line that I've read so far . Knightt may have more knowledge about the other books IE. Dinosaurs for Hire and such. I'm not sure he's in the building right now but we can try

Ok, now that I have some time to sit down and talk about it -
Malibu comics can be divided into several major areas. The best known are the Ultraverse imprint, the Bravura imprint, the Genesis imprint and the Star Trek licensed comics. There were other comics that Malibu put out, and Malibu also printed under the name Eternity. As many know, Malibu Comics was ultimately purchased by Marvel comics and although it was a strong stable within the House of Ideas at first, the quality was simply not there and it whithered and died.
The best known is probably Ultraverse. Ultraverse was a stand alone continuity consisting of many titles and I have drawn many similarities between Ultraverse and Valiant. There was a very tight continuity between the books (at first), you could argue for a UH1 and UH2, Marvel did to Malibu what Acclaim did to Valiant, and there was an early, all-titles cross-over (Break-Thru). The Ultraverse grew very quickly; it launched with three titles - Hardcase, Prime and the Strangers - and added two titles a month for the first several months it was active. Stand out titles for me have been Hardcase, Mantra and Exiles. Some basic background information: most of the Ultras (as they call superhumans) became super-powered in the Jumpstart Effect. In the Strangers #1, a lightning bolt strikes a railcar in San Francisco carrying 60 or so people and they all gain some sort of super-powers. However, there was a smaller, less dramatic Jumpstart Effect that had happened centered in LA a year or so earlier. Hardcase was one of those that was affected in that first jumpstart, which made him the longest-standing superhero at the beginning of the Ultraverse. One thing about characters in the Ultraverse - their names are all kinda silly. Dirt Devil, Headknocker, NM-E (enemy).
Some character backgroud information:
Hardcase - Struggling actor Tom Hawke is caught up in the first Jumpstart Effect in Ultraverse Year Zero (about 1992). He joins together with three other people who have been likewise affected and the form the Squad. Tom takes the name Hardcase because he is nigh indestructible and very strong. The Squad realizes that they can become quite the commodity and decide to help people and make money (a theme that pops up more than once). They are offered a chance to work with the city of LA (as opposed to being prosecuted for vigilanteism) and things are good for a while. They were ineffective during the LA Riots following the Rodney King trial, and shortly after that fight NM-E, a big mean Alien-looking (from the Sigourney Weaver franchise) robot, who kills two of the Squad and puts the third, who happens to be Hardcase' girlfriend in a coma. Hardcase retires from superheroing and goes into acting, where he manages to preserve his hefty income and notable celebrity. This all happens before Hardcase 1. Hardcase 1 starts in Ultraverse Year One. Hardcase is making a movie when another ultra is robbing a nearby bank and he ends up going to help foil the bank robbery. He fights the good fight again, but a policeman he was acquainted with was killed in the fiasco, so he decides to take up superhero-ing again. He meets a woman named Choice, who suffers from amnesia and was basically a spokesmodel for the Choice corporation. She trusts Hardcase for reasons she cannot understand and is somehow linked to his comatose girlfriend.
One of the villains I really liked from Hardcase was Hardwire. He was a scummy little *SQUEE* who could make molecule-wide filaments extend from his fingers and is the only thing to ever cut Hardcase. He was hired to kill Hardcase and gets captured making a detour to go kill a bunch of asian gangsters in their homes. He pops up again a couple of times.
Mantra - Lukasz was a warrior in the service of Archmage for 15 centuries. When his bodies died, his soul was transferred to another body, displacing that host. Archmage was attacked by his brother, Boneyard, and in the final ruckus, as many of the warriors as could be were sent to new bodies and Archmage is imprisoned by Boneyard. Lukasz was special; he was always destined to inhabit this final body, a lovely woman named Eden. Eden is a divorced mother of two, and Lukasz now has to deal with being a woman for the first time and a whole new mess of problems being a single mother. Lukasz was commissioned with the mantra of change, growth and power and is named Mantra by the press for talking about it during battle. Mantra finds two of the other warriors who inhabit the body of an old blind man and a dog. The blind man tells Mantra that one of them betrayed Archmage. Matra has to fight to free Archmage, find the betrayer and deal with being a single mother. She ends up working for Aladdin (big, secret organization big on world domination - more on them later).
Strangers - 60 or so people are riding in a trolly in San Francisco that is struck by weird lightning. Later that night, there was an incident downtown and several of the newly powered ultras show up to help. The incident was with Yrial, a woman from a floating island that was passing over San Francisco. The strangers team up and track her down on the floating island and they all form a band... er, super-team. Whatever. Anyway, it turns out that they are quite the diverse bunch with a gay italian guy, two white college guys, a hispanic woman, a black kid, a centuries-old carribean woman from a floating island in the sky and a redhaired female android. There is some obligatory diversity crap that reminded me of a letter that appeared in the back of (X-O 3?) where Shooter replied that he hated attempts to ethnically balance any group of more than three people and found such things disengenuous and insultingly fake. Shooter's a great guy like that. And one of the guys calls himself Atom Bob. That's great.
Exiles - it's been a while since I read Exiles, so my details might be a little fuzzy. There's a woman who is kind of a Professor X type going around recruiting emerging ultras and training them, but (of course) she has her rival/Magneto who is also trying to recruit budding ultras and training them to be evil. They clash over a kid that is turning into an elephant-thing and a mall is destroyed. The good professor lady bring Amber Hunt to her special, high-tech island and is trying to convince her to become an Exile and Amber is not convinced. Not to spoil it, but there's a big battle and several characters die. There's a letter in the back of one of the issues (3 or 4) where they say that in the Ultraverse, dead is dead and they aren't coming back. Ghoul survives and goes on to be in the Ultraforce, and he's creepy looking but a pretty fun guy to read the adventures of - witty and all that. It's a four issue limited series and was one of the first Ultraverse titles. Anyway, after the battle, Amber goes mad which feeds right into Break-Thru.
Break-Thru - It was a crossover that happened 7 months or so after the launch of the Ultraverse. It does seem a little forced to get all of the characters involved. It starts in Break-Thru 1, crosses every title and ends in Break-Thru 2. All the Ultras go to fight Rex Mundi on the moon. I don't think I've read all of it, but it doesn't really stand out, particularly compared against Unity.
The big villains and corporations:
The big villain in all of this is Rex Mundi. He's a man who's not a man and has odd powers. He lives below the earth's surface and was probably connected to the Jumpstart Effect. NM-E was his creation, specifically to kill all the Ultras from the first Jumpstart. He's got a counterpart, whose name escapes me, a woman that is generally helpful but for the most part unobtrusive in the activities of the various ultras. Up next is JD Hunt. Typical evil comic book billionaire. He had ElectroCute, the redheaded android from the Strangers, built to be his sex machine. He betrays anyone he needs to but I don't remember him getting off on world domination. He was involved in the creation of Choice and her link to Hardcase's comatose girlfriend. There's Ultratech. They created the Prototype armour and basically own the guy inside it. Aladdin is the government's super-secret organization dedicated to spying on ultras and collecting data on them.
When Malibu was bought by Marvel, you can see an almost instant drop in quality. It started in Godwheel. Thor shows up, and all of the sudden, everybody from the Marvel U shows up in Ultraverse, but rarely the other way. Prime squared off against the Hulk and Captain America. The Black Knight joins Ultraforce. Loki becomes a Mantra villain. Rune squares off against Venom, Adam Warlock and the Silver Surfer (separately). The Juggernaut and a couple of other, lesser-known X-Villains join a reformed and totally unconnected Exiles. In the middle of this is Black October, where all the Ultraverse books are cancelled 2 years after they started and 7 are relaunched (out of over a dozen). If you separate Ultraverse into UH1 and UH2 (which I've never seen officially mentioned) I'd consider Black October the separator. In late UH1, there's a story with the Infinity Gems where they discover a seventh infinity gem (Ego) and most agregiously there's NO THANOS INVOLVEMENT. Loki! Loki's the one after the recollected Infinity Gems! The X-Men show up every other month. The only really good books of that era are the Lord Pumpkin one-shot (dude is a great villain) and the NecroMantra/Lord Pumpkin 4-issue limited series.

Bravura
Bravura was basically a platform for putting out creator-oriented properties in the form of mini-series. I've only got three complete sets (Breed, Breed II and Dreadstar) and they are great. Peter David wrote that version of Dreadstar and Starlin did both Breeds. Other series were Edge, Star Slammers, Noturnals, Metaphysique, Man Called A-X, Strikeback and Power and Glory. I understand they are pretty cool stuff, but I am waiting to get the whole series before I read them.
Genesis
Genesis was another, self-contained continuity done by Malibu. I am not aware of any crossover between Genesis and Ultraverse. Genesis started a little earlier than Ultraverse and the titles were a little lighter. As I understand it, the flagship was Ex-Mutants, which was a continuation from a series that started in the mid-80s (by Eternity Comics, which eventually became Malibu) but was also published by other companies like Amazing. Some of the other titles were Protectors and Dinosaurs for Hire. Dinos was an especially tongue-in-cheek, lighthearted book and the Protectors had several spin-offs.
Licensed comics
Their biggest franchise was Deep Space Nine. DS9 is the best Trek, ever, and anyone who says differently is lying to you. Really, what their DS9 comics needed was more Garak, but he did have several issues that featured him. They had several DS9 mini-series, but by the time the show got really good (first contact with the Dominion/introduction of the Defiant) Malibu was defunct and they did not get to do those stories. Another license they got some tread on was Mortal Kombat. There were limited series that featured several of the main characters from the first game in combinations and even one for Goro. There were Street Fighter licensed comics and even a Bruce Lee mini-series.
"Other"
The only other comic I can think of put out by Malibu was the one with the dead clown. Was that called Dead Clown? Eternity put out a few, like Ninja High School.
Eventually, I'll probably try to work on a complete Malibu/Eternity set. Right now, I'm concentrating on Ultraverse, and that is quite a goal given all the variant covers and ashcans. Malibu put out some of the neatest incentive books ever. Those hologram covers are worth collecting the whole set just for them. One thing I wish there were more information on were the DF versions available. I think I've got 3.

There was a handbook about the Protectors line and IIRC bios of some of the characters popped up in some of the books as well. Well worth getting for extra background. Protectors was my favourite book which had the spin-offs ManoWar, Ferret (one shot then series) and Gravetsone.tictuck wrote:There is a Whos/Whos link on the side which can give you a description of The Protectors characters, which IMO was the best book of the whole line that I've read so far .

Comics imprint after Comico went under (or lost the rights) and before Academy Press got the rights, although I may be wrong about this.

I've heard before that there was at least one site dedicated to the Ultraverse line, but it is now defunct and was not nearly so thorough as this site is for Valiant (once again - a testament to the work of Greg).
Some of the guys here mention Big Tel sometimes, and he's got a site with some helpful information on a lot of the variant covers, but nothing to encyclopedic.
I'd thought about starting an Ultraverse site, but I just don't have the time for it these days.
