Death's Head |
Who?
Mainly from Marvel UK division, the Minion
cyborg was created in the alternate/potential
future of the year 2020 by Doctor Necker to
prevent an unknown threat to A.I.M. that had
been foreseen by their Precognitive Data
Collection. He was sent out to acquire the
instincts of 106 of the most deadly individuals
in the galaxy, using A.I.M central as his base
of operations. |
Re-Inventing the Wheel
Death's Head, originally the symbol for the Nazi
foot soldiers, was a symbol of tyranny and
opression in the World War II onslaught of the
reign of Hitler. A young man in modern times is
enlisted by an ancient governing committee of
the space time continuum and is sent into the
early nineteen hundreds to assassinate powerful
and well known officials of the Nazi reich which
the council has marked, thanks to supernatural
informants, as demonic entities sent to
extinguish not just the Jewish race, but the
human race through a gradual form of
manipulation and terror. Armed with
teleportation powers, and a special knife given
by them, he must now corrupt the Nazi forces and
assassinate them one by one to prevent them
living on into the future to wreak havoc on
future generations. He is guided by his belt
which bears the symbol of the death's head which
provides him with knowledge of the demonic
entities, their powers, and glows whenever one
approaches. The Death 's Head is not a simple
tool, but a conscious and seemingly intelligent
device that can guide our hero into his dark
deeds, which would also include drifting back
and forth in time to stop the demons. |
