Having witnessed the costumed heroes of the United Kingdom saving reality from Mys-tech (during MYS-TECH WARS ), the Time Guardian decides to gather a group of them to form his own Dark Guard to oppose Mys-Tech at a higher level. The Guardian selects Death's Head (the Minion cyborg), Dark Angel , Albion (of the Knights of Pendragon ), Colonel Tigon Liger & Stacy Arnheim (both of the hi-tech Warheads ), Motormouth and Killpower and adds a new hero, Ultra Marine , to lead them. Of course, these guys don't tend to play by the rules and can barely be considered 'heroes' at all! It seems there were bigger plans for the Dark Guard, but the Marvel UK titles were cancelled soon after the mini-series ended. Dark Guard Gold #1 would have picked up their story, but it was never to be. Instead, many of these characters would be united in a very different way in the REVOLUTIONARY WAR event twenty years later. [MYS-TECH WARS - The UK heroes save reality] Motormouth ...

When Marvel UK rejigged Death's Head  in the early '90s, he proved to be pretty popular. More so than any of the other characters that launched around that time, they figured they'd just make more characters almost exactly like him and watch the money roll in! The  Death 3  mini-series introduced two more Minion cyborgs; Death-Wreck was the prototype that preceded Death's Head, while Death Metal would be Dr Evelyn Necker 's newer, deadlier design. Both cyborgs gained their own solo mini-series after that (with Death-Wreck's taking place before  Death 3 ), but eveb Death's Head's own series was cancelled before his brothers' titles would wrap up. The comics boom was coming to an abrupt end and pretty much all of Marvel UK's titles soon disappeared from the shelves with numerous scheduled titles never seeing print. While we'd see Death's Head pop up again (primarily in 2014's REVOLUTIONARY WAR ), Death Metal and Death-Wreck have not ...

Everyone knows corporations are evil. Every single one of them. Mys-Tech are no exception. Especially as their board made a deal with Mephisto for power and immortality in exchange for the funnelling of souls straight into his dimension way back in 987AD. The deal's done alright for them over the years, but now they want out... In recent weeks, the London-based chemical company has made a number of super-powered enemies whose origins tie directly into their own magickal activities. Now all of those new foes - from the UK-based Dark Ange l, Motormouth , Killpower and the Knights of Pendragon to the time-travelling Death's Head - are about to come after them all at once. And they're bringing the Avengers , X-Men and more! Mys-Tech are growing a perfect replica of the real planet Earth called the UnEarth. Once it's fully-grown, they'll tinker with it to suit their needs and replace the original with a world they control. Marvel UK's line of titles didn't ...
