Captain Universe is a fictional character, a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Captain Universe was created by Bill Mantlo and Michael Golden, and first appeared in ''Micronauts'' vol. 1 #8. It is the guardian and protector of Eternity. Rather than a character with a single identity, Captain Universe is a persona that has merged with several hosts during its publication history. ==Publication history== Captain Universe hosts have appeared in either special one-shots or short stories throughout the years, initially in the first series of the ''Micronauts'' in 1979. Appearing sporadically in the 1980s in lesser titles such as ''Marvel Spotlight'' and ''Marvel Fanfare'', the Uni-Power/Captain Universes appeared infrequently in other titles, even appearing in the first ''Contest of Champions'' series. Their appearances became even scarcer in the 1990s, appearing in ''Guardians of the Galaxy'', ''What If?'', ''Amazing Spider-Man'', ''Marvel Comics Presents'' and ''Cosmic Powers Unlimited''. In 1994 Captain Universe finally gained its first one-shot, coinciding with a promotion, with the claim that readers could have a comic about themselves made for a fee. The comics were generally stock stories, with minor details (such as skin or hair color, key names or phrases, etc.) altered based on information provided by the purchaser. Veterinary student Jeff Christiansen, who would later become the force behind the resurgence of the ''Official Handbooks of the Marvel Universe'' in the mid-2000s was made the official Captain Universe of the comic so that it could be considered an in-continuity comic. The one-shot was titled ''X-Men/Captain Universe: Sleeping Giants''. In 2005, after a four-year break from comic appearances, Captain Universe returned in the second series of ''Amazing Fantasy.'' Also in 2005, a series of one-shot specials linked together by the Uni-Power/Captain Universe were released featuring different characters from the Marvel Universe as the Uni-Power each imbues them with power of Captain Universe. These titles were ''Captain Universe/Hulk'', ''Captain Universe/Daredevil'', ''Captain Universe/X-23'', ''Captain Universe/Invisible Woman'' and ''Captain Universe/Silver Surfer''. The Uni-Power made a brief appearance in ''Nextwave'', he also made a "cameo" as Cosmic Spider-Man for the variant cover of ''Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man'' #3 and played an important part in the Death's Head 3.0 saga chronicled in Amazing Fantasy. Captain Universe made his return in ''Annihilation Conquest: Star-Lord'' and then in ''Annihilation Conquest'' #3. Captain Universe later returns to stop the Juggernaut, in an attempt to fulfill his destiny, as seen in ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #627–629. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Captain Universe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
