Gladiator is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. ==Publication history== Gladiator and the Imperial Guard were created by writer Chris Claremont and artist Dave Cockrum as an homage to DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes, with all the Imperial Guard's original members created as analogs of Legionnaires. Gladiator was the analog to Superboy; the name "Gladiator" was a conscious homage to the Philip Wylie novel ''Gladiator'' on which Superman was partially based.〔In ''The X-Men Companion'', interviewer Peter Sanderson asks Gladiator co-creator Dave Cockrum, “How about the Imperial Guard? Can you give a key as to who’s who? The leader, Gladiator, is supposed to be Superboy…?” Cockrum answers, “Superboy, sure.” Later, Sanderson comments, “There’s the leader, Gladiator. Coming right from the Philip Wylie novel Superman was based on.” Cockrum replies, “That’s why we did that.” ''The X-Men Companion'', “Interview With Dave Cockrum”, Fantagraphic Books, 1982, page 82.〕 Gladiator's name, Kallark, is a combination of Superman's Kryptonian and human names: Kal-El and Clark Kent. The character first appeared in ''Uncanny X-Men'' #107 (Oct. 1977). Since then, he has been periodically featured in X-titles, ''Fantastic Four'', ''Rom the Spaceknight'', ''Silver Surfer'', ''Nova'', and ''New Warriors''. His origin was revealed in ''War of Kings: Warriors'' #1 (2009). He has played important roles in some of Marvel's major storylines, such as ''Operation: Galactic Storm'' (1992), ''Maximum Security'' (2001), and ''War of Kings'' (2009). During the ''Heroes Reborn'' era (1997), he starred in the three-issue ''Imperial Guard'' miniseries. Following the conclusion of ''The Thanos Imperative'', Gladiator has appeared as a member of the titular team in ''Annihilators'' #1-4 (Mar-Jun 2011) and ''Annihilators: Earthfall'' #1-4 (Sept-Dec 2011). 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「Gladiator (Kallark)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
