Daimon Hellstrom, also known as the Son of Satan and Hellstorm, is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe. ==Publication history== Encouraged by the success of the titles ''Ghost Rider'' and ''The Tomb of Dracula'', both of which starred occult characters, Stan Lee proposed a series starring Satan, to be titled ''The Mark of Satan''. Editor Roy Thomas had reservations about this idea and suggested a series focusing on the son of Satan instead. (Due to an oversight, "The Mark of Satan" is mentioned in a blurb in ''Ghost Rider'' #1.〔) According to Thomas, Lee approved of the idea, and Gary Friedrich and Herb Trimpe were assigned the task of designing the character. However, Trimpe denies this, claiming Friedrich alone designed Daimon Hellstrom and only brought him in as artist after the character was fully realized. Thomas has said he later realized that a 1960s fanzine character created by his friend Biljo White had looked very similar.〔 As Thomas recalled in 2001, The character Daimon Hellstrom first appeared in ''Ghost Rider'' vol. 1, #1 (Sept. 1973), then was spun off into a feature, "Son of Satan", in ''Marvel Spotlight'' #12–24 (Oct. 1973 – Oct. 1975). During the "Son of Satan" run, ''Marvel Spotlight'' was a controversial series, with numerous readers writing to object to the depictions of satanism and wiccanism as being either inaccurate or furthering the cause of evil. Nonetheless, sales were strong, prompting Marvel to launch the character into his own series, ''Son of Satan'', written by John Warner. The character's success faded soon after the series launch, and ''Son of Satan'' was cancelled with issue #7, though an unused fill-in was published as ''Son of Satan'' #8 (Feb. 1977).〔 Hellstrom became a recurring character in ''Defenders'', Steve Gerber having added the character to the team during the time he was writing the "Son of Satan" feature in ''Marvel Spotlight'', and Hellstrom continued to appear in ''Defenders'' following the cancellation of ''Marvel Spotlight''. One of the later writers on ''Defenders'', J. M. DeMatteis, featured a number of subplots focused on Daimon Hellstrom, commenting that he "was absolutely my favorite character. Characters like Son of Satan are a wonderful metaphor for what we all contain, good and evil, high and low aspirations. He's literally the son of the Devil, trying not to be what his father is. For a writer like me, how can you not feast on that?"〔 In 1993, he once more received his own series with ''Hellstorm: Prince of Lies''. As suggested by the title, his surname was spelled "Hellstorm" during this series. Rafael Nieves wrote the first 4 issues; Len Kaminski took over as scripter until issue #11. Warren Ellis then took over as writer until the series's cancellation with #21. 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「Daimon Hellstrom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
