Quasar (Wendell Elvis Vaughn) is a fictional superhero that appears in comic books which are set in the . He is one of Marvel's cosmic heroes, a character whose adventures frequently take him into outer space or other dimensions. However, Quasar deviates from the archetype of the noble, dauntless alien set by such Silver Age cosmic heroes as the Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock and Captain Mar-Vell in that he is an everyman. He starred in an eponymous monthly ongoing series written by Mark Gruenwald that ran for sixty issues beginning in 1989 and has served as a member of The Avengers. In 2012, Quasar was ranked 36th in IGN's list of "The Top 50 Avengers". ==Publication history== The character first appeared as Marvel Boy in ''Captain America'' #217 (January, 1978). He continued to make guest appearances in ''Captain America'', ''The Incredible Hulk'', ''Marvel Two-in-One'', and ''Avengers''. He was revamped as Quasar by Mark Gruenwald, and first appeared under this new name in ''The Incredible Hulk'' #234 (April 1979). Quasar received an eponymous series in October 1989, written by Mark Gruenwald and illustrated by Paul Ryan and Danny Bulanadi. The title crossed over with ''Infinity Gauntlet'', ''Operation: Galactic Storm'', and ''Infinity War''. Later, the New Universe's Star Brand was introduced into the Marvel Universe. Its presence precipitated into the ''Starblast'' crossover, which was intended to stir up interest in Quasar's solo series or a prospective cosmic team series starring Quasar, but it failed to do so. ''Quasar'' was cancelled at issue #60. He would appear sporadically over the next several years. The character appeared in the 1996 ''Star Masters'' miniseries (as well as ''Cosmic Powers Unlimited'' & ''Silver Surfer'' vol 3 #123) as part of a team of cosmic heroes with the Silver Surfer and Beta Ray Bill. He also appeared in the ''Avengers: Infinity'' miniseries, ''Maximum Security'' (2000), and ''Fantastic Four'' #521-524 (2006). Quasar appeared and died in the four-issue mini-series ''Annihilation: Nova'' (June-Sept. 2006). He appeared as a spirit in ''Annihilation: Conquest: Quasar'' #1-4 (Sept.-Dec. 2007), by writer Christos Gage and penciller Mike Lilly. An astral form of Quasar had a recurring role in ''Nova'' vol 4 beginning with issue #17, as the writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (known collectively as DnA) thought he was too useful a character to stay dead: The character regained a physical form in the ''Realm of Kings'' one-shot (2009) and played a role in ''The Thanos Imperative'' (2010). Quasar assumed the leadership role of the titular team in ''Annihilators'' #1-4 (2011) and ''Annihilators: Earthfall'' (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「Quasar (Wendell Vaughn)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
