Red Wolf is the name of a number of fictional characters in Marvel Comics' shared universe, the Marvel Universe. The different characters are Native American heroes with mystical powers and have a trusted wolf companion named Lobo. ==Publication history== Red Wolf is Marvel's first Native American superhero.〔(Comic Book Nation: The Transformation of Youth Culture in America )〕 The William Talltrees version of Red Wolf first appeared in the story "The Coming of Red Wolf!" published in ''Avengers'' #80 (cover-dated Sept. 1970), and was created by Roy Thomas and John Buscema.〔(Multicultural Comics: From Zap to Blue Beetle )〕 The character appeared also in the next issue. Shortly afterward, Marvel editor-in-chief Stan Lee began prominently incorporating minorities and female characters into the Marvel lineup. The character became the star of the nine-issue series ''Red Wolf'' (May 1972 - Sept. 1973). The stories delved into American Indian culture and were set in the Old West.〔 These adventures featured Johnny Wakely in issues #1-6 and Thomas Thunderhead in #7-9, both Red Wolf predecessors of William Talltrees. The Wakely version lives in the late 19th century and appeared in subsequent comic books about the Old West. The Thunderhead version lives in the 1970s and was never used again. In 1976, writer Tony Isabella made the Talltrees version and the superheroine Tigra a team in ''Marvel Chillers'' #3, 5 and 6. In the issue #7, Jim Shooter wrote a story where the two superheroes fought the Super Skrull. Years later, in the story "You Get What You Need!" published in ''The Incredible Hulk'' vol. 2, #265 (Nov. 1981), writer Bill Mantlo and penciller Sal Buscema created the superhero team the Rangers, consisting of Western characters Bonita Juarez / Firebird, Victoria Starvin / Shooting Star, Drew Daniels / Texas Twister, Hamilton Slade / Phantom Rider, then called Night Rider, and William Talltrees, the contemporary Red Wolf. In ''Fantastic Four Annual'' #25 (Oct. 1992), writer Mark Gruenwald and penciller Herb Trimpe created the Anachronauts, Kang the Conqueror's personal guard. Among them, there was Wildrun, the first of the Red Wolves. The character appeared in subsequent comic books featuring the Anachronauts until his last appearance in ''Avengers Forever'' #3 (February 1999). The Wakely version of Red Wolf appeared in 2000's ''Blaze of Glory: The Last Ride of the Western Heroes''. John Ostrander, the creator of this comic book series, remade the character as a western vigilante.〔(Native Americans in Comic Books: A Critical Study ), p.34-35〕 In 2006, Red Wolf has an entry in the ''Marvel Westerns: Outlaw Files'' (June 2006).〔(Outlaw Files ) at marvunapp.com〕 The same year, writer Karl Kesel and penciller Carmine Di Giandomenico wrote a story on the Wakely version of Red Wolf in ''Mighty Marvel Western - Western Legends'' #1 (September 2006). Johnny Wakely also appeared in 2010's ''Rawhide Kid: The Sensational Seven''. The series includes a mix of actual, real world Western heroes and ones from Marvel continuity.〔(Tuesday Q&A: Ron Zimmerman )〕 In an interview with Comic Book Resources, writer Ron Zimmerman revealed that Red Wolf and his canine companion Lobo would get a bit of a reinvention in the series. He pointed to Red Wolf as his favorite character in the book, next to Rawhide Kid and expressed an interest in writing a spinoff title starring the character. "Red Wolf is probably the only one on the team that is the intellectual equal of Rawhide Kid," said the writer. "I would liken him a little bit to Hank McCoy. He's incredibly well educated and very articulate. This isn't Tonto. This guy will hopefully read as funny, because he's nothing like any other Native American of that day - other than the fact that he's not crazy about white people. He's a little bit of a racist. But still, he's a hero." In a 2011 interview, writer Jason Aaron revealed that in his original outline of ''Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine'', the title characters would have been stranded in the 15th century where Spider-Man would have started the New World Avengers with Sasquatch, Red Wolf and an Aztec Ghost Rider. The following year, writer Chris Yost chose the Texas team the Rangers to come into conflict with Houston's new superhero Scarlet Spider in the story "The Second Master" in ''Scarlet Spider'' #7-9. In 2015, a Red Wolf from an alternate universe appears in the series ''1872''. In this universe, the Marvel heroes lives in a Wild West environment.〔("Secret Wars" Launches Marvel Western "1872" From Duggan, Shaner )〕〔(Preview: 1872 #1 )〕 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「Red Wolf (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
