Rune is a fictional vampire-like being from Malibu Comics' ''Ultraverse'' imprint. He was created by Barry Windsor-Smith and Chris Ulm, and first appeared as a back-up story in ''Sludge'' #1. ==Fictional character biography== Rune was a human-like alien in the Ultraverse, until he acquired the Star Stones, magical artifacts which made him virtually immortal, but cursed him with a monstrous form and a vampiric thirst for blood. Ages ago, he found himself stranded on Earth, and has been both worshipped as a god and reviled as a demon throughout history. In issue 1 of his ongoing series, Rune seeks out super-powered teenagers, unaware of their government connections and robotic protection. Rune is captured and seemingly absorbed by a government computer system.〔''Rune'' #1 (January 1994). Malibu Comics〕 Rune is noted not for just drinking blood, but eating the entirety of his victims, such as one of the powered beings created in the 1993 first issue of the Strangers (Malibu Comics) series. His powers had led him to predict the incident so he lay in wait and planned so he could kidnap and consume one of the passengers.〔''Freex'' #4 (October 1993). Malibu Comics〕 Later, Rune goes on a cross-country quest to save a woman from a cult that calls her 'Pandora'. Rune's true goal is to protect the cult's plan from raising the mad god 'Argus' from the woman's murder. In issue nine, Rune fails and Argus arises.〔''Rune'' #9 (April 1995). Malibu Comics〕 This ties directly into the 1994-1995 four-issue limited series ''Godwheel''. Issue 9 also features Rune's son, stuck in the same 'entity' as his sister sibling. The male half is good and the female half is evil. The son is being assisted by a mysterious man named Janus and their trip does not go well. In a flip book published in the same month, Rune fights the Silver Surfer. 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「Rune (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
