Killpower

Killpower (Julius Mullarkey) is a fictional British comic book character from Marvel UK. He is the partner of Motormouth and first appeared in Motormouth #1. Killpower was created by Gary Frank and Graham Mark.

Publication history

After his initial appearance in Motormouth, Killpower went on to gain a self-titled limited series. After that his series and Motormouth's were combined and renamed Motormouth and Killpower, often with Killpower's name appearing handwritten or scrawled below Motormouth's as if in afterthought, possibly as a reference to Motormouth's view of him as being a hanger-on.

He, along with Motormouth, appeared in Paul Cornell's Captain Britain and MI13 in 2009 and then later in the 2014 Revolutionary War miniseries.

Fictional character biography

Killpower is a genetically engineered super-being made by Gena-Sys Labs, secretly a subsidiary of Mys-Tech. He was made by the mad scientist Dr. Oonagh Mullarkey, using both human and animal DNA, as a form of expendable supersoldier, and designed to mature at a rapid rate. He was given the name "Julius Mullarkey" by his creator, and by the age of 18 months reached his adult size of 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 m) and 325 pounds. He had a childlike mentality, but was not taught any morals and had no understanding of concepts like the value of human life. He took a great interest in guns and other weapons, the bigger the better, but regarded shooting people as a game.
