Poll: Deadliest Immortal

It’s been awhile since we’ve had a comic book battle, so here is the next installment.  Throughout time, some immortals have threatened the universe, while others have fought to protect it.  In DC comics, the villain Vandal Savage, has gone up against the best and won.  Marvel Comics has shown that Apocalypse works to ensure survival of the fittest.  Dynamite Entertainment published a limited series based on the Highlander series and films, and brings Duncan MacLeod to cut off any immortal’s head that stands in hi s way.  Finally, sCrypt Comics antagonist Cain has been wreaking havoc ever since killing his brother Abel long ago.  Below will be a brief description of each, followed by the poll.  Cast your vote, or click other and add your own choice for immortal.

The Marvel Comics universe is threatened by the oldest mutant on the planet.  Born with gray skin and blue lips over 5,000 years ago, En Sabah Nur was abandoned by his parents and raised by ruthless generals.  As he rose up through the ranks, he eventually came into possession of a suit created by Kang the Conquerer’s race.  He has lived for millenia, died, and been brought back on numerous occasions.  Feared by most who oppose his rule of survival of the fittest, he has become known as Apocalypse.  He can alter his molecular structure in any way, shape, or size, and can generate energy and manipulate his own density.  He is virtually unstoppable and immortal.  Apocalypse first appeared in X-Factor #6 in July 1986.

A lowly Caveman was exposed to a meteor during the prehistoric era.  Immediately gaining a genius level intellect, enhanced physical abilities, and immortality, he used these abilities to school himself in all forms of warfare and combat.  For over 50,000 years Vandal Savage has sought to conquer the DC Comics earth.  It is assumed that he was in fact key people throughout history including but not limited to Jack the Ripper, Julius Cesar, and Genghis Kahn.  Vandal Savage first appeared in Green Lantern Vol 1 #10 in 1943.

Dynamite Entertainment brought the famed series Highlander to the comics.  Duncan MacLeod has been revealed as the immortal who will be the only one.  His clan of MacLeods have been around for centuries, but he is the one who is to rise to the top.  By beheading other immortals, he gains their knowledge and abilities through the Quickening.  Any immortal who has stood against him has eventually failed, and lost their heads.  He can only die by having his own head removed, and finding someone capable of doing that has so far been impossible.  Highlander comics first appeared in November 2007.

A major antagonist in the sCrypt Comics universe is known mainly for his roles in the novels.  Cain was first born of Adam and Eve, and the first person to commit murder.  For his wrongdoing, he had the mark of immortality placed upon him.  For millenia he lived as a vampire, eventually graduated to a new form as a lycan lord, and after his body was disintegrated in a nuclear explosion, his soul remained behind as a wraith.  By devouring other lost souls, he eventually gained enough power to interact with the physical realm, and through body possession was able to open a gateway to heaven and hell.  There, he seeks out one thing…  His will is to exact revenge for his immortal curse by killing the One True God.  Cain first appeared in “Flesh And Leftovers” the novel in 2010, and his first comic book appearance was in “Blood The Second Helping: Legends Of Vampire” in 2011.
