Entire figure: Mag Warriors Hawkblade
Cape: Magneto
Karza was one custom I wanted to make as a follow-up to Bug. Bekker came up with the idea of using the magnet figure as a base. I thought it was a great idea. With some paint and resculpting it turned into a great Karza figure. Perfect for 1:18th scale too.
Bio #1-
Baron Karza - The evil tyrant of Homeworld, Chief Scientist Karza was once a normal human being who scientifically and mystically bonded himself to a suit of ebon armor. Karza was able to transmute his form from humanoid into a centaur-like form (that looked identical to when the upper part of the Baron Karza toy was attached to the lower half of the Andromeda figure). Karza was killed in issue #58 of the series, but he appeared in the comic in flashbacks in Vol. 2, and his armor was donned by Commander Rann (Space Glider) in Vol. 2, #19.
Bio #2-
Baron Karza: Homeworld's former chief scientist, Baron Karza was a genius in biological engineering. He bribes all of Homeworld's citizens with the promise of eternal life via the science of his body banks. Thus, not everyone is unhappy with Karza's new reign, at least not in the beginning. But Karza's rule is enforced by his endless supply of dog soldiers and bioengineered creatures proves to be a nightmare inflicted upon Homeworld. And many former Karza supporters eventually lend their aid to rebellion. In his own communion with the emissaries of the Enigma Force (The Time Travellers), Baron Karza comes to the realization that what he seeks is more than mere power. orbex rocket And though his science has effectively made him immortal, his essence and emotions are still that of man.
Although Karza was able to transcend his organic body and become a being of pure energy, Karza denies the Time Travellers' offer of godhood. Karza re-evaluates his philosophy and concludes that true godhood cannot be obtained without the understanding of what one needs to experience in order for one's soul (as opposed to one's mere body) to transcend physicality. Thus, Karza, in committing one unspeakably inhuman act after another, believes that he will become indifferent to the concept of wielding power over the living. And that, eventually, he will achieve a fulfillment that, for the moment, he can't begin to comprehend.
