The Lord of the Shadows, Zartan.

After the collapse of the American economy, due to corporations relocating overseas leaving the American consumers unable to replenish our system with value, a second Civil War broke out. Rioting and looting then spread across he fifty states like a tidal wave. In attempts to regain control, our government declared martial law and bloodshed then splashed the soil across our nation leaving the surface of what we once called home, an unburied graveyard. American civilians, now titled Dreadnoks, became scavengers starving for survival.

Zartan was born in a Dreadnok campground that was once used as a graveyard at the peak of the war. Decaying corpses contaminated the the ground turning the area into a cesspool. As an infant, Zartan was abandoned in such a place. The infant survived for three days by feeding on the decaying meat that remained on the surfaced corpses. He was discovered by two very young teenagers who took him in and raised him. They taught him how to survive in a new world. He later then began to call them his brother and sister. Zartan developed a strange disease from his survival as an infant that now runs through his blood stream. The disease reacts to direct photosynthesis causing his blood to boil and his tissue to burn dooming him to live behind a shadow.


What an interesting character. I love how the action figure changes colors in the sunlight. I thought that Zartan should be the only one with this strange quality. That's why in my Joe-verse, Zandar and Zarana are non-relatives. And what about his voice?? WOW!! I never liked his invisibility or morphing capabilities because that is unexplainable unless he was a science project. And there is only room for one science project in my Joe-verse.

Thank you for looking.
