Obscuralia twelve


And we are back, Obscuralia twelve focuses on a little known DCU character named Marcus Locke from Secrets of Haunted House #45 (February 1982) in a story titled "Passing of the Power".



Marcus inherits great power and responsibility from his dying father in the form of a cosmic or possibly magical brassard.





Marcus is scrawny, Steve Rogers pre Vita-Ray scrawny. And seriously Marcus, growing up in New York, I learned that you keep the weird shit indoors. So maybe you try that on in the safety of your bedroom first?



Suddenly Marcus is magically transformed into a poorcopy of He-Man of Eternia. Or better yet Bo-Starr of Galastrom.




And that's all folks. Marcus Locke never re-appeared. If this was a Marvel title he'd already have a brace of stories under his belt. But this is DC Comics, so Marcus Locke will most likely be ignored and forgotten, until he eventually ends up in a Public Domain rubbish tip.
