ROM: Greatest of the Spaceknights!

49 posts in this topic

Plud he was in Universe X

Universe X #3

In issue #3, Captain America, a reincarnated Captain Mar-Vell, and Kazar travel to Limbo. There they encounter Rom, back in his human form, who appears to be trapped there. Rom is using the front half of the torso of his armor as a shield and weilding his Neutralizer. He helps Cap & co. against the Dire Wraiths attacking them. Then Mephisto shows up. Discussion ensues and as Cap & co. are going to depart, Rom gives Captain America his Neutralizer to use against his enemies during his quest.

 

Incidentally, because Marvel no longer has the Rom license, he's never named. When Captain America first sees him, he exclaims, "the greatest of the Spaceknights!" (Yeah, that sounds natural.) After that, even the narrarator doesn't mention his presence.

 

In #4, Captain America attempts to use the Neutralizer to neutralize Death. Not only does it not work, it destroys the Neutralizer. And that's the end of that.

Moon Knight appeared in one frame in a ROM book.

One frame to many

 

Then there was that Eros Comics knock off comic where Moon Knight offered to give Rom the Fist of Khonshu.

#1 is a Frank Miller cover, and he does a couple more sweet covers (X-Men I believe) later in the series.

 

Issues 17 and 18. 18 with the battle scene in the blowing snow is really sweet. Hybrid scared me as a kid. :eek:
