These are two characters that I really want to see on the big screen. Deathlok's appearance on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was low rent and underwhelming, he realy needs a proper chance to shine. Etrigan has never even had a chance at live action. I bet James Gunn could have a lot of fun with him.

Ah, yes! I recognize that giant mutant spider; one of Kirby's Kreatures. But, if I recall correctly (from a reprint of the original story), that spider was blown up trying to eat a guided missile! So, Deathlok could give this one a case of equally terminal indigestion...at point-blank range.
Making Etrigan better at rhyming than prophesying.
it's the Muppets run Amok!! Deathlok will have some surprises.
"Esta arana gigante! Pero, no estoy arana. Estoy El Rey Prawn Pepe!"
Using that Kirby MTIO cover for Deathlok here was a brilliant choice. It's too bad Kirby never did a Deathlok series. I think the character fit his style, both visually and writing-wise- Deathlok's future world was a bit like a cross between Kamandi's world and OMAC's world, after all. And Kirby's writing style worked particularly well for quirky, mind-bendingly weird late '60s/early '70s sci-fi-film-style future worlds, as far as I'm concerned.
I hope Deathlok has a cybernetic heart immune to psychological shock. Because if I saw that critter coming at me like that, I am sure I would have immediate heart failure! (shudders!)
Also, I think Deathlok and OMAC would make a good combination; assuming you haven't already done that.
Just checked. Yeah, you did. Thought so. I never seem to think of such ideas before you. But I'll keep trying.
Now that you mention it, it is a li surprising that we haven't had at least Jason Blood in live action, let alone his demonic alter ego. Smallville would've been a really fun place to use him, but better yet… Legends of Tomorrow! They actually went to Camelot and meet the Knights of the Round Table! Yet, no Jason Blood and/or Etrigan? Oh well, no better time to resolve this, with Gunn in charge!
This giant spider, though, is from JOURNEY INNTO MYSTERY v.1/#73 (Oct. 1961).
Given that the original Deathlok had a bayonet that could magnetically adhere to one of his metal legs, the erstwhile Luther Manning (initially from Earth-691) could very well cut his way out of this arachnoid's stomach!
Well, you know what they say, Ben; "You can get more with a kind word and James Gunn than you can with just a kind word."
