Killraven was one of those properties that I was aware of but never got around to checking out. I didn't really get that costume of his. I guess he wanted to protect his left shoulder, but wasn't as concerned with the rest of his torso? Also, thigh-high buccaneer boots seem like a pain to walk around in, let alone run in.

Perhaps Killraven could team up with his British cousin Apeslayer... ;)
What happened to Superman? I don’t see him.
With that outfit maybe the producers of Magic Mike should work on bringing Killy to the big screen.
Killraven was written by the great Don McGregor . i've reread the run of amazing adventures many times over the decades . it still holds up well . if you get the chance Ross , it's worth reading .
This adventure takes a comical turn when the "Martian Menace" turns out to be Marvin.
@Anon705: He's the bearded guy in the background. I think that image is from a pre-Flashpoint story (either the late Nineties or early 2000's) where he got inadvertently sent to some distant post-apocalyptic future...where's he tutored in survivalism by Vandal Savage.
@Ross: tell that to the Black Scorpion. ;-D
P.S.---for equally riveting takes on HGW's classic sci-fi novel, I would recommend "Superman: War of the Worlds" (DC Elseworlds, 1998) and, of course, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume 2 (tpb edition if you can find it).
I kind of liked that story! I fantasized that the apes were Ogrons who had finally overthrown their Dalek masters. Only to follow in their all-conquering tread marks!
This is from Action Comics Annual 2. It was the second phase of the Exile storyline where Superman exiled himself from Earth. It introduced the device that would become the Eradicator. It was also the bases for the Justice League Unlimited episode you are referencing.
Thanks! :-)
The boots can be surprisingly comfortable, if they fit well. I'm mostly with you on the shoulder armor, though; maybe he figures he can parry anything coming for his right shoulder, and the mid-torso isn't threatened enough to be worth the weight? (Or, at least, his costume designer does.)
On a related note, I can imagine Edna Node telling this version of Supes, "For you, I make an exception. Keep the cape!"
But, who would play the title role? Channing Tatum or Tom Cruise?
Super-LOL! X-D
Wasn't Killraven originally some kind of gladiator for the "Martian Masters" (before escaping with M'shulla and Old Skull)?.
Maybe that's the way his trainers had his armor fashioned for him.
Sounds about right;
Luckily Clark had a no -kill policy that was still in effect.
Martian Manhunter might have fit in here even better than Superman, if we were going for irony.
"Jonn Jonzz, Warlord of Earth?"
