"Yok artık, bu kostümale yüzlerce insanın önünde performans sergileyeceksin ve benden mi çekiniyorsun?"

LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN A "STAR WARS" VILLAIN & A "LORD OF THE RINGS" ENSLAVER.

PIC INFO: Mega spotlight on the dreaded BARON KARZA, despotic ruler of the Microverse; formerly Chief Scientist and Overseer of the Body Banks. Marvel Comics. Artwork by Michael Golden.

FUN/MARVEL FACT: "Although the late-70s timing of the original Baron Karza toy figure appeared as something of a Darth Vader knockoff, it was based on the mold of the Go Nagai's super robot anime, Kotetsu Jeeg (not part of the original Microman toy line, but the toys for the show were manufactured by Takara, which made the Microman toys)."

"...THE BALEFUL BARON KARZA RIPS FREE OF THE SCREAMING HUSK OF KING ARGON!!"

"Let the storm clouds turn day to night! Let the thunder crash and lightning flash! Let the very elements signal that Baron Karza is reborn!"

"GOLDEN, FOR HIS PART, STAYED TRUE TO THE TOY DESIGN AND GAVE EVERY PIECE OF KARZA'S ARMOR A FUCNTION..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Baron Karza in centaur mode, dreaded King of Homeworld and sworn enemy of the Micronauts, artwork by the mighty Michael Golden, plus a vintage Baron Karza action figure (with Andromeda) from the Mego toyline.

MINI-OVERVIEW: "Marvel's version of Baron Karza was pure evil. Mantlo and Golden kept true to Mego's toy design, but the back story and depth of character they added to Karza should not be overlooked or understated. Mantlo created a classic villian with the Baron, a man who is evil to the core, accepts what he is and revels in it. Golden, for his part stayed true to the toy design and gave every piece of Karza's armor a function, including his ability to combine into a centaur form with his horse Andromeda."
