Leaving aside all the ludicrously evil things he did, and the fact he was literally Hitler (and Col. Chivington, and Matthew Hopkins, and the original Torquemada), Torquemada was an extremist who let nothing stand in the way of his crusade. You can feel at least a little bit of empathy for him, because you can see the events that led him to become the person we see in the strip and he genuinely did love some of the other people in his life, but he allowed his hatred to destroy him and everyone around him.

Something similar happens to Nemesis as the conflict between the two escalates over the series. Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

So deep and dark, bro, I bet the chicks really dig that your shit is all twisted and tormented.

I, on the other hand, will be over here having a fucking blast right up until I die, at which time I will cease having fun and just stop having much of anything.

Then why not fill what's in between with something you enjoy? But you're right, being self righteously miserable because your parents and other "real grown ups" were is a personality trait that's attractive, endearing and healthy. I'm so glad you learned this valuable lesson from them and didn't decide how to live your own life

>>83240601
For the most part aliens aren't a threat to earth. We are told that aliens have been settling on earth for centuries without any trouble. Torquemada is just exploiting prejudice and the actions of a few trouble makers like Nemesis to build up his own power base.

Stop me if any of this starts to sound familiar

Its inspired more by Klan robes and the Capirote hoods worn by Nazarenos in Spain, with some medieval armour and Vader thrown in as well. GW stole that because GW steals everything.

>>83240994
The bit I really like about Deadlock's design is that it takes influences from Nemesis and Torquemada. He was created thousands of years before the Nemesis comic by the society that would become the Termight Empire, so you can see the grilles and knightly flourishes, but you can also see elements of the Chaos worshipping Nemesis in things like the nose spike.

Mek-quake best bot though.

Look. Humanity is like a big stare case. A person makes a view steps dies and others must continue where he stoped. You propose to spit on 2000 years of adcance just for the sake of feeling special about your ass. All pioneer and going your oun way shit. Your ass is not special. You will turn to dust like all before you.

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not here, but if you're serious you really shouldn't have opened with a picture of Torquemada of Termight.

How did folks fancy the ending with Nemesis and Torquemada fused to the Blitzspear for all eternity? I asume that hasn't been retconned since. The Trial of Torquemada was pretty cool too.

Of course my ass ain't special, making your own decisions has nothing to do with however many years of advances your civilization built up. I am made of dust and in the blink of an eye, at literally any time, I can and will return to it. I understand that, that's why what I do with my insignificant, shortlived existence is my business. I'll spit on whoever I damn well please because it doesn't matter anyway. I'm dust, you're dust, those 2000 years of progress are dust. You and I will die and nobody will remember us. I just don't understand why you think that means the only way out is despair

The Female is a socially backward human weapon who literally eats people. Frenchie is an ex-Legionnaire and occasional psychopath who adores her. In order to curb her of her self-destructive violent tendencies and habit of taking hitman odd jobs from the Mafia, he plies her with Chocolate Limes and old progs of 2000AD. Because he cares.
