DEATHSTORM


Created by writer/artist Gilbert Monsanto, Deathstorm appeared in all 24 issues of Wrestle Warriors Komiks (published by Infinity Publishing Inc.) in 1993.  Like the other mainstays of that magazine, the character was based on a popular pro-wrestler of the time, namely, WWE Superstar The Undertaker.



DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING


Outworld is an afterlife dimension where the spirits of slain warriors convene to engage in never ending battle with each other.  It is also here where the celestial being known as Deathstorm stands guard over the Sphere of Infinity, which maintains the balance between good and evil throughout the universe.


When Deathstorm's power-hungry brother Zafla attempts to steal the Sphere, it breaks into several fragments which are then scattered across the Earth.  Deathstorm travels to the world of the living, inhabiting the body of a human named Jonathan, in order to recover the lost pieces and make the Sphere whole again.













DEATH
The physical embodiment of death itself, who guides Deathstorm in his quest.





















DEWINA
Deathstorm's gypsy ally and keeper of Pandora's Box.








HATE
Skull-faced, axe-wielding vigilante who possesses a fragment of the Sphere.

















DOCTOR VOODOO
Deathstorm's evil brother Zafla, who has taken the human form of a voodoo sorcerer.
 

























RESURRECTION

Deathstorm rises once again, alongside other Monsanto creations, in the 4th issue of Metropolitan, currently running online via the Rambol Komiks Magazine Facebook page.

KISIG PINOY

After the success of the video game-inspired Kick Fighter Komiks, its publisher Infinity Publishing, Inc. attempted to capitalize on another popular trend of the time: professional wrestling. The result was Wrestle Warriors Komiks, which had a very brief run in 1993. One of its featured characters was Kisig Pinoy ("Dashing Pinoy?"), who was based on wrestling superstar "Macho Man" Randy Savage.


Created by writer Geraldo Jumawan and artist Louie A. Salvio, Pikoy was a frail, mentally-challenged young lad. He then encounters a mysterious old hermit who magically transforms him into the super-strong champion of justice, Kisig Pinoy.
