Well, good for him. Even insane criminals who want to turn everyone into dinosaurs deserve love!

Marvel Decades Fanfic -1984

The Set-up

200 million years ago the alien race the Nuwali created the Savage Lands in Antarctica as one of several planetary “game preserves” for the mysterious godlike Beyonders. The Nuwali stocked the land with earthly life of the era, most notably dinosaurs; as Earth’s flora and fauna changed over succeeding millions of years. When the dinosaurs went extinct over 65 million years ago, the only survivors were the ones living in this protected area at the bottom of the globe.

In 18,500 BC the Savage Lands were colonized by humans of Atlantis, who exported prehistoric life throughout their empire while importing Unicorns and other mystic creatures. Atlantean scientists extended the tropical effect, creating a recreation/commerce center called “Pangea”, then genetically altered man-apes into humanoid versions of birds, monkeys, fish, and other animals. The Beast-Men were put to work as laborers. The Beast-Men however became dissatisfied with servitude and Pangea’s automation, rebelled in the 1st Pangean War and were allowed to colonize unpopulated areas rendered habitable by the Nuwali Tropical Effect.

In the Mid-19th century, The Atlanteans - That is the underwater race of mutants whose culture was appropriated from Atlantis’ remains - relocated to Antarctica, as did Lemurian rebels called The Ancients. Mysterious beings such as Torg and The Ice King also made their home in the region. Vague reports of underground realms and surviving dinosaurs appeared in the works of such authors as Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Jules Verne, suggesting rumors of the lands were spreading. By 1915, human expeditions had discovered a rare type of destructive Vibranium called “Anti-Metal”, the destructive metal also called Vibranium, in the Savage Land, but the greater deposits within the lands remained unknown. During WWII, Hitler claimed sovereignty over Antarctica and several entire battalions of his men were lost to the realm on expeditions. Meanwhile, spatial warps similar to that of the Bermuda Triangle, occasionally brought ships and planes into the lands, where survivors joined the populace. In more recent history, the British nobleman Robert Plunder, searching for Vibranium, found his way into the Savage Lands. Back in England, Plunder was threatened by those who coveted his secret, and he returned to the lands with his nine-year-old son Kevin, who was orphaned when Robert was slain by the Man-Ape, Maa-Gor. Nurtured by the Sabertooth Tiger Zabu, Kevin enhanced by the lands mysterious “Place of Mists” became known as Ka-Zar, or “Brother of the Tiger”, his uncanny skills ans heroism won him respect throughout the land while still in his teens. Ka-Zar was photographed while exploring the northern limits, provoking investigation by the mutant X-Men, whom he befriended. When the X-Men’s nemesis, Magneto, took the land as his base and transformed simple swamp men into his Savage Land Mutates, Ka-Zar helped the X-Men defeat their old foe, and then fought alongside Garokk against the renegade priestess Zaladane. The land, so long once a source of rumor, became worldwide news when thr Daily Bugle ran a featufe on it, an endeavour that brought the heroic Spider-Man to the lands, where he aided Ka-Zar against another would-be dictator, Kraven The Hunter. Soon afterwards, Ka-Zar provided SHIELD scientists with dinosaur samples which were misuses by a reaearcher who, with the aid of the cryptic They Who Wield Power, transformed himself into Stegron, The Dinosaur-Man. Although the United Nations banned commercial exploitation of the Savage Lands, the Daily Bugle’s exposure brought explorers and treasure hunters to Ka-Zar’s door. Ka-Zar, now in Shanna The She-Devil’s company, explored Pangea and helped establish peace between its many races. The Savage Lands were eventually declared a sovereign kingdom, and although menaced by myriad would-be conquerors –including Apocalypse, a Super-Skrull, Prime Evil, The Warlord, Sauron, Mister Sinister, The High Evolutionary, and AIM– hit's security was repeatedly restored by Ka-Zar, the X-Men, and other heroes.

-

Frank Castle, better known as The Punisher, had discovered Vibranium-B or SLV developed into highly destructive weaponry in use in the streets of New York by gangsters and had questioned the culprits of their arsenal's origins. Tracking the supply chain back to Wilson Fisk (Kingpin), The Punisher was then manipulated into traveling to a remote region of Antarctica to seek out and shut down manufacturing operations and prevent any further lethal misuse of the anti-metal.

-

The notorious and infamous mutant mercenary with a mouth, DeadPool, and lady luck herself, Domino, had been summoned by the executive branches of both Roxxon Oil & Energy as well as A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics) to discuss employment. The corporations sought experts and professionals with talents such as theirs to shut down any preestablished Vibranium-B mines and claim any mineral rich sites on behalf of the companies.

-

Members of a secret society, whispered in conspiracy theories to be known as 'The Illuminati', convened over a shared and vested interest in the discovery of the precious mineral as scientists and to prevent the Vibranium-B from falling into the wrong hands. T'Challa the king and Black Panther of Wakanda, Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) of The Fantastic Four, and Henry 'Hank' McCoy (Beast) of the X-Men had voted to intervene in the unfolding affairs.

Amazing Spider-Man #165 (Wein/Andru, Feb 1977). Stegron the Dinosaur Man unwittingly reawakens the Lizard in his mad quest, while Pete and MJ hash things out. But what’s Jolly Jonah doing with this mad scientist?

[spider-xan]

“War of the Reptiles” is the epitome of absurd Bronze Age Spider-Man storytelling. A time when creative teams were apparently tired with the classic rogue’s gallery and instead came up with a new villain of the month, each one more absurd and ridiculous than the last. Like Curt Connors and his Lizard persona, Stegron is actually a man who genetically merged with dinosaur DNA. Unlike Connors, the character is not even remotely sympathetic or interesting to read about. When Spidey fights the Lizard, there’s always drama to the fact that in human form, Curt is a good person and an ally of Spidey’s who’s bailed him out of trouble a few times. With Stegron, he was just a bad guy who went to the Museum of Natural History in New York and reanimated dinosaur bones. It’s like Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park if it was written by someone who was about 12 drinks and a bowl of marijuana into the evening. (x)

Spider-Man Read-Through 033: 'Twas the Season (ASM 165-166, What If 1)

MASTERPOST

In this issue...

*sigh*

A dinosaur. And the Lizard! Brittany S. Pierce would be... very gleeful.

However, we also get great development for Peter, MJ and Flash and THAT's at least worth something.

And also...

Spidey accidentally runs into a secret SHIELD building and chases a dinosaur, but misses him.

Gorgeous panels. Meanwhile, at the Connors's...

Stegron! How I missed you, my dear Stegron! (Said no one ever.)

MEANWHILE! In the street!

I think they should kiss. They should kiss to make MJ jealous. THEY SHOULD SOOOO DO THAT. And I should write it. Should I? I should!

At E.S.U., we get more development concerning Jameson and his mysterious scientist. Turns out Dr Madison doesn't hold much against Spidey, but she doesn't like how he's above law. So she's kinda me when I was playing Persona 5.

Gorgeous page! Once again with the wind and the leaves, like just before the Gwen clone plot kickstarted!

I like that they finally discuss what they are, it's been a long time coming. They think about doing a break...

That's a fun way to break the scene!

Peak comedy.

Meanwhile, Stegron's having the time of his life.

SEE, THAT'S WHAT COMMUNICATION DOES! MAKES EVERYTHING EASIER!

Anyway, stuff happens, and...

Just because I love the purple pants doesn't mean I have to enjoy this plot.

Given that the two issues mention preparing for Christmas several times, I can only assume Peter's birthday is in December.

Anyway, Spidey reassures Mrs Connors, and Dr Madison meets up with Jameson.

Slay. I also really love her outfit.

Anyway, she uncovers a Spider-Slayer... Oh, Jameson, how many times have you tried, now? He never learns his lessons!

Do I sense a Gloria/Randy romance? Why not, especially if that means we get to see more of them!

So anyway, we're on full Christmas mode, right there. How soul crushing it must be for Peter to say he won't be able to spend Christmas with his friends! I was going to say family, but Aunt May hasn't been mentioned in a while (thankfully, let her be in lesbians with Anna). You can just feel how bitter Peter is.

And Harry and Liz announce they're going to marry! Oh, uh. Okay. I guess it was very quick in these times, and publication-wise, it has been a while, but dear Lord, they're quick! I guess it makes sense, with how romantic they were, last batch. MJ's surely gonna feel more stressed about that, now...

...

Anyway. One really cool thing in the battle is that the Lizard takes the time to save Connors' child. I love those moments!

Spidey gets there, makes Connors human again, then goes off to fight Stegron.

We do get great shots, but I'm really not into all of this.

Connors successfully reverses the Dinosaur Revival Beam, and they return to bones. It's nice to see Connors actively help Spidey!

What a dumbass.

At least, this is a great page! It's actually excellent. It's a saving grace, we shall say.

This is nice, but WHAT ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS, PETE? NO EPILOGUE FOR THEM?

THIS IS SAD.

Time for the first What If issue! What if Spidey joined the Fantastic Four?

The issue starts with The Watcher introducing the idea, just like he introduced the last issue of the Phoenix Saga.

Hm!

He's supposed to be, like, 15.

It's fun to see this remade. This issue's obviously partly an excuse to redraw their fateful meeting, but with a different artist, given that it replays a lot of the same beats.

That's nice to see!

The Fantastic Four raise issues, but one is given more weight--the fact that Spidey keeps his identity secret.

Oh!

...He doesn't look like a wallflower with this artstyle, hahaha. Next, Peter recounts his history and retcons himself as a beautiful hunk and not as the nerd he most definitely was.

Anyway, the FF present their newest member at a press conference and...

That's actually very interesting! The Chameleon ends up not doing anything. Instead, the Vulture takes his place!

That's sad.

Later, the Invisible Girl gets jealous of Spidey, who's on an adventure with their teammates while she stays behind and watches over them. And while they're on a dangerous mission, she gets seduced by Namor (the Submariner). This is to retell an early adventure of the FF.

This is nice, but not that interesting to me once it really goes into the FF retelling.

Next time: More of Spectacular Spider-Man! I'm curious to see that.

EARTH-9145: Stegron the Dinosaur Man

With a few exceptions here and there, Spider-Man does very little of the "furry-adjacent" variety in his look. Webbing under the armpits is basically it. Meanwhile, Vulture has the neck feathers or a beaked helmet depending on the version. Rhino literally looks like he skinned an actual rhino to wear as his suit. Scorpion and Doc Ock are a little more removed, being more mecha than furry. Kangaroo...eh, he's not even a little bit furry, but something of a fashion victim anyway. Stegron actually got hybridized with a dinosaur.

Black Cat isn't a furry, but she's definitely got a costume kink.

TIL marvel just has its own copyright safe Arkham Asylum I guess. They even have the creepy gate
