Orka (Marvel Comics)

Well, first of all thatnks to cooksappe for apreciating the last Hydra guy.
As said many times the final countdown started. Here is the number -9
Orka!
 
Courtesy of Wikipedia:
Orka was originally an Atlantean soldier in the army of Warlord Krang, and aids the renegade Krang when he attempts to usurp the Atlantean throne from Namor. When this attempt fails, Orka goes into exile
from Atlantis with Krang. Orka is then chosen to be the test subject of Dr. Dorcas, the marine scientist who created Tiger Shark, one of Namor's arch foes. Courtesy of a belt with a psionic amplifier, Orka
is given the power of a killer whale, and aids Krang once more against Namor. The character skirmishes with fellow creation Tiger Shark, and the pair cause an undersea avalanche that buries them for several
months.

Orka eventually freed himself and allies with the other-dimensional Virago, and after battling Namor twice is defeated.
The Brand Corporation (a subsidiary of Roxxon Energy Corporation) summon Orka with the aid of the Serpent Crown, and in exchange for his aid is augmented: the character's size is increased to 20 feet (6.1 m)
tall and his natural abilities are increased, eliminating the need for the psionic belt. Orka is sent on a mission that brings him into conflict with superhero team the Avengers, with Thunder God Thor
knocking him unconscious.

When warlord Attuma takes over the city of Atlantis, Orka is pardoned exile and joins the Imperial Army. Part of an invasion force that attacks the surface world, Orka battles the Avengers and the Fantastic
Four, but is defeated by heroine She-Hulk and the Black Panther and imprisoned. Orka escapes imprisonment and joins marine team Deep Six, (also consisting of Attuma, Nagala, Piranha, Sea Urchin and Tiger
Shark). The group attack the United States and battles the Avengers and the People's Protectorate and are eventually defeated.

Orka features in several other Marvel titles such as Fantastic Four, She-Hulk and the Defenders. After the events of the Civil War, Orka features in the title Heroes for Hire and joins the team (also falling
in love with fellow member Misty Knight). He also strikes up a friendship with the Heroes for Hire's invulnerable administrative assistant.
Orka is killed in combat by a Doombot (a robotic copy of villain Doctor Doom) reprogrammed by the villains the Headmen.


This character was customized from Eaglemoss CMFC Hulk. The belt, fins and face were sculpted in Magic Sculp white.

Matt Colors and Citadel, plus a couple of washing Citadel and Vallejo.


The orininal character:


Hope you have long life expectation to see the last 8 characters. I think at least 6 of them are the best sculpting I have ever done. But the rate is up to you of course!

Byezz

Skif!
