Deathlok Appreciation Page: All versions welcome

I'm reading the 1970s run of Deathlok right now and it's really good. I wonder how you would pull off Deathlok in a movie where he's constantly talking to his computer and in conflict with what his computer is saying. Would be very interesting.

You have to do it sparingly; but, it can be done. You need to use it like the internal monologue/narration of noir detective films.

Deathlok: "It was a dark night, in the wastelands of New York. A storm was brewing."
Computer: "The chance of acidic precipitation is 30%; current conditions suggest a storm unlikely. Reconfigure this unit's orientation."
Deathlok: "Shut up, 'puter! It's my monologue! Don't make me watch that Perfect Strangers marathon again."
Computer: "This unit will be good. Please do not subject it to Cousin Balky again."
Deathlok: "Okay; back to the story. A storm is brewing. Ryker wasn't satisfied with cybernetic werewolves and paid assassins. he had a new weapon in mind; something really nasty, something involving the dead body of Bronson Pinchot."
Computer: "Uggggggghhhhhh!"

um, you mean like Stark and J.A.R.V.I.S. in three Iron Man movies and one and a bit Avengers movies?

It's different because with Deathlok the computer is constantly telling him what is going on and he is constantly arguing with it. At least in the 70s run.

[Draegwolf]

am the only one that thinks that Deathlok would be idea for a Frankensteinian body-horror solo series?

A Frankensteinian body-horror solo series sounds interesting to me.

Astonishing Tales #34 page 17: Deathlok battles Ryker in cyberspace

Astonishing Tales #34 is notable for the surreal battle between Deathlok and Ryker within a computer network.
Keep in mind this was written & drawn more than two decades before The Matrix came out, before the concepts of cyberspace and virtual reality became popular!
In other words, this is experimental work by artist Rich Buckler.

A number of different inkers worked on the Astonishing Tales issues over Buckler’s pencils.
Klaus Janson’s inking probably works best, giving the art a gritty, atmospheric feel entirely appropriate for the grim settings.
It especially suits the bizarre imagery of the cyberspace confrontation seen in issue #s 34 & 35.

Mr. Dwayne McDuffie, gone before he should've been. You will be missed sir. RIP

With the latest vol.2 of Agents of Shield the comic now concluded I'm wondering where we will see Henry Hayes Deathlok show up next.
Heck, it's Marvel, we could see a prior Deathlok back in the spotlight or an all new one created. I'd like to either stick with Henry or revisit a former one. I think you can begin to have to many.

[Captain Wessex]

Henry's on a variant cover to Secret Empire. Not sure of the significance, if any, but he's there.

I'd really like Marvel to publish a second volume of the 90's Deathlok TPB.

Peace

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

I'd certainly appreciate it.
