Anti Matter: The Shadow Eggs are made from it, making them indestructible.

The Metabaron is clearly one too, but is a bit harder to pin-point. Both he and Tanatah started out as Nominal Heroes before Character Development and Heel Realization hit in. Kill Wolfhead walks the line between Pragmatic Hero and Unscrupulous Hero depending on his mood.

Anti-Hero: Difool is both a Classical Antihero and Knight in Sour Armour.

Animated Adaptation: Canadian animator, Pascal Blais wanted to direct a movie back in the '80s but it never got past the trailer.

It helps in bringing him Back from the Dead. Anguished Declaration of Love: Luz tearfully confesses her feelings for Difool after he performs a Heroic Sacrifice in Final Incal.2-D Space: The Berg ships and the Incal surround Technogea in a ring with none above or below it.In November of 2021 it was announced that a live-action film of The Incal was in the works, to be directed by Taika Waititi.įor other spin-offs and related media see: the Metabarons Universe. The project was rebooted with Mexican artist José Ladrönn ( Elephantmen) in 2008 as Final Incal and finished with 3 volumes in 2014.
