Kill Wolfhead (Character)

Kill Wolfhead is one the main characters of the Incal saga. He was a mutant mercenary, originally introduced as one of Tanatah's Amok warriors and a rebel leader, with a strong dislike for John DiFool. However, he would eventually came to help John in his war against dangerous beings such as the Darkness and the Bethacodon.

He made his first appearance in the first issue of The Incal, The Black Incal.

Early life
At one point Kill joined the Amok, a secret society of criminals and outcasts, which had made Tanatah their queen after rescuing her from the Acid Lake.

Encounter with John DiFool
While partying at the Daredevil Club Kill met an aristo named Nimbea S. Quinq, accompanied by his bodyguard John DiFool. Unbeknownst to him, the aristo was actully wearing a holo-mask, concealing her true features. When John saw that the holo-mask was wearing off he shot Kill in his left ear in order to warn the aristo, which made Kill furious. He chased DiFool through the club, but gave up when John escaped entering a ventilation shaft.

Launching the rebellion against the Prezident
Tanatah, who was after the Incal, blackmailed the Metabaron so that he would bring John to her; at that point, Wolfhead demanded that DiFool be brought alive, so that he could take his revenge on him. Later, as part of Tanatah's plan to take control of City Shaft, Kill launched a rebellion against the goverment, with the support of other mercenary factions such as the Blue Sedentarists, the Ionist Phalanxes and the Polyfinalists. Using Techno-techno equipment, they eventually managed to get inside the Floating Palace and reached the door of the imperial alloy, but they backed away once the Necrodroid was released. Realizing that the rebellion was falling apart, he returned to the Lair of the Amok to warn Tanatah about the Necrodroid. After he informed the Queen of Amok about the situation Tanatah decided to join forces with John DiFool and the Metabaron, understanding that that the only chance they had against the Necrodroid was by using both the Luminous and Black Incals, and that they had to travel to the Center of the Planet.

Reuniting the two Incals
After Kill, John, Deepo, Tanatah, the Metabaron and Solune descended to the Center of the Planet, they met Animah, Tanatah's sister and Guardian of the Luminous Incal. Still escaping form the Necrodroid, who was also after the Incal, Animah guided the rest of the crew to the Interior Sun. At the door of the Interior Sun, each of the characters made peace with each other in order to open the door. Wolfhead made peaces with DiFool, promising he would no longer seek revenge.

After going through the Forest of Singing Crystals, they reached the Doorway of Transfiguration. The Incals were reunited, and Solune became the consciousness of a starship that had the abilities of the Incal and was shaped in the form of the two merged pyramids.

As part of the Seven Companions
After The Seven unsuccessfully attempted to destroy a Shadow Egg with the Incal Ship, they headed to Aquaend, where they met with the Emperoress, and decided to launch a war campaign against Technogea with the help of the Bergs. In order to get the help from the Bergs John participated and won the Five Thousand Year Nuptial Games, coming into an alliance with the Protoqueen.

With the help from the bergs The Seven managed to neutralize the Shadow Egg and disband the Technos, but the Emperoress was infected by the tenebrae virus.

Final fight agaisnt the Darkness
To destroy the Darkness once and for all, The Seven decided to destroy the Techno-centreur, a being that was totally devoted to the Darkness, and which was hidden in the War Star. The Seven managed to destroy the main processor of the War Star, and Solune won the battle against the Techno-centeur but in the process the barrier of the Light was broken. After the darkened Emperoress was also defeated, Solune was named the new Emperoress. Solune claimed that humanity had to enter a state of deep slumber called the Theta Dream to avoid falling under the influence of the Darkness.

The Seven went back to the Portal of Transfiguration, so that the united Incal could prepare to absorb the Theta Dream energy generated by the entire human race in the two galaxies. The Seven entered the Theta dream itself, and they were transported to null-time and null-space to confront the Darkness.

In the first circle of the Theta Dream, The Seven started hallucinating nightmares concocted by the Darkness to feed on their inner terror (Wolfhead's nightmare involved turning into a pack of evil wolves), but they eventually realized that the nightmares were only a part of themselves that they were afraid to face. In the second circle The Darkness attacked the Incal itself, so the Incal demanded the energy of all Seven Companions to survive. They all gave their energies, with the exception of John, who wanted to remain himself.

As General of the First Rebel Division
In After the Incal, much of events described earlier are revealed to be part of John DiFool's dream, in any case, this revelation doesn't substantially contradict Wolfhead's previous actions or personality.

At one point, Terra 2014 came under the influence of the Bethacodon, who took control of the Meca-prezident and spread the biophage virus throughout City Shaft, waping out all human life. However, Kill Wolfhead and three other mutants (Hipo-San, Avicene and Don Poulpo), managed to survive, and formed the the Free Bio-Army, hiding at the Dumping Ground, a secret compound in Center Earth. During this time Kill ascended to General of the First Rebel Divison.

Some time after Gorgo the Foul, accompanied by John and Luz joined Wolfhead's forces and prepared to launch their attack on the surface. The rebels used the waste passage to arrive to the surface, and they started bursting in through the lower levels and pillaging the lower zone. The Meca-prez deployed anti-riot units against them, but they felt into the rebels’ trap, since the insurgents were actually hiding between buildings armed with weapons they had stored in the surface.

During combat Kill flew away in a ship, and used a bazooka to shoot a thermal bomb at the Bethacodon, which was getting bigger. He destroyed the antigravity generators of the Floating Palace, making it to start collapsing, although auxiliary systems were activated to make it last a little longer. The rebels also managed to sabotage the enemy’s anti-air batteries. The enemy released the hyper-halo in response, but the chiefs of the bio-army decided to sacrifice themselves, destroying the hyper-halo generator and creating a huge opening in the Palace’s shell. Gorgo’s army used the slime ropes to board the Floating Palace, and the rebels got inside.

Killing the Meca-prezident
Inside the Palace, the rebels fought the hunchbacks and finally reached the Meca-prezident. Meanwhile, Elohim started attacking the Bethacodon, which created an energy hurricane on the surface. At that moment the Bethacodon's plan became clear: they were going to spread a viral cloud through the Palace’s upper ventilation system so that the air current created by the energy hurricane would spread throughout the atmosphere, leaving no organic molecule in the planet or any of the other parallel universes. The rebels attempted to solve the problem by bringing on technicians, but they were told that the process was irreversible. Thankfully, Kaimann offered to destroy the ventilation control system so they could have enough time to escape. DiFool also decided to sacrifice himself by setting Kaimann ship's to self-destruct so that the Bethacodon could be annihilated. The Meca-prezident tried to escape on a small spaceship but he was having problems taking off. Kill took advantage of the situation, and used a laser pistol to melts the spaceship's engines, making it fall down to the Great Acid Lake and killing the Meca-prezident.

Aftermath
After the death of the Meca-prezident Elohim connected his arms to the ground and started healing the planet from its center outwards. Wolfhead consoled Luz, who was missing John, by encouraging her to go on with her life, overcoming the pain and burying the past.
