Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Cyberspace 3000 is a 1993 comic series published by the Marvel UK imprint of Marvel Comics. It's written by Gary Russell and illustrated by Steve Tappin and Michael Eve (although Tappin and editor Michael W. Bennent, not Russell, are credited as its original co-creators). Color art by is initially by Steve Whitaker, later replaced by Paul Schroeder.Set in an alternate future of the shared Marvel Universe (the same 31st century setting used for Marvel's original Guardians of the Galaxy), it's a science-fiction adventure story following the crew of colony ship Sol III, which is carrying survivors from the recent wars with the alien Badoon. The first issue begins when the ship is badly damaged by a strange energy field, which also manifests some sort of portal, and the rest of the series follows up on the consequences of that event.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The story centres around a small core cast drawn from Sol III's surviving officers - Captain Jennifer Cabre-Rios, security chief Yan Onanwro and computer systems engineer Shan O'Meara, with ship's doctor S'Rell and sentient shipboard computer Sol also playing major supporting roles. Several of Marvel's existing cosmic characters - including Galactus, the Silver Surfer and Adam Warlock - also appear as antagonists or allies.The first issue was released May 18, 1993. The series ended with issue 8 (released December 21, 1993) when the whole Marvel UK line abruptly ceased publishing, finishing on a cliffhanger and leaving several storylines unresolved.

Dead All Along: Captain Jennifer Cabre-Rios apparently died, along with the rest of the bridge crew, four pages into the first issue. The version we see for the rest of the series is initially a Hard Light Virtual Ghost created by Sol, although she's later downloaded into a cloned body by S'Rell

Curb-Stomp Battle: Cabre-Rios, Onanwro and O'Meara try to shoot Galactus. With handguns. They do at least get his attention, but he neutralises them all with a gesture. After the revelation that the Clan Cyorse have been manipulated all along, Mailiw furiously attacks Gamble. Gamble effortlessly strikes him down, possibly fatally.

The Empath

comment
The Empath: Shan O'Meara has empathic powers. As well as reading emotions, he can apparently influence them or even stun people with a psychic attack. At the start of the series this is accepted in a matter-of-fact way by the rest of the crew, but his powers seem to increase later in the series. Which seems to relate to his role as The Chosen One, the new cosmic messiah.

Foreshadowing

comment
Foreshadowing: The exact nature of the Clan Cyorse's religion is initially left vague, but the first issue shows a statue of a clenched, gloved fist. And the voice of their 'god' is heard from an unseen source, with an unusual style of speech bubble. It's Thanos, and those who already know the character from other comics may find those hints very familiar.

Legacy of the Chosen: Implied. The Dark Angel from this series is revealed to be a different person to Dark Angel, but what we see of her origin suggests she was chosen and empowered by the same being. Whether she's a Legacy Character following on from the original, or whether her alternate universe had a different Dark Angel a thousand years ago, is left unclear.
