| Elephantmen (Comic Book) | comment |
Elephantmen is a comic book series published by Image Comics, created by Richard Starkings and illustrated by Ladronn, Moritat, Marian Churchland and guest artists.Set in the 23rd century, the series revolves around a group of genetic super soldiers created by a Mad Scientist named Kazushi Nikken. With support of the nations of Northern Africa Nikken and the Mappo corporation forcibly impregnated thousands of women with human/animal hybrid embryos based on African wildlife (elephants, rhinos, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, hyenas). The resulting "elephantmen" are bigger, stronger, and tougher than humans. Nikken also subjects them to years of mental conditioning and cybernetic Emotion Suppression to purge their humanity, making them merciless, obedient killing machines.When the deadly FCN virus kills 90% of Europe, the nations of Northern Africa dispatch the elephantmen to conquer the lands. On the opposite side is China, which similarly seeks expansion and even develops its own version of animal/human hybrid soldiers. The result is years of Afro-Sino War.In the aftermath of the war, the United Nations arrested Nikken and shut down his African facility. The surviving Elephantmen — over 15,000 of them — were rehabilitated to recover their humanity. These were gradually reintegrated into human society across the world and given jobs, education, and even citizenship. After more than a decade, society remains divided. In rare instances, the elephantmen are highly regarded and treated as equals. But in most cases, the elephantmen are treated more as second-class citizens with notably less freedom and more government supervision than their human counterparts. Discrimination and hostility remain common.The series officially ended in January, 2018, after eighty issues. Twelve volumes were published, along with one volume of the prequel series Elephantmen: War Toys, and four issues of Hip Flask, starring the hippo hybrid who started it all. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Elephantmen (Comic Book) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: It isn't uncommon for any of the side or major characters to be killed off when the situation calls for it. Surprisingly, out of all the major named Elephantmen, only Tusk and Gabbatha are dead by the end of the series. | |

| Elephantmen (Comic Book) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Minor characters are sometimes derived from real people. "Herman Strumm" is a parody of Howard Stern, and TV anchors "Bauer" and "Cussick" are obviously based on Matt Lauer and Katie Couric. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| Elephantmen (Comic Book) / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: The mothers of the Elephantmen, in a variant of Death by Childbirth. Nikken kidnapped them, implanted them with hybrid embryos, placed them — naked — in nightmarish robotic contraptions, waited until their bellies were practically bursting from the sheer size of the baby, then cut them open and tossed their bodies in a mass grave. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Elephantmen (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Everything involving Elijah Delaney and what happened to Herman Strumm and everyone else on the Dogstar Radio station is never resolved or brought up again. It was implied Elijah snapped and ate Strumm after he humiliated him during a live broadcast. None of the characters ever find out where Serengheti took Sahara's baby, nor does he receive any comeuppance for his actions. Issue 75 ends with Horn ordering one of his men to extract Nikken from prison so he can kill him personally. This never happens. | |

Break the Cutie: Sahara endures several trials throughout the series, but Issue 62 really tests her limits. Just as she reveals to Horn that she's alive and has a baby, Serengheti comes to their wedding and starts gunning down everyone alongside his goons. During the shootout, Panya is murdered. And then Sahara's baby is kidnapped. And then Gabbatha is murdered—by Horn, no less. It isn't until several issues later that she recovers from everything that happened. | |

Innocent Fanservice Girl: Miki. She is well aware of her beauty ("Just because I'm super-hot doesn't mean I'm not super-smart"), but not always the effect her physical form has on men. In issue #18, she removes her work shirt - which has a transparent window down the front - and dons a t-shirt fresh out of the freezer. All in front of Tiny, one of the mechanics at the Skycab company. The poor guy tries not to look, but doesn't quite have the self-control. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Elephantmen (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Many humans hate the Elephantmen, and call them a variety of slurs, the most common being "munt" and "monkey." There is a thriving black market in Elephantman parts. Animosity between species of Elephantmen seems common as well, with the hyenas seen as mindless brutes, and the crocodiles as monsters. | |

Spanner in the Works: Nikken would have successfully made all the Elephantmen into monsters, but his assistant (who currently goes by Claude Bernard) felt that for the Transgenics to be better than humans, they needed moral guidance and so as a personal experiment he took aside a few of the Transgenics, including Hip Flask, and read to them and encouraged them to think and imagine. | |

Stalker with a Test Tube: The FCN virus turns people green and makes them sprout deadly mushrooms, for Miki all it did was give her a slight fever and a runny nose. When Miki got pregnant, she had the embryo removed and disposed of because it was infected with FCN. The biotech company that does embryo removal actually didn't dispose it and instead kept in suspended animation due to interest in Miki's FCN resistance and her relationship with an Elephantman. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Elijah Delaney, the only reptilian Elephantmen with a major speak role, never shows up again after his debut in the second issue. Unless he's supposed to be the unnamed crocodile killed by the Silencer in issue 16 (who notably is missing his tail, when Delaney's was bitten off by Hip). | |

Wham Episode | |
| Elephantmen (Comic Book) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Issue 62 has multiple subplots come to a head—none of which end well. Sahara reveals she's still alive to Horn during his wedding and was using Panya as a double. Just as they reconcile, Serengheti finds both of them at the wedding and shoots up the place, killing dozens. During the confusion, he kidnaps Sahara's baby and kills Panya. Horn, in blind rage and grief, murders Gabbatha in front of everyone. The issue ends with Serengheti getting away unscathed and Sahara emotionally broken. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
| Elephantmen (Comic Book) / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: This is kind of the whole point of the Elephantmen as characters. They were created from human and animal DNA as "war toys," but they are as intelligent as any human and capable of very human reasoning, emotions and desires. Many of the munt-haters consider them subhuman, animals, and hate them for it. China goes a step over. Once the war is over, they detonate their Tigermen army, and are quite proud of it. | |

Long-Lived: It's not mentioned outright, but at the very least Hip Flask is longer lived than a regular hippo. He was an adult when he first encountered Miki who was a newborn (and who's in her early 20s when she started a relationship with him). Hippos normally live for 40-50 years but he's far from being at the end of his lifespan. | |

Anti-Climax: Twice in the final arc. When Flask confronts Dr. Nikken in the penultimate issue, he's so disgusted with the man that he doesn't even try to kill him or hurt him. He just walks away, telling Nikken that he's going to choose his own, peaceful path in life. The final issue shows no major character death, no massive shootout, no confrontation, and no huge battle. Rather, the final issue is about the characters staying optimistic in a seemingly pessimistic world and reflecting on the good instead of the bad. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Elephantmen (Comic Book) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: People named after deserts, Elephantmen named after Old Testament figures, co-workers named after portable objects (Hip Flask, Vanity Case)... Starkings really likes this trope. All the trade paperbacks use the theme of "<adjective> <plural noun>". | |

Dark and Troubled Past: Pick any main character, and chances are they had a horrible childhood or were somehow negatively affected by the Elephantmen during the war. | |
