Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Strikeforce: Morituri was a science-fiction comic book series created by Peter B. Gillis and Brent Anderson. It was published by Marvel Comics from 1986 to 1989.The series starts off in the year 2072, with Earth suffering under an Alien Invasion by the Horde, a race of barbarian Planet Looters who plunder inhabited worlds for supplies, equipment, technology, and sport. Needless to say, conventional Earth weaponry is all but useless in the face of the Horde's advanced technology.Humankind's hope comes when Dr. Kimmo Tuolema perfected the Morituri Process, a procedure that turns a select few into literal superheroes — subjects who undergo the process acquire vast strength, extra stamina, enhanced durability, and at least one extraordinary ability. However, the process also had several major flaws:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) The subject dies within a year, sometimes much less. This was due to the body ultimately rejecting the energy-based metabolism grafted to it. Without proper screening, subjects could die during the process, or survive it with a useless power. Death from the Morituri effect tends to be spectacularly unpleasant; the ones who explode were the lucky ones. There is no way to predict when a subject will die. This can create problems in running operations, and adds a psychological burden on the subjects themselves.Despite the dangers, the Paideia world government quickly forms a specialized fast-response team around the Morituri. They also serve as a much-needed inspiration for the besieged populace, and the members are promoted as heroes and celebrities, complete with codenames, cool costumes, and publicity junkets.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })The series was noted for its character-driven narrative; much time is spent on the psychological burden of the Morituri, each having accepted certain death to become a champion of Earth, along with ancillary issues like celebrity, leadership, and team conflicts. This is accented by the bleakness of the war itself, as the Morituri are not shown to have a major effect in turning the tide of the Horde invasion.Peter B. Gillis and Brent Anderson worked on the first twenty issues of the comic, after which it was written by James Hudnall and drawn by Mark Bagley. The series ended after 31 issues, soon followed by a five-part limited series, Electric Undertow; it took place ten years later and served as a cyberpunk-flavored coda to clean up the rushed ending of the regular series.The title is a reference to the Latin phrase "Morituri te salutamus" (We who are about to die salute you), allegedly said by Roman gladiators to Caesar before battle in the arena.The Other Wiki has a list of characters here. | |

She ended up just under seven feet tall, with a muscular build, flowing black hair, and sculpted European facial features. Her costume is a skintight light blue leotard that accentuated her body; not only was she flattered by the the attention she received, she was also not afraid to act on it. | |

Starfish Aliens | |
| Strikeforce: Morituri (Comic Book) / int_31c5e7fb | comment |
Starfish Aliens: The VXX199. The ship which arrives in Earth orbit, destroys the Horde, and then hides behind the moon (itself being half the diameter of the moon in length but doesn't affect its orbit whatsoever), is itself a giant conglomeration of living tissue, home to millions of completely alien lifeforms of varying intelligence, including the ship's own biological AI. It's like if Terry Gilliam directed a cyberpunk thriller with H.R. Giger as the art designer. This is later subverted and lampshaded when a group of retired Morituri arrive on the ship, and one of them points out how completely ludicrous it is that the atmosphere within the ship merely smells horrible, instead of being completely unable to sustain (super-)human life. | |

Why Am I Ticking?: The Morituri called Revenge had the ability to touch something and make it degrade into energy at varying rates and intensities. When confronted with the Super Speed Morituri assassin Wind, he simply allowed Wind to punch him... whereupon he exploded moments later. Earlier in the series, as the Morituri become more successful at repelling the Horde, they retaliate with a terror campaign by secretly implanting bombs into humans and detonating them in public. | |

Obviously Evil | |
| Strikeforce: Morituri (Comic Book) / int_7c0bfb83 | comment |
Obviously Evil: The Horde. They deliberately avoid quickly conquering Earth for the fun of terrorizing the populace and think nothing of slaughtering helpless slaves and children. An early terror tactic was to eject large numbers of captured humans outside the Earth's atmosphere, allowing them to burn up in re-entry so people on the ground could see the streaks representing their burning forms. | |

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Radian is killed by fellow Morituri Shear when the latter believes he became a traitor to the Horde. In reality, Radian had feared that succumbing to the Morituri effect would be tantamount to the mortal sin of suicide, and he wanted to die in battle instead. | |

Proud Warrior Race: While the Horde play this straight with each other, it's subverted in their treatment of humans, where they act as savage bullies from a position of strength. They have no qualms about slaughtering human slaves and children for petty reasons, and resort to terror tactics to intimidate humanity when the Morituri begin to become more dangerous. | |

Atrocious Alias: One criticism of Hudnall's run on Morituri were the uncreative names he gave to his characters — a telekinetic named "Lifter," a pyrotechnic named "Burn," an invisible character named "Ghost"... Embarrassing Nickname: Deliberately invoked by Pilar "Scaredycat" Lisieux and William "Scatterbrain" Deguchi; they gave each other embarrassing names as part of a dare. | |

Your Days Are Numbered: The fundamental concept of the series.

Show Within a Show | |
| Strikeforce: Morituri (Comic Book) / int_c2393191 | comment |
Show Within a Show: Types 1, 3, and 4. There is a comic and TV program about the Morituri themselves. Type 1: In issue 4, Harold "Vyking" Everson meets Greg Mattingly, who portrays Vyking in the show. Much later, after Harold Everson's death, Greg Mattingly discovers he's eligible for the Morituri process, and acquires an energy redirection power quite similar to Vyking's, but more accurate. He takes the codename Backhand. Type 3: The first issue includes excerpts from "Tales of the Black Watch", a promotional comic book about the first team of Morituri volunteers. When Harold Everson/Vyking joins, his briefing includes watching a video of what really happened to the Black Watch. Type 4: The in-comic comic series portrays a glorified version of actual events, and the in-comic TV show, while not mentioned to be based on actual events, uses film from battles against the Horde as "green-screen" backdrop and stock footage. | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign | |
| Strikeforce: Morituri (Comic Book) / int_e3c20140 | comment |
As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Tuolema is not a real surname. It was probably supposed to be Tuomela, which is. Although the Meaningful Name mentioned below might almost justify it, Tuomela could also sound like Tuonela, the Finnish Underworld. Switching the first letter you can get kuolema, which is Finnish for death. | |

The Great Politics Mess-Up | |
| Strikeforce: Morituri (Comic Book) / int_e668bd55 | comment |
The Great Politics Mess-Up: Happened twice in the series in two different directions. The main series is set in 2072, but the Soviet Union still exists below the Paideia world government. In the other direction, however, a memorial depicted in one panel appears to suggest that South African Apartheid collapsed in 1989, five years too optimistic compared to real life. | |
