Ka-Zar (pronounced "KAY-sar") is the name of two jungle-dwelling fictional characters, both published by Marvel Comics. The first originated in the pulp magazines, while the second exists in the Marvel Universe. The first, David Rand, was a typical "jungle lord" who first appeared in ''Ka-Zar'' #1 (Manvis Publishing, 1936). He was an unremarkable Tarzan clone who was adapted by Marvel starting with ''Marvel Comics'' #1 (October 1939). Although he once met the original Human Torch, Marvel company policy is that this character never existed; the only Ka-Zar is the second one. The second, Lord Kevin Reginald Plunder, started as a similar character, but a clone of both Tarzan and Turok. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in ''X-Men'' volume 1 #10 (March 1965). He lives in the dinosaur- and caveman-populated Savage Land, which was hidden beneath Antarctica by aliens. He is the eldest son of Lord Robert Plunder, the England nobility who discovered the Savage Land. He was found and raised by the smilodon Zabu, who possesses near-human intelligence thanks to a mutation caused by radioactive mists. Ka-Zar and Zabu are constant partners. His brother Parnival is the supervillain called the Plunderer; his wife is the adventurer Shanna the She-Devil, and they have a son, Matthew. Marvel Comics heroes, non-superpowered X-Men supporting characters
How can something be a "clone" of something that was to be created 32 years later ("Turok") It seems relatively inane to include that, considering the archetype predates Ka-Zar :Turok predates Ka-Zar by at least a decade. -User:Gtrmp 02:47, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
