Death’s Head II & The Origin of Die-Cut

    (Marvel UK, 1993)
Marvel UK

Death’s Head II and his partner Tuck find themselves on Matricca Scorpio—a planet of cyborgs. They are there in search of a cure for a plague that is ravaging the world of Lionheart. Known as “Perfection,” the plague works by transmuting artificial flesh into metal. For a world such as Lionheart, where so much of the population—including the royal family—is synthetic, the plague poses a deadly danger.

Their mission on Matricca Scorpio leads to disaster, however, as both Tuck and Death’s Head II are infected by the disease. Moreover, they are assaulted by an endless army of cyborgs. In a desperate stratagem, Death’s Head II allows one of his 105 personalities to exorcise itself—setting it loose in a newly created body. That personality, who calls itself Die Cut, will either be the pair’s salvation or the ultimate destroyer.
