Minotaur (comics)
Minotaur is the name of several fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
The Miklos Vryolak incarnation of Minotaur first appeared in Iron Man #24 (April 1970), and was created by writer Archie Goodwin and artist Johnny Craig.[citation needed]
The mythological Minotaur first appeared in Hercules: Heart of Chaos #2 (July 1997), and was adapted by writer Peter B. Gillis and artist Sal Buscema.[citation needed]
The Decimus Furius incarnation of Minotaur first appeared in Uncanny X-Force #1 (October 2010), and was created by writer Rick Remender and artist Jerome Opeña.[citation needed]
The Dario Agger incarnation of Minotaur first appeared in Thor: God of Thunder #19 (February 2014), and was created by writer Jason Aaron and artist Esad Ribić.[citation needed]
Based on the Greek mythology creature of the same name, the Minotaur is the offspring of Queen Pasiphaë and the Bull of Poseidon, which her husband King Minos refused to sacrifice at Poseidon's orders. As a result of this union, the Minotaur was born. Upon learning of the Minotaur's origin, Minos enlists Daedalus to construct a labyrinth to have the Minotaur placed in so that it can never escape. For several years, Minos uses his labyrinth to imprison his prisoners so that the Minotaur can kill them. One day, Theseus offers himself as a prisoner to Minos. With the help of Minos' daughter Ariadne, Theseus makes his way through the labyrinth and kills the Minotaur with his sword.
The Minotaur's corpse is transported back to the labyrinth in Greece. Matsu'o Tsurayaba and the Hand are led to the Minotaur's corpse by Eurystheus and Achelous, who manage to resurrect the Minotaur. When Hercules and Wolverine arrive at Tsurayaba's apartment, they are greeted by a video of Tsurayaba, Eurystheus, and Achelous telling them about how they resurrected several mythological monsters. Just then, Hercules and Wolverine are attacked by the Minotaur and the Nemean Lion. The Minotaur and the Nemean Lion knock out Hercules before turning their attention to Wolverine. The Minotaur explains to Wolverine that his adamantium claws cannot pierce the Nemean Lion's hide. After Wolverine knocks out the Nemean Lion, Hercules regains consciousness and helps Wolverine defeat the Minotaur, who seemingly falls to his death.
The Minotaur survives the fall, but is turned to stone and transported back to Crete. When Deadpool comes to Crete to retrieve the sarcophagus containing Shiklah, the Minotaur breaks free from his petrified state and attacks Deadpool. The Minotaur successfully destroys the sarcophagus with Deadpool's help and Shiklah is awakened.
