Korak is the Honorable Jack Clayton, son of English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke, also known as Tarzan, lord of the jungle.  He is the hero of a 1915/6 magazine serial and 1917 novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and a 1920 silent movie serial, as well as a character in several other Tarzan stories from 1914 to 1924.  He experienced a revival in 1964 as the star of his own comic book series and as a major character in various Tarzan comic books, pages, and strips from 1966 to 1978.

The Terminator is a cybernetic organism consisting of living tissue over a robotic endoskeleton.  Developed as an assassin but able to be reprogrammed as a bodyguard, the Terminator appeared as a villain in the 1984 film and as a hero in the 1991 film Judgment Day and the 2003 film Rise of the Machines.

The Terminator encounters the handsome, athletic, shirtless jungle hero swinging carefree in the distance using a jungle vine.  With his inhuman strength, pinpoint accuracy, and knowledge of trajectory, the android uses a rock to down Korak, hitting the youth squarely in the back and causing him to lose his grip and fall to the ground.

The picture "Korak Meets the Terminator by st00pz" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2015.  Although he is a peak human teen-aged jungle boy, the son of Tarzan is no match for the Terminator.  

Let's hope that there was a benign reason for the Terminator to down Korak with a rock.  Otherwise, the son of Tarzan will need someone to rescue him.

These pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  I introduced  the Terminator as a potential antagonist.  This is an original scene and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
