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.


Iron Man is the alias of millionaire playboy Tony Stark.  After premiering in Tales of Suspense, he starred in his own Marvel comic book series since 1963, appeared in various television series, and starred in various blockbuster films, starting in 2008.  He was a founding member of the Avengers.


Korak strives to emulate the heroics of his legendary father but lacks his strength, maturity and experience.  Therefore, he is more likely to enter into dangerous situations and more vulnerable to being defeated.

In this picture series, Korak finds a damsel in distress who needs his help.  Unfortunately, although Korak is a peak-human teen-aged boy, he is no match for a cybernetic organism with a robotic endoskeleton.  The handsome, athletic son of Tarzan will need someone to rescue him.

The twelve-picture series "Korak, Terminator, and Iron Man by jen-and-kris" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2017. 


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 and Iron Man as a potential ally.  This is an original scene and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
