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.

Batgirl is best known as the crime-fighting alias of Barbara Gordon, a librarian and daughter of Police Commissioner Gordon.  After initially appearing as Betty Kane from 1961 to 1964 in the DC comic book series, she was reintroduced in 1967 in both the comic book series and the 1966 television series, with Yvonne Craig as Ms. Gordon.

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.

Batgirl decides to accept Batman's invitation to teach Korak a lesson on the consequences of defeat.  Superman tried by putting the jungle boy in a cage for an hour.  Aquaman tried by stranding the young hero in a desert island overnight.  Nevertheless, the son of Tarzan came back again to challenge the Caped Crusader.  While she admires Korak's persistence, Batgirl is genuinely concerned about the jungle boy.  In the real world, against a serious opponent, such poor choices can be fatal for a young hero, and good intentions will not help.  She will have the weekend with the son of Tarzan to teach him some longer, more painful, and hopefully more successful lessons.


The four-picture series "Korak and Batgirl by st00pz" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2018.  Although she did not initially want to hurt the young hero, Batgirl finds that she is deriving some perverse pleasure from torturing the handsome, athletic son of Tarzan, seeing his beautiful, bare muscles writhe and twist in reaction to her torments.

Your speed is useless in my ropes.
Your strength strains beautifully against my bonds.
Your toughness and endurance will not last.
And your youthful enthusiasm will be broken by my torments.

Fortunately, the lessons are for his own good.  At least, that's what Batman says. 

These pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Korak.  Batgirl plays the reluctant teacher.  These are original scenes and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
