Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Rom the Spaceknight is one of the most influential Marvel characters they do not own. Launched in 1979, and lasting well into the 1980s, Rom the Spaceknight chronicled the cosmic warrior’s struggle against the Dire Wraiths of the Dark Nebula. Along the way, Rom rubbed shoulders with other Marvel icons, including the X-Men.
Rom Was the Greatest of the Spaceknights, Marvel’s Cosmic Cyborg Army Rom’s Story Bears a Strong Resemblance to That of the Silver Surfer Close When Rom made his fiery entrance into the Marvel Universe in 1979’s Rom the Spaceknight #1, fans were only given a glimpse of his origins. Over 200 years prior, the Dire Wraiths, shape-shifting aliens from the Dark Nebula, attempted an invasion of the planet Galador.
Rom Traded His Humanity For Great Power and Longevity Rom Has Weapons That Made Marvel's Tech Geniuses Envious Close When Galador’s Prime Director sent out a call for recruits to the Spaceknights, he was upfront about what they would be sacrificing: their “humanity.” As noted in Rom the Spaceknight #1, this pained the people of Galador. Volunteers such as Rom were marched into Galador’s Hall of Science, undergoing extensive physical conditioning and upgrades.
When readers first meet the Dire Wraiths in Rom #1, they appear as blue-skinned humanoids, with shadows obscuring their faces. Their true forms were hinted at for over a year before they were finally revealed. They used their powers to infiltrate the small town of Clariton, West Virginia. Over the years, they slowly took over the town, posing as normal Earth people. The Dire Wraiths also managed to work their way into positions of power on Earth.
