Canitaur Comics Art: Marcus The Centaur Werewolf Symbiote
As the image describes, Marcus is a “centaur werewolf symbiote warrior”.
This is definitely one of the most imaginative stretches on the theme of centaur I’ve seen in comics ever. And, believe me, I have seen an amazing amount of taur permutations over the years. Marcus appears in the latest Marvel “Deadpool: The Gauntlet” comics series. Deadpool, along with The Punisher, Jonah Hex and Ghost Rider, is in the lowest echelon of comic book favorites for me. But I think a centaur werewolf symbiote character, even a lesser minion of Dracula, adds some minor allure to books featuring Deadpool. You can never underestimate the lengths comic book writers will go to create distinctly unusual characters. Marcus is a winner in the “One-of-a-Kind” category.
“Deadpool: The Gauntlet” is an Infinite comic series, while the print version appears to be titled “Deadpool: Dracula’s Gauntlet”. I suppose some comic book geeks must love these twists in media, but I find it all quite a bit confusing.
There are other manimals to be found in the series including a minotaur and a werewolf. The series is just chuck full of beastie boys. That’s just fine by me. The more the better.
The pencil work on all the above art is by Reilly Brown. The colorist is Brian Posehn.

Centaur Animation: Gargoyles’ “The New Olympians”
Disney’s “Gargoyles” animated TV series was a short-lived but decent show that graced the airwaves for 2 seasons (10/’94 thru 2/’97).
The show had one thing going for it: the main character, Goliath, was a ruggedly handsome (in a sort of Frankensteinian way) winged-powerhouse gargoyle who was designed to be heroic and sexy, too. (At least to me he was sexy.LOL) Once I realized he was part of the show I was hooked.
“The New Olympians” (Season 2, Episode 37) looks to me to be a possible pilot for another series that, unfortunately, never met the light of day. The episode is chock full of manimal characters (an angel, minotaur, centaurs, naga, a shape-shifter who becomes a cyclops, and background subjects that are interesting in their diversity and “manimalism”.) Of course I am most interested in the secondary guard character, Kiron.
Named after the most famous of all centaurs he isn’t quite like the Greek fellow you might imagine, but he is an eyeful.
Since I have a penchant for darktaurs this guy is on screen way too little to please me.
One of the main characters is a minotaur peace keeper, Taurus, voiced by Michael Dorn (Lt. Cmdr. Worf on “Star Trek: The Next Generation”). I have always thought that man had one of the best speaking voices around (deep and resonant) and it is truly suited to the bull-headed character he plays here. Roddy McDowell (“Planet of The Apes”, “Fright Night”) is the voice of the shape-shifting Proteus. This part was among the last roles of the famous gay character actor before his untimely passing.
You can watch this episode here.
