I think it's the Hulk, and I think it's from an old issue of 'Wolverine', but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know?

At a guess it's Cyber from Wolverine:Origins.

Is that somebody's avatar? I am without clue, btw. I'd guess Venom, but that's only because of black and teeth. They aren't even the right eyes or teeth.

I don't know if it's from WOLVERINE: ORIGINS... but it certainly looks like how Cyber was drawn in Wolverine's original ongoing series thing...
But hard to tell being shadowed as much as he (the picture) is.

It reminds me of a panel in W:O but I'm at work so don't have the issue to hand.
One of the earlier issues where Cyber is just about to take/has just taken over a new body.

Cyber came back after having his flesh eaten by those things?
Wow. Anyone can come back these days...!

I've just flipped through W:O 11-15, where Cyber spends a lot of time looking like eyes and teeth on a black background, and unless it's pretty severely doctored, it's not any of them.

That's why I think it's part of the original Wolverine series (well the ongoing one where he was "Patch")...

I can almost swear I remember seeing it there... but the thing is... I no longer own those issues to see if that's where it's from.

I suppose you could PM the person who is using it as an avatar (if that's where you got it)?

Isn't it from the Wolverine story arc in which Cyber comes back from the dead, but in the body of a severely mentally handicapped mutant who, although physically powerful in practically every way, suffered from a weak heart? Cyber forced some scientific genius villain to reinstall his adamantium skin so he could go after Wolverine, however, when they fought, he suffered a massive heart attack. To save his life Logan had the genius villain implant a pacemaker in his chest.

Er. How did a kid with such a weak heart... uh, survive the process of admantium? Wolverine, in peek physical form - with a healing factor - barely survived said process?

Er - well you did say SKIN - not bones. Perhaps that's how. Different process?

Don't ask me, I didn't write the story I'm just repeating it. :p

That's Wolverine: Origins 11-15, which is what I checked.

So the majority of the guessing has trended toward Cyber, but we still have no precise confirmation...I found this image on a Faces of Death website where someone was using it as an avatar, and he didn't even know where it came from, though he was sure it was a Marvel comic. I've found the image online in a few places, but nowhere did I find any confirmation of exactly where it came from. Thanks for your input, everyone.

Just a wild guess (but it DOES look familiar)...how about a hiding-in-the-shadows Mojo?

Did you try clicking on the link? You do realize that, if you do so, you see a picture, right? :wink:

Thank you very much. That would have continued to bug me forever...there ARE a lot of similar images (Madcap from the Daredevil series and Bernie Wrightson's Randall Flagg come to mind) out there, but you pegged the original. I read the Wiki entry on the comic. Doesn't sound very interesting to me- one of those "shock for its own value" dealies. Nevertheless, thanks again for finding out for me.

There's a few too many of those out there, I'm afraid...

¿This 1089?

I guess I can see that.
