Martyrman

Look out criminals and infidels, it’s Martyrman, the terrorist superhero! Whenever crime or deviations from religious orthodoxy occur, Martyrman springs into action! He speeds to the scene, engages the malefactor(s), and blows himself up! Yes, admittedly he kills all the innocent civilians who might be there, but at least he stops the bad guys! (And is anyone truly innocent? You know they must have done something wrong at some point…)

The first issue of Martyrman became an instant collector’s item, because it was also the last and only issue of Martyrman Comics: you see, he blew himself up, and now he’s dead, so no more issues were forthcoming.

(BTW: This is just a joke in bad taste. I doubt there is such a superhero as Martyrman. He sure wouldn’t last long if there were…)
