Dominic Fortune

Dominic Fortune is a fictional comic book character, owned by Marvel Comics. Created by Howard Chaykin and based on the Scorpion, Chaykin's character for the failed Atlas/Seaboard Comics company, Dominic Fortune is a 1930s costumed adventurer. Publication historyDominic Fortune was created for Marvel's Code-free black-and-white magazine line. His first two appearances occurred in 1975's Marvel Preview #2 (no more specific date given) and Marvel Super Action (one-shot magazine) #1 (January 1976). These stories were later reprinted in Marvel Preview #20 (Winter 1980).A later run in the back pages of The Hulk (a full-color magazine, formerly the b/w Rampaging Hulk) #21 (June 1980)--24 (December 1980), written by Denny O'Neil with fully-painted artwork by Chaykin, included a promise from the editor that a special finale to that series would appear in issue #25. This story was left unpublished due to the dropping of color from the magazine and has yet to be seen anywhere. During this time, a further appearance occurred in Marvel Premiere #56 (October 1980), in a story plotted by Len Wein and laid out by Chaykin for the never-published Super-Action #2, and finished years later by David Michelinie and Terry Austin. Subsequently, a senior citizen version of the character interacted with modern Marvel heroes in Marvel Team-Up #120 (August 1982), Web of Spider-Man #s 10 (January 1986) & 71 (December 1990)--72 (January 1991), and Iron Man (first volume) #212 (November 1986)--213 (December 1986), with no involvement by Chaykin, except for drawing the cover for Web of Spider-Man #10. 2006Sable and Fortune, a 2006 limited series saw the return of the name Dominic Fortune to published work. In that series a new version of Dominic Fortune joins forces with Silver Sable to stop the plans of traitors from within Silver Sable's own Wild Pack.In the back of issue #1, editor John Barber states:Sable and Fortune was originally solicited as a six issue series, but was shortened to four after the first issue was released. The story that would have revealed this relationship was never printed. Fictional character biography Duvid "David" FortunovBorn in New York City, Duvid Jerome Fortunov grew up on that city's Lower East Side during the Great Depression. After ratting out Olga Cimaglia, a powerful gangster, Fortunov relocated to California where he changed his name to Dominic Fortune. Living aboard the Mississippi Queen, a floating casino moored just outside of US territorial waters, Fortune set up shop as an acrobatic costumed adventurer. He also enjoyed a romantic relationship with the Mississippi Queen's owner Sabbath Raven with whom he shared many of his adventures.In 1937, he uncovered a Nazi propaganda plot in the comic book industry. He also broke up a cult of zombies, thwarted Baron Strucker's attempted assassination of a U.S. senator, exposed the phony "child star" Tina Timmons, and rescued the British ambassador from the terrorist Dominic. In 1940, he was rejected as a subject for Project: Rebirth, but helped protect the man who was chosen, Steve Rogers, from Nazi agents. Later, his break up with Sabbath Raven, experiences during World War II, and later life were revealed. After eventually retiring, Fortune returned to being Duvid Fortunov and established himself as a Pontiac salesman in Nassau County, New York where he married and had two children. Retirement didn't suit him very well and he reclaimed his identity as Dominic Fortune more than once. The first time he came out of retirement, he battled Turner D. Century alongside Spider-Man. He began a search for Sabbath Raven, and alongside Spider-Man he battled the Shocker and Simon Steele. He later aided Iron Man in his battle with the Iron Monger. Fortune's son Jerry witnessed the battle and swore vengeance when he was incorrectly told that his father had been killed. Donning his father's costume, Jerry Fortunov became the new Dominic Fortune, though he was killed by Simon Steele. Now seeking vengeance for his son's murder, Dominic Fortune tracked Steele to New York where he was hiding aboard the aging remains of the Mississippi Queen along with a new Sabbath Raven. Fortune captured Steele with help from Spider-Man along with Silver Sable and her Wild Pack, and he was reunited with the original Sabbath Raven. Jerry FortunovWhen Jerry Fortunov thought that his father had been killed, he swore vengeance on the Iron Monger. Donning his father's costume, Jerry Fortunov became the new Dominic Fortune.Jerry Fortunov's career as Dominic Fortune was short. Discovering that his father was alive Jerry, with help from Iron Man, attacked the estate of Simon Steele -- the current Iron Monger. Jerry was fatally injured in the battle, shot by Simon Steele, and died in his father's arms. The InitiativeA new Dominic Fortune is being considered as a "potential recruit" for the Initiative program, according to Civil War: Battle Damage Report.Described as a Brigand-for-hire, this Dominic Fortune has also been shown to be working with a group of vigilantes, called the Vanguard. Abilities and equipmentIn his prime, David Fortunov was an athletic man. He was also a superb hand-to-hand combatant and excellent boxer, and an expert marksman and swordsman. In modern times, despite being in excellent physical condition for a man of his age, Dominic Fortune is still quite elderly.Jerry Fortunov was less physically skilled than his father. He has a law school degree and is a skilled tax lawyer, however. Dominic Fortune uses a variety of handguns, especially German "broomhandle" Mauser using 9 mm parabellum ammunition.

Pulp comics: The Scorpion/Dominic Fortune
The Pulp Super-FanBlog: Commentary from the den of a pulp super-fan « Newer post: Pulp comics: Doc Savage at Street & SmithOlder post: Review: ‘The Adventures of Lazarus Gray, Vol. 4’ » =Pulp comics: The Scorpion/Dominic Fortune= Posted by Michael at 10:00 am Friday, July 25, 2014 in Comics, Review Estimated reading time: 4 minutes Comic-book creator Howard Chaykin has been involved with several pulp and pulp-inspired comics during his career.Most pulp fans are familiar with his take on The Shadow that appeared at DC Comics (and recently reprinted by Dynamite).Among the original, pulp-inspired characters are a pair of early characters he created: The Scorpion and Dominic Fortune.Chaykin created The Scorpion for Atlas Comics in 1975. As some pulp fans may not be aware of Atlas Comics, some background on them. Martin Goodman, who had established several pulp companies in the ’30s such as Red Circle and Manvis, was also involved in comics, establishing Timely Comics, which later became Atlas Comics, then Marvel Comics.He had sold off Marvel Comics in 1968, but stayed on as publisher until 1972. Later he decided to get back into the business, establishing Seaboard Publications and briefly published comics under the Atlas Comics line. Most fans refer to this as Atlas/Seaboard to differentiate it from the original Atlas Comics of the 1950s.Atlas/Seaboard published about 20 or so color comics and a handful of black & white magazines. Despite getting a lot of top creators, most comics were fairly derivative (though there are a few gems here and there). None of the titles lasted more than four issues, and most suffered from what fans call the “third issue switch” in which the titles changed direction either with the third issue or just after it, often including a new creative team. Chaykin’s work on The Scorpion lasted only two issues, with a new team and direction with the third.In the first issue, we learn that Moro Frost is either long lived or immortal, as he had been around since at least the Civil War. Now, in the 1930s, he operates as a urban mercenary known as The Scorpion. In action, he wears a distinctive outfit of blue military-like pants, black shirt, and tan vest (which has chain mail in it), along with a gunbelt. He is shown to be somewhat amoral, looking only for money. {| style="border-collapse:collapse;color:black;font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:16px;padding:0px;width:960px;" {| style="border-collapse:collapse;padding:0px;width:960px;"

I couldn’t find a site with the first issue online, but Diversions of the Groovy Kind has scans of the second issue.Moving to Marvel Comics, Chaykin revamped the concept and created a new character: Dominic Fortune. Because their outfits are similar, most see Dominic as just a continuation of The Scorpion, but a lot of things are different. The Scorpion’s vest was turned into a sort of “onesie” for Fortune, which also had a heart on the left breast. Fortune is not immortal and he operates in Hollywood, not New York. While he is a bit amoral, he doesn’t seem to be as hard-edged as The Scorpion. And he is a gambler, always in debt to his landlady, who operates the gambling ship he lives on. So he mainly is a “brigand for hire” to raise money for rent.Fortune appeared in several of Marvel’s black & white magazines at the time, which allowed for the stories to be a little more hard-hitting for the period. First in “Marvel Preview” #2 (1975), “Marvel Super-Action” #1 (1976), then a series in the back of “Hulk Magazine” #21-25 (1980-81). The story intended for the unpublished “Marvel Super-Action” #2 was turned into a color comic and ran in “Marvel Premiere” #56 (1980). These were the only stories with involvement by Chaykin.Later, Fortune was used by others in modern times, now as a geriatric. The less said, the better.Finally, in 2009, Chaykin returned to Dominic Fortune, in a four-issue mini-series set in the 1930s, and apparently before his prior stories. Unlike those stories, the ethnic background of Fortune (we learn he is Jewish) is a big part of the story, as Fortune works to stop a fascist takeover of the United States.More recently, Chaykin has used Fortune, along with other Marvel characters set in the 1950s, as part of the “Avengers 1959” group, a covert action team lead by Nick Fury before SHIELD was established. They first appeared in a backup series in “New Avengers” #10-13, and then their own mini-series “Avengers 1959.” The ending did leave an opening for another story, which might be interesting.Marvel has put out a trade paperback that collects the Dominic Fortune mini, a webcomic of him (not by Chaykin), and his stories from “Marvel Preview” and “Marvel Premiere.” I wish they’d reprint the stories from “Hulk” magazine and “Marvel Super-Action,” which would be the rest of the Chaykin-created Dominic Fortune.Overall, both characters are interesting, and anyone looking for original pulp style comics should check them out.Chaykin once told me at a Creation convention Dominic Fortune was a stupid character.

Publication historyEdit
Dominic Fortune was created for Marvel's Code-free black-and-white magazine line. His first two appearances occurred in 1975's Marvel Preview #2 (no more specific date given) and Marvel Super Action (one-shot magazine) #1 (January 1976). These stories were later reprinted in Marvel Preview #20 (Winter 1980).A later run in the back pages of The Hulk (a full-color magazine, formerly the b/w Rampaging Hulk) #21 (June 1980)--24 (December 1980), written by Denny O'Neil with fully-painted artwork by Chaykin, included a promise from the editor that a special finale to that series would appear in issue #25. This story was left unpublished due to the dropping of color from the magazine and has yet to be seen anywhere. During this time, a further appearance occurred in Marvel Premiere #56 (October 1980), in a story plotted by Len Wein and laid out by Chaykin for the never-published Super-Action #2, and finished years later by David Michelinie and Terry Austin.Subsequently, a senior citizen version of the character interacted with modern Marvel heroes in Marvel Team-Up #120 (August 1982), Web of Spider-Man #s 10 (January 1986) & 71 (December 1990)--72 (January 1991), and Iron Man (first volume) #212 (November 1986)--213 (December 1986), with no involvement by Chaykin, except for drawing the cover for Web of Spider-Man #10.===2006Edit=== Sable and Fortune, a 2006 limited series saw the return of the name Dominic Fortune to published work. In that series a new version of Dominic Fortune joins forces with Silver Sable to stop the plans of traitors from within Silver Sable's own Wild Pack.In the back of issue #1, editor John Barber states:Template:CquoteSable and Fortune was originally solicited as a six issue series, but was shortened to four after the first issue was released. The story that would have revealed this relationship was never printed. ==Fictional character biographyEdit==

Duvid "David" FortunovEdit
Born in New York City, Duvid Jerome Fortunov grew up on that city's Lower East Side during the Great Depression. After ratting out Olga Cimaglia, a powerful gangster, Fortunov relocated to California where he changed his name to Dominic Fortune. Living aboard the Mississippi Queen, a floating casino moored just outside of US territorial waters, Fortune set up shop as an acrobatic costumed adventurer. He also enjoyed a romantic relationship with the Mississippi Queen's owner Sabbath Raven with whom he shared many of his adventures.In 1937, he uncovered a Nazi propaganda plot in the comic book industry. He also broke up a cult of zombies, thwarted Baron Strucker's attempted assassination of a U.S. senator, exposed the phony "child star" Tina Timmons, and rescued the British ambassador from the terrorist Dominic.[1]  In 1940, he was rejected as a subject for Project: Rebirth, but helped protect the man who was chosen, Steve Rogers, from Nazi agents.[2] Later, his break up with Sabbath Raven, experiences during World War II, and later life were revealed.[3] After eventually retiring, Fortune returned to being Duvid Fortunov and established himself as a Pontiacsalesman in Nassau County, New York where he married and had two children. Retirement didn't suit him very well and he reclaimed his identity as Dominic Fortune more than once. The first time he came out of retirement, he battled Turner D. Century alongside Spider-Man.[4]  He began a search for Sabbath Raven, and alongside Spider-Man he battled the Shocker and Simon Steele.[5]  He later aided Iron Man in his battle with the Iron Monger. Fortune's son Jerry witnessed the battle and swore vengeance when he was incorrectly told that his father had been killed. Donning his father's costume, Jerry Fortunov became the new Dominic Fortune, though he was killed by Simon Steele.[6] Now seeking vengeance for his son's murder, Dominic Fortune tracked Steele to New York where he was hiding aboard the aging remains of the Mississippi Queen along with a new Sabbath Raven. Fortune captured Steele with help from Spider-Man along with Silver Sable and her Wild Pack, and he was reunited with the original Sabbath Raven.[5] ===Jerry FortunovEdit=== When Jerry Fortunov thought that his father had been killed, he swore vengeance on the Iron Monger. Donning his father's costume, Jerry Fortunov became the new Dominic Fortune.Jerry Fortunov's career as Dominic Fortune was short. Discovering that his father was alive Jerry, with help from Iron Man, attacked the estate of Simon Steele -- the current Iron Monger. Jerry was fatally injured in the battle, shot by Simon Steele, and died in his father's arms.===The InitiativeEdit=== A new Dominic Fortune is being considered as a "potential recruit" for the Initiative program, according to Civil War: Battle Damage Report.Described as a Brigand-for-hire, this Dominic Fortune has also been shown to be working with a group of vigilantes, called the Vanguard.[7] ==Abilities and equipmentEdit== In his prime, David Fortunov was an athletic man. He was also a superb hand-to-hand combatant and excellent boxer, and an expert marksman and swordsman. In modern times, despite being in excellent physical condition for a man of his age, Dominic Fortune is still quite elderly.Jerry Fortunov was less physically skilled than his father. He has a law school degree and is a skilled tax lawyer, however.Dominic Fortune uses a variety of handguns, especially German "broomhandle" Mauser using 9 mm parabellum ammunition.==SourcesEdit==

His first two appearances occurred in Marvel Preview #2 (1975, no month) and Marvel Super Action #1 (January 1976), a one-shot magazine. These stories were later reprinted in Marvel Preview #20 (Winter 1980).He next appeared as "Dominic Fortune, Brigand For Hire" as a backup feature in Hulk (a full-color magazine, formerly the b/w Rampaging Hulk) #21 - #25 (June 1980 - February 1981), written by Denny O'Neil with fully painted artwork by Chaykin. Issue #24 (December 1980) contains a short editorial to the effect that although the magazine was reverting to b/w from the following issue, this would be "with the exception of the Dominic Fortune strip which will be in color through its offbeat conclusion in issue #26." Despite this assertion, and an advertisement in issue #25 for a Dominic Fortune story in issue #26, issue #25's story, "Slay Bells", was the last published. Contemporaneously, Fortune appeared in Marvel Premiere #56 (October 1980), in a story plotted by Len Wein and laid out by Chaykin for the never-published Marvel Super-Action #2, and finished by David Michelinie and Terry Austin.Subsequently, an elderly version of the character interacted with modern Marvel heroes in Marvel Team-Up #120 (August 1982), Web of Spider-Man #10 (January 1986), Iron Man (vol. 1) #212 - #213 (November 1986 - December 1986), and Web of Spider-Man #71 - #72 (December 1990 - January 1991), with no involvement from Chaykin beyond the cover for Web of Spider-Man #10.

Originally solicited as a six-issue series, Sable and Fortune was shortened to four issues after issue #1 was released in March 2006. According to the letters page of #3 (May 2006) the four-part tale was unaffected; the last two issues would have been a separate story. He also appeared as a supporting character in Marvel Comics Presents (vol. 2) #5 - 12 (February 2008 - October 2008).In June 2009, a six-part online-only digital comic Astonishing Tales: Dominic Fortune was published as part of Marvel Comics' digital initiative.

Donning his father's costume, Jerry Fortunov became the new Dominic Fortune,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Iron_Man_.23212_28-0" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[28]  though after finding his father still alive he was killed by Steele, taking a shot meant for his father.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Iron_Man_.23213_29-0" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[29]  Iron Man then informed Fortune that the Sabbath he had seen with Steele while in captivity was in fact Sabbath Raven's daughter Elena by Steele's brother (Sabbath's first husband) Heinrich von Lundt.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_30-0" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[30] Seeking vengeance for his son's murder, with the help of Spider-Man, Dominic Fortune tracked Steele and the younger Sabbath Raven to New York,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-31" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[31]  only to discover that Steele had married Fortune's Sabbath many years before. Eventually Fortune, Spider-Man and Silver Sable corner Steele hiding aboard the ageing remains of the Mississippi Queen and Fortune was reunited with the original Sabbath Raven.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_30-1" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[30] In 1991, Fortune was in The Philippines for the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Widowmaker_.233_22-1" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[22] Later, Fortune found and replicated a flawed Super-Soldier serum that Mockingbird helped create. After ingesting it, he was de-aged and lost his memory for a short time.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Hawkeye_Mockingbird_.236_32-0" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[32] In 2006, the newly de-aged Dominic Fortune joined forces with Silver Sable to stop the plans of traitors from within Silver Sable's own Wild Pack.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-33" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[33]  At that time Fortune worked as a P.I., but was also shown to be working with a government black ops group called the Vanguard.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-34" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[34] After he regained his memory and aged overnight, he decided to join Mockingbird's organization, the World Counter-terrorism Agency to stay close to her, making sure the Super-Soldier serum's creator was there to help him if the side-effects got worse.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Hawkeye_Mockingbird_Widowmaker_35-0" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[35] In 2015, he was revealed to have again aged (although still younger than his actual 100+ years) and living back on board the Mississippi Queen, left to him by the deceased Sabbath Raven. He enlisted the help of S.H.I.E.L.D. field director Phil Coulson to help him reacquire the ship after losing it while gambling with Hydra agent Tug Freehand.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-S.H.I.E.L.D._.2311_8-1" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[8] ===<span class="mw-headline" id="Jerry_Fortunov" style="display:table-cell;font-family:inherit;font-size:19.2px;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:middle;width:836px;background:none;">Jerry Fortunov <span style="display:table-cell;font-family:inherit;font-size:19.2px;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:middle;background:none;">Edit === When Jerry Fortunov thought that his father had been killed,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Iron_Man_.23212_28-1" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[28]  he swore vengeance on the Iron Monger. Donning his father's costume, Jerry Fortunov became the new Dominic Fortune. Jerry Fortunov's career as Dominic Fortune was short. Discovering that his father was alive Jerry, with help from Iron Man, attacked the estate of Simon Steele. He was fatally injured in the battle, shot by Simon Steele, and died in his father's arms.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Iron_Man_.23213_29-1" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[29] <span class="mw-headline" id="Abilities_and_equipment" style="display:table-cell;font-family:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:middle;width:812px;background:none;">Abilities and equipment <span style="display:table-cell;font-family:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:inherit;vertical-align:middle;background:none;">Edit In his prime, David Fortunov was an athletic man. He was also a superb hand-to-hand combatant and excellent boxer, and an expert marksman and swordsman. In modern times, despite his advanced age, David is in excellent physical condition and still retains much of his physical skills; he does, however, tire easily.While less physically skilled than his father, Jerry Fortunov was a skilled tax lawyer with some training in marksmanship.Dominic Fortune uses a variety of handguns, particularly the Mauser C96, using 9 mm parabellum ammunition.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="font-family:inherit;font-size:0.75em;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:1;white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[<span style="font-family:inherit;font-stretch:inherit;font-variant:inherit;line-height:inherit;background:none;" title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
