World Without a Jarp

A storyline that spanned all ID Comics titles being published at the time, this epic detailed the aftermath of the defeat and murder of Jarp, the hero to millions, at the hands of the dastardly Professor Brimstone.

With the death of this iconic hero, a long hard look at their own mortality was in order for hero and villain alike, but their introspection was soon interrupted.

False Jarps

Not long after Jarp's murder, four individuals appeared claiming to be his successor.

• The mystic Jarphosephat, who claimed to be the result of Jarp's soul emerging from the Siege Perilous as the Once and Future Jarp.
• The Brain of Jarp, a mechanical body hosting a brain floating in a briny fluid.
• Jarp Junior, who claimed to be the result of Jarp's drunken liasons during his college years.
• Jarpplesauce, a professional wrestler determined to carry on Jarp's legacy of heroism.

None of the four were allowed to assume the mantle, as Jarp emerged from the Fortress of Jumpitude weakened, but certainly not deceased.
