Draft:Prince Zacek

  • Comment: Uncited information, and entirely plot summary. This article needs real-world information to meet the GNG, whether that be via literary reception of some sort, or by in-depth developmental information, or, preferably, a mix of both. This article needs expansion with more coverage before it can meet the GNG. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 13:53, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Zacek is a fictional character that appears in the scif-fi/adventure/mecha Mexican comics Karmatrón y los Transformables. He was created by the Eisner winner[1][2] artist and writer Óscar González Loyo[3], his first appearance was in the comic number 1 of Karmatrón y los Transformables with publishing date of February 17, 1986. He appeared in comics published weekly from 1986 to 1991 (the period of his top popularity due to the boom of Mecha animes in Mexico),[4] from 1993 to 1996[5] and, in a very irregular frequency, from 2002 to 2024.

Zacek belongs to the fictional Zuyua species and is son of Emperor Canilek. His species and society is characteristically peaceful even though they are always in conflict with the violent Metnalitas,[6] a warrior and beligerant people. Zacek beongs to the archetypical young character that by chance gains fantastical powers. Zaceks is able to transform into a giant robot Karmatrón thanks to a belt named Kalpé-Om and the utterance of the Kalpé Om Praying. He is then a seventeen year adolescent that transforms into a superpowerful being (in a similar way that other teenage characters do in popular culture: as Prince Adam transforms into He-Man or Billy Watson transforms into Captain Marvel).
