This is the power, the Secret Fire, that the Watcher Angel Anum dared to steal out of the air to create the Ogdru Jahad. Mike Mignola: According to the brain in the jar in Lobster Johnson: The Iron Prometheus, Vril is “God’s own power, Flamma Reconditus,” the power left over after the creation of the world. “Iron Prometheus” is a more evocative name, of course, and conjures up all the implications of the Titan’s gift of fire to the early people of earth, but so far as anybody knows that original prototype (the armor) was lost in the warehouse explosion.ĭHC: What is Vril energy and how does it play into the story of Sledgehammer 44? JA: The prototype for the Sledgehammer armor is what appears in that first LoJo series by Mike and Jason Armstrong. As the armor is a tool of the military, it’s a name that obviously carries a lot more of an “oomph!” cachet than the classical “Iron Prometheus.”ĭHC: What’s his connection to Lobster Johnson: The Iron Prometheus? John Arcudi: This is the first appearance of the armored character as “Sledgehammer.” In fact, the character gets that name very early in the first issue. This new hero is for real.ĭark Horse Comics: Where does Sledgehammer first appear?
