}}'''Kaza''' was a Tarzan-esque “jungle hero” who existed in several universes. [[Reality Z-25 31-H]]'s [[Kaza (Reality Z-25 31-H)|version]], who was the one documented most often, lived in [[the Naked Jungle]] in [[Buranda]] with his “mate”, [[Gwenna]], and was a friendly acquaintance to the versions of [[Jenny Everywhere (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Jenny Everywhere]] and [[Jenny Anywhere (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Jenny Anywhere]] often associated with this reality. | |||
==Description== | |||
===Physical appearance=== | |||
Across his known variants, Kaza shared the same basic appearance of a muscular, broad-shouldered, clean-shaven white man with a square jaw, dark eyes, and mid-length, slightly-curly jet-black hair. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fear in the Jungle (comic story)|Fear in the Jungle]]'', ''[[The Serpent Sorceress (comic story)|The Serpent Sorceress]]'', etc.) In [[Universe (Fear in the Jungle)|one universe]], he wore a leopard skin loincloth, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fear in the Jungle (comic story)|Fear in the Jungle]]'') while the better-known [[Reality Z-25 31-H]] incarnation was a wholesale nudist. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Serpent Sorceress (comic story)|The Serpent Sorceress]]'') | |||
===Personality=== | |||
Kaza was a heroic, selfless individual who was much concerned with his role as a protector of the jungle. Though his word-choice sometimes betrayed his “wild” nature, he was articulate and even, at times, verbose and over-dramatic in his speech patterns. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fear in the Jungle (comic story)|Fear in the Jungle]]'', ''[[The Serpent Sorceress (comic story)|The Serpent Sorceress]]'', etc.) | |||
===Powers & abilities=== | |||
Though possessing no supernatural qualities, Kaza was unusually physically accomplished, capable of wrestling with big-cats and even gorillas. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fear in the Jungle (comic story)|Fear in the Jungle]]'', ''[[The Serpent Sorceress (comic story)|The Serpent Sorceress]]'', etc.) | |||
== Biography == | |||
=== The Congo King === | |||
{{main|Kaza (Fear in the Jungle)}} | |||
In [[Universe (Fear in the Jungle)|one universe]], a version of Kaza who seemed to have been raised in the jungle lived in [[Congo]], sometimes being known as “the Congo King”. He was friends with the British [[Commissioner (Fear in the Jungle)|Commissioner]], who sometimes asked for his help with ongoing crises. Wealthy, elderly dowager [[Matilda Marshall]] once travelled to his jungle in an effort to pressure him into marrying her, which led to her European suitor [[Tom Rubio]] briefly attempting to assassinate Kaza. After realising that their interests aligned, however, Kaza pretended to lose to Rubio in a fistfight, causing Matilda to lose her fixation on Kaza and see Rubio in a new light. Meanwhile, Kaza was free to enter a romance with Matilda's attractive lady-in-waiting [[Dorothy Gray]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fear in the Jungle (comic story)|Fear in the Jungle]]'') | |||
=== In Reality Z-25 31-H === | |||
{{main|Kaza (Reality Z-25 31-H)}} | |||
A version of Kaza existed in [[the Beholderverse]]. He resided in [[the Naked Jungle]] with his “mate” [[Gwenna (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Gwenna]]. The two were nudists, as their jungle's nickname implied. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Whatever Happened to Jenny Everywhere?! (comic story)|Whatever Happened to Jenny Everywhere?!]]'') | |||
==Behind the scenes== | |||
=== Origins === | |||
Kaza originally appeared in a single public-domain comic story printed in 1954 in ''[[Fantastic Fears]]'' [[Fantastic Fears 8|#8]], ''[[Fear of the Jungle (comic story)|Fear of the Jungle]]''. It was a reskinned version of a story starring the identical, more perennial character of [[w:c:pdsh:Congo_King_(Fox)|Jo-Jo the Congo King]], with character names altered. | |||
The obscure figure was eventually resurrected by [[Jay Epps]] for the webcomic ''[[Kaza's Mate, Gwenna (series)|Kaza's Mate, Gwenna]]'', which replaced his original love interest [[Dorothy Gray]] with [[Gwenna]], one of multiple love interests of the original Jo-Jo the Congo King. | |||
