''Battletide'' is the title of two MiniSeries published by Creator/MarvelComics in the early 1990s, as part of their Creator/MarvelUK brand.
Both series have Killpower and Death’s Head II as key characters, and both centre around the eponymous Battletide, a storm of demonic energy that’s sweeping across space.
The first series has a much larger cast, including [[WolverinePublicity some very well known Marvel characters]], with some of Earth’s heroes and villains being kidnapped to participate in gladiatorial battles on an alien world.
''Battletide II'' has a much smaller cast, with Death’s Head II and Killpower reuniting to stop a new threat taking control of the Battletide. However, their mission is slightly complicated by the Hulk.
