History ComicBook / Battletide

''Battletide II'' has a much smaller cast, with Death’s Head II and Killpower recruited by the robots of the Temploid Order, reuniting to stop a new threat taking control of the Battletide - a threat that’s very familiar to Death’s Head. However, their mission is slightly complicated by the unexpected arrival of [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]].

* TokenEvilTeammate: Sabretooth, but only because the inhibitor collars give Psylocke a way to temporarily [[HeelFaceBrainwashing psychically control him]]. Once the threat’s dealt with and he’s returned to earth in a straitjacket.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: It’s hard to feel too sorry for Tasker when the Battletide [[TelevisionPortal surges through his remote coverage screen]] and a demonic serpent eats his hover platform.

Both series have [[ComicBook/MotormouthAndKillpower Killpower]] and [[ComicBook/DeathsHeadII Death’s Head II]] as the key characters, and both centre around the eponymous Battletide, a storm of demonic energy that’s sweeping across space.

* WeCanRebuildHim: Killpower repairs snd essentially resurrects Death’s Head at the end, rebuilding him from a bag of shattered parts.

* EnemyWithin: Bezial tried to become this, but wasn’t terribly effective. On the other hand, he did manage to leave Death’s Head II with a potentially fatal virus before escaping from his mind.

* SealedEvilInACan: It’s not a physical can, but Bezial’s imprisoned in a very secure storage node, a sealed cell within Death’s Head II’s mind. Or at least he ''was''. [[spoiler: He’s returned to it at the end of the series, after being banished from his stolen body]].

* NoSell: The robotic Temploid leader steps in to pacify the enraged Hulk with his powers, stating that it will be a simple task. Hulk immediately decapitates him and tears his body apart,

* CallBack: One to the end of the original series. Bezial made his bid for freedom at the point when Death’s Head was disassembled after facing the Battletide itself.

!!Tropes used in ''Battletide II''

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Termagaira’s fate when Death’s Head II and Killpower push them off the transmitter tower in the final battle.
