Aethelric


 * ''Æthelric is a human in the Marvel Comics portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.



"Yea there came a great quakin' near abouts Stanshamm, and in a time when vile Godwin the Strongarm did'st be laying siege aboot the castle, did the One True Christian God see fits to send a fearful apparition who was all "Smotey emitey!" And I was all "please goeth back to Africa Mr. Robot, in the name of the Lord." And he went.  (I rock!)"

- The 'Man of Iron' manuscript (paraphrased)

Æthelric is a human priest. When the Man of Iron came to rescue the castle Stanshem from its siege around 1080 A.D., Æthelric was called upon to bless him and to ask him to please go away because you scare us, kaythx. He probably also illustrated the manuscript retelling this tale.

''In the actual story, Æthelric's name was lettered 'Athelric,' 'cuz ligatures are confusing to kids.
