Big Ben (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Big Ben is the name of a comic book character created by Dez Skinn and Alan Moore who featured as a supporting character in Marvelman, as well as his own strips in Warrior.

Big Ben ("The Man With No Time For Crime!") was presented as a failed result of the same project that produced Marvelman. He had great strength, durability and could fly, but was prone to constant hallucinations, mainly based on the Avengers and other '60s TV shows. He even dressed like John Steed, in a bowler hat and black jumpsuit, and carried an umbrella at all times.

In his own comic series, he is revealed to be an alien shapeshifter, but because of his perpetual hallucinatory state it is unclear how reliable this revelation is.
