The Karkus was a fictional superhero and the protagonist of a comic strip which originally appeared in the Hourly Telepress in the year 2000. The Karkus possessed superhuman strength and an anti-molecular ray disintegrator, wore a cowl and a short cape, and spoke in a German accent. Zoe Heriot was a fan of the strip. (TV: The Mind Robber [+]Peter Ling, Doctor Who season 6 (BBC1, 1968).)

When babysitting Casey Laws, Zoe told her a story about the Karkus. (PROSE: The Wheel of Ice [+]Error: Code 2 - no data stored in variables, cache or SMW.)

Action figures of the Karkus were produced, (AUDIO: Iris Wildthyme and the Claws of Santa [+]Cavan Scott and Mark Wright, Iris Wildthyme (Big Finish Productions, 2009).) and he eventually received his own publication.

In the Land of Fiction[]

The Second Doctor and Zoe encountered the Karkus in the Land of Fiction. After Zoe defeated him in unarmed combat, he assisted them in their battle against the Master of the Land. Prior to this incident, the Doctor had never heard of the Karkus. (TV: The Mind Robber [+]Peter Ling, Doctor Who season 6 (BBC1, 1968).)

The Karkus never left Zoe's side when she was the mistress of the Land of Fiction. He went on a suicide mission to place a book worm in the Cyber-Planner. (AUDIO: Legend of the Cybermen [+]Mike Maddox, Main Range (Big Finish Productions, 2010).)
