Zacek is a fictional character that appears in the scif-fi/adventure/mecha Mexican comics Karmatrón y los Transformables. He was created by the Eisner winner[1][2] artist and writer Óscar González Loyo[3], his first appearance was in the comic number 1 of Karmatrón y los Transformables with publishing date of February 17, 1986. He appeared in comics published weekly from 1986 to 1991 (the period of his top popularity due to the boom of Mecha animes in Mexico),[4] from 1993 to 1996[5] and, in a very irregular frequency, from 2002 to 2024.
Zacek belongs to the fictional Zuyua species and is son of Emperor Canilek. His species and society is characteristically peaceful even though they are always in conflict with the violent Metnalitas,[6] a warrior and beligerant people. Zacek beongs to the archetypical young character that by chance gains fantastical powers. Zaceks is able to transform into a giant robot Karmatrón thanks to a belt named Kalpé-Om and the utterance of the Kalpé Om Praying. He is then a seventeen year adolescent that transforms into a superpowerful being (in a similar way that other teenage characters do in popular culture: as Prince Adam transforms into He-Man or Billy Watson transforms into Captain Marvel).
Fictional life and powers
[edit]He was born in the city of Atlán at the Zuyua planet. Since a child he is inseparable from his pet Jiva. At the age of 17 he gained the ability of transforming into the Karmatrón robot, but his power to do so is limited; when his belt shines it will indicate that his power is about to end and then he must spiritually return to a cavern to recharge the energy.[7] He is expert in cybernetics and created the robots named Transformables.[8] Zacek cannot be in the robot-Karmatrón form for too long in the planet Metnal because of the "negativity" that pervades in such place.[9]
According to the magician Katnatek, Zacek was chosen to be Karmatrón in order to stop the expansionist Empire of Asura and to unite all the planets under the flame of love.[10] Zacek has as love-interest Lis-Ek (appearing for the first time in issue number 4 of the series)[11] who will be his adventure companion until they marry.
