Melon Man

## An Introduction

Melon Man has been the star of Zulax Comics for over 4 years now and has had several periods where his character has had changes made to suit the storyline set in place for him and his adventures. He has made and lost friends along the way, formed the legion of saviours, the creation of the solo role of being the guardian of Zulax Earth and has saved Zulax Earth and the ComicVerse many times from common foes such as Scum, King Charcoal, Melon Man.exe, Truth and many others with his character development increasing by each epic encounter.

### The Early Years (2018)

When Melon Man was briefly introduced in the final comic of 2017 which marked the end of SMG9's time in the spotlight, he had came in as the average hero facing thugs, crazy scientists and supernatural entities that threatened Zulax Earth. He eventually came across the all time classic character being Dr Crazy during a 2 part encounter with Scum which was remade in early 2022 along with his entire 7 issue series. Lore and character development wasn't so huge back then but comedy was and proved how it was so good in the eyes of the audience back then. SMG9 did also make a return in the final issue of the 1st Melon Man's series which marked the lead up to a comic made a year prior to the development of the remastered series. The road to hero comic marked the canon end to the 1st Melon Man's time in the spotlight meaning his descendant and son, the 2nd Melon Man was to try succeed him.

### A Time Of War, Lore And Graphic Development (2019-2020)

The 2nd Melon Man came in guns blazing with his series being also considered a classic and quite memorable with the audience. His first and although last series based on his name was a success with it including the first colour-inclusive comic being made which also marked the 1st year of Melon Man's existence. This was the 4th issue and included a new villain, Divento, which had shown and given the duo of SMG9 and Melon Man new power limits which they were to one day eventually break. The introduction of the author being a comic character aswell marked the start of many new things to come for Melon Man and his friends...

The Exe War had begun! Around a time when many events were occurring the character of Melon Man.Exe became relevant and he started a war with other exe type beings that took similar shape to Melon Man but very distorted compared to the original. This war marked a turning point in the comics and lore started kicking in to the story. The Time Series was created in mid-2020 and it showed 3 comics that involved the exes trying to get revenge or get out of the time-locked war, the war of course was taking place in a different timeline (Timeline-666). These attempts were stopped by Melon Man and his friends each having their time to stop them. The Final Time however was something else, it brought villains such as Magelock, King Charcoal and Scum to the series and they have all made continuous appearances ever since with the exception of Scum as he had then turned good after deserting the battle field in an assignment given by Charcoal according to the lore based around the group of villains.

The End Of Shadows comic was an end to the spotlight of the 2nd Melon Man and SMG9 and some others as they had faced multiple villains in that one Christmas Eve such as Truth, Melon Man. Exe, Charcoal, Shadow Entities and the Overlord! This long comic proved the grand turning point in the comics meaning that the new group of heroes were to succeed them. And that was to be decided the following year.

### New Characters, New Storylines And More! (2021-Present)

The 3rd Melon Man and Juno both were descendants of the 2nd Melon Man and SMG9 and made quite the duo at the time, new transformations were shown and made the 2 stand out from their predecessors, success or something else? The following storylines would decide it as what came before the 3rd Anniversary special would bring back the Exes and their war. Also a new group of exe's that were apparently good? This did make the exe's look like they won in the first part of the story but later were overthrown by the new exes and Juno. Later the character of ComicZilla was introduced and Melon Man became the series' side-character, helping the main protaganist defeat several other titan-sized monsters. When this series ended the 3rd Melon Man's 2nd series was started. The creation of the Legion Of Saviours helped Melon Man make many friends although the absence of Will since the large comic, Civil War, was noticable. Eventually the series would link up with another ongoing series known as 'Weapon Master' and the climax would be a 2 part comic which had the old villain Charcoal return with new goals in sight as a spy for a villain known as Xenon, to work against the likes of the other villain, Senshi Of The Sage and his group of villains which included a demon-like Melon Man Exe with his name revealed to be Exerner, and Magelock.

The brawls which ensued between the 3 factions, The Legion Of Saviours, Weapon Master and other scoundrels and Senshi's gang of villains would be catastrophic leading to the destruction of many cities, the death of the being that gave the 3rd Melon Man his powers and squashing of Exerner by The One. William would also return to help in this battle and has stayed with the legion ever since.

King Charcoal would also kickstart the 3rd Melon Man series in early 2022 and with Mayor Jack's unexpected betrayal of the Legion would make him a new great villain with a great personal grudge against Scum specifically. The Charcoal Empire eventually were stopped from unleashing their armada on the comicverse and were weakened, Charcoal was dead for some months and Jack was left to lead the empire himself after nearly dying by the 3rd Melon Man in his dark essence transformation.

### ENDINGS

This series brought back many heroes and villains, True-Omni Hunter, The 'Evil' One, Corrupted William and Melon.P.Exe would form a coalition to end all of reality, this large 4 part series had everyone put on edge and at their limits to stop reality ending but many attempts failed but some succeeded in stopping or stalling some parts of the plan the coalition had to help them have no burdens to ending all life. The joint effort of William, Insanity, The Legion Of Saviours, The Glitchers Association, The One, Overseer Of Stickmen Lolph and surprisingly Corrupted William after a brief moment between him and Insanity mid fight did they then stop The One after the rest of the coalition was wiped out and ended the ENDINGS series for good.

### Doomsday

To close of the Spring of 2022 Doomsday was a 50+ page comic, the 2nd one to be made, with Fleetway starring as the main villain and the return of 3 characters; Timeline -1 William, The 'evil' One and True Omni-Hunter.

Fleetway went according to his 'grand plan' and abducted the 3rd Melon Man. This later caused an investigation to try find Melon Man led by William, unaware that Fleetway took Melon Man to another realm. Fleetway would then proceed to manipulate and train the 3rd Melon Man to make him into his 'apprentice'. During all the chaos, Mecha-William Exe hunted down Charcoal who was still on Saturcus-8 after the events that unfolded in the comic 'VENGEANCE'.
