History: (Daredevil
I#72 (fb) – BTS) – A mysterious shadowy man in a
mystic realm of crystal, Quothar, who worshiped "the Seven," stole the
Sacred
Krill Statue, the bedrock symbol of his religion, then escaped through
the
Crysto-Mirror, a portal to other dimensions. Quothar began robbing a
New York
City museum and committing several other robberies within, frustrating
museum director Normal Daniels. Tagak the Leopard Lord was summoned to
go after Quothar,
passing through a Crysto-Mirror.
(Daredevil I#72 (fb)) – Tagak the Leopard Lord and
his
familiar, Opar, arrived in New York City to search for Quothar,
startling
civilians including Harry and Irene. Daredevil briefly sparred with
him.
(Daredevil I#72) – Quothar snuck silently in the
shadows and
stole an expensive Rembrandt painting, accidentally setting off an
alarm.
Police, including Connors and Willis, arrived shining spotlights but
they
could only see the shadowy figure escaping agilely across the rooftops.
Daredevil investigated, having recently met Tagak, and he found a
warehouse
containing a mirror that seemed to be a portal to another realm. Tagak
and Opar
teamed up with Daredevil and he learned that they shared a mental bond,
and
that Tagak saw through Opar's eyes. Opar tracked Quothar through the
city but
the police shot and killed the leopard then Daniels shot Tagak,
thinking him
the villain. Daredevil easily defeated Quothar then Tagak returned with
his
captive to their world through the mirror.
Comments: Created by Gerry Conway, Gene Colan and Syd Shores.
Quothar was never really clearly shown or
explored. His
powers, motivations and history remained very mysterious. Quothar may
have
been from Tagak's realm or another realm entirely.
Tagak later came back for a brief adventure in Defenders (see his profile) but Quothar presumably is in his dimension's version of jail. And…presumably the stolen Rembrandt was returned? And the Sacred Krill Statue?
Quothar's eye
color was never determined, as he was never properly seen in such a way
that his eye color was shown. He did not appear to possess any hair but
it was unclear whether he was wearing a costume or if his look was
actually his extradimensional body itself. - Proto-Man
Profile by Chadman.
CLARIFICATIONS:
Quothar has no known connections to:
(Daredevil I#72) – When a shadowy figure (Quothar) broke into a museum to steal a 3 million dollar Rembrandt, police responded, including Connors (new to the force) and Willis (who fired off a warning shot).
--Daredevil I#72
(Daredevil I#72 (fb) – BTS) – When the
extra-dimensional
Quothar began robbing a New York City museum, its museum director,
Norman
Daniels, grew frustrated.
(Daredevil I#72) – After losing a Rembrandt painting to Quothar, Daniels was furious and he demanded that Daredevil take down the suspected robber, Tagak the Leopard Lord. Later, the police shot and killed Opar while Daniels fired on Tagak then Daredevil revealed the real culprit, Quothar.
--Daredevil I#72
(Daredevil I#72 (fb)) – Harry and Irene were among a group of civilians startled to see Tagak the Leopard Lord and his leopard, Opar.
