Prime 1 - 11 (1993) Malibu Ultraverse Jones, Strazewski, Breyfogle Superhero Origin

Complete run of Prime issues 1 through 11, published by Malibu Comics in 1993 as part of the Ultraverse line. Written by Gerard Jones and Len Strazewski with dynamic art by Norm Breyfogle, Prime is a high-energy take on the superhero genre that centers around a teenager who transforms into a musclebound adult hero—complete with emotional baggage and adolescent impulse.

Issue 1 introduces Kevin Green, a teenager who discovers he can transform into Prime, a powerful adult superhero, using a mysterious organic substance created by his own body.

Issue 2 explores Kevin’s struggle to maintain his secret identity while navigating newfound fame and dangerous enemies drawn to Prime’s explosive arrival.

Issue 3 pits Prime against a monstrous villain who pushes the limits of his strength and raises doubts about who is really in control of Kevin’s powers.

Issue 4 introduces a darker side of Kevin’s transformation, revealing physical instability and growing psychological toll.

Issue 5 expands the Ultraverse crossover by featuring battles and interactions with other heroes, testing Prime’s place in a larger world of superpowered beings.

Issue 6 takes Prime into outer space, where he confronts alien threats and faces challenges far beyond Earth’s atmosphere.

Issue 7 features a crossover with the hero Prototype, leading to an uneasy alliance as they take on a high-tech menace threatening global security.

Issue 8 marks a tone shift as Kevin’s transformations become more unstable, and he begins to question whether he’s becoming the hero he always wanted—or something far more dangerous.

Issue 9 dives into Kevin’s subconscious, revealing traumatic memories and hinting at the deeper origin of the Prime powers.

Issue 10 continues a crossover arc with a battle against an Ultraverse villain targeting young superpowered beings.

Issue 11 concludes this run with a dramatic confrontation that tests Kevin’s resolve and maturity as Prime is forced to make the most adult decision of his young life.
