Welcome to Maveric Multiverse' 2.2 The Next Step in Science Fiction Entertainment.
===
Maveric Universe should actually be called the Maveric Multiverse,but I deside narrow the title down the one universe.The multiverse (or meta-universe, metaverse) is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes (including our universe) that together comprise everything that physically exists: the entirety of space and time, all forms of matter, energy and momentum, and the physical laws and constants that govern them. The different universes within the multiverse are sometimes called parallel universes ,other world line,timelines, alternate realities or something like that. The structure of the multiverse, the nature of each universe within it and the relationship between the various constituent universes, depend on the specific multiverse hypothesis considered.
Many science fictions depict them Star Trek Mirror Mirror episode to All the Myriad Ways by Larry Niven or Marvel Comics What If and DC Comics Elsewhere.Doctor Who uses the concept in various stories and so did Sliders as a series premise.Time Tunnel should and didn't,which might one the reasons that show failed.But Harry Turddledoves written countless book on the subject,far to many for me to remember,without looking them up right now.
I always found the idea of time travel as exciting as space travel and wanted to bebine the two as much much of the material above did,but also explore infinate other time lines as well.
Maveric Lion Productions is trying to do that.Were are interested what hero can fight what other hero,nor we care for multi part event,with multi color some comic companies will give show.We want to entertain you.Expand your horrizons beyond whats gone before.Let other people keep repacking the same old stuff in a new package,we won't.Now not saying everything is 100 % new.We like certain old stuff-tried and true concepts and characters,but we hope to freshen them up-do it our way the Maveric Way,not the Marvel or DC Way.
A Maverick is an unbranded range animal,and a lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates.And a lion is a brave,courageous animal.Lions are unique in that they are the only cats to live in groups (prides). Male lions are also the only cats that have manes, giving them a regal appearance that has earned them the title 'king of the beasts'.

We did choose the name just it sounded like Marvel or it sounded cool.We wanted to make statement.We want to show we different.Not apart of the pack.But we are proud,royal the rest.

Mission Statement
2.4

Maveric Universe Wiki is a collaborative website about characters, technology, place and such that exist within the Maveric Muliverse that anyone can edit!Many articles and pages are directly connected to the fictional Maveric Universe, but also, there will articles, that are not directly related, but places because of their relation, to what place here-example the warp drive propulsion system of Star Trek, Jedi Knights of Star Wars, Stargate gate systems, Superman ;Marvel Comics and so forth. And being an fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs ,Michael Moorcock and Robert E Howard ,those kinds of things will listed here as well. And also, I’m not 100% please other Wikipedeas on the net. This will mainly an encyclopedia on science fiction, but since that include other genres and mediums, all other non science fiction material may be added-actors bios, science, books. This is my change edited and express opinions as I feel, with some editor deciding what’s what and if any, it can be allowed to stay up, online.

Mainly this to showcase Maveric Lion Entertainment creative projects.I;m not here to promote other companies or other people creative efforts.


This isn't over night,wow Star Wars,Star Trek and Stargate is cool,so lets rip em off kind of thing.I've trying to develope my own material forever-since I was a kid.This a 30 year journey to here.I didn't bang this together in a three hour conference like Marvel did their New Universe flop line.My brother Carl Edward Thompson works with on this.I've had false starts-revamps and revamps of revamps.Creativety isn't just bang one ,two three.It alot of hard work.I don't do fan fiction of other peoples material,nor do I have any burning desire to play in the fictional realities mentioned about.To those I am a fan,just like you.This here is my creative playground,not there.and really don't how many other sell out to play in those fiction playgounds.I don't and don't care to,neither-hopefully never.It's hard enough coming up your own material,without having worry their continuety or whatever.


So now enter into the wonderous and fantastic multi reality that is the Maveric Universe,oh seeker of the unusual and beyond the realm of places undreamed of.Where Great Wizards of Time and Space do battle Great Warriors of Time and Space,over a fantastic eons old Temporal Cold Wars,throughout all the infinite cosmic heavens of space.Great Titanic worlds known as Dysonsphere deside the fate of every universe,A titanic fight of good and evil,with the the untold sentient being caught in the middle.

==Plot overview==
{{cquote2|''"By the side of the caravan road a heavy cross had been planted, and on this grim tree a man hung, nailed there by iron spikes through his hands and feet. Naked but for a loin-cloth, the man was almost a giant in stature, and his muscles stood out in thick corded ridges on limbs and body, which the sun had long ago burned brown..."''
|[[Robert E. Howard]]|"A Witch Shall Be Born"}}
[[Image:Conan witch born.png|thumb|250px|left|The opening panel of ''A Witch Shall be Born'' comic adaptation by [[Roy Thomas]] featuring the art of [[John Buscema]].
The original short story was written by [[Robert E. Howard]] and first appeared in a 1934 issue of ''[[Weird Tales]]'' magazine.]]
Queen [[Taramis]] of Khauran awakens one day to find an identical twin sister, Salome, staring her in the face. As a child, [[Salome]] was deemed a witch due to a crescent scar upon her body. Believing this birthmark to be a sign of evil, she was cast out into the desert to perish. However, a magician from Khitai sheltered her and, as she matured, instructed Salome in the arts of sorcery.

Salome — along with a Shemite mercenary named [[Constantius]] — rape Queen Taramis and confine her to the palace dungeon. Salome then assumes Taramis' identity as queen of Khauran and appoints Constantius as her royal consort. The palace guard is disbanded and replaced by Constantius' Shemitish mercenaries, an event which turns violent when the captain of the palace guard, Conan the Cimmerian, refuses to obey the order.

Conan is crucified for his defiance. He strains at the iron spikes driven through his hands to no avail. Olgerd Vladislav, the leader of a band of outlaws and thieves, rides by with a scouting party and spies Conan writhing on the cross. Vladislav does not help the Cimmerian; rather he cuts across the base of the cross, leaving it to fate and Conan's hardiness that he is not crushed by the heavy wood. After the spikes are removed from his hands, Conan removes the foot spikes himself. Vladislav refuses to give Conan any water, claiming the Cimmerian must wait until after a ten-mile trek to the outlaw camp to prove his worthiness to his band.

Meanwhile in Khauran, Salome's reign as "Taramis" has plunged the kingdom into darkness and ruin. The farmers suffer under slave-drivers while city dwellers endure excessive taxation and debauchery of their daughters in the royal court. A rebellion is brewing, and the time grows ripe for Conan's return. Conan replenishes his ranks by recruiting every caravan raider in the region, while keeping them content with the loot from merchants marching toward Khauran, then he wrests control of the motley horde from Vladislav but does not kill him in recognition of him having saved his life. Ready to march on the city Conan fakes the construction of towers and siege engines (all that is really built is just mockups), thus causing the mercenary prince Constantius to ride out of the city for an open-field clash where the fate of Khauran, Taramis and Salome will be resolved once and for all.

First Appearance: "A Witch shall be Born," Weird Tales (December, 1934);
(Marvel) Savage Sword of Conan#5 (April, 1975)

History: (A Witch is born; Savage Sword of Conan#5 (fb)) - Taramis was born together her twin sister Salome. They were the daughters of the Queen, ruler of Khauran. But Salome had the mark of the witch on her skin. So, Salome was declared dead for the people and also for her sister, who always believed her dead. Instead Salome was secretly brought into the desert and abandoned to her destiny, then saved from a Khitan wizard.

(Savage Sword of Conan#217 (fb) - BTS) - Taramis's father died when she was a child.

(Savage Sword of Conan#217) - The young princess Taramis saw for the first time Conan of Cimmeria, then bodyguard of her mother's cousin Khashtris. She stood witness as Ialamis--as only a woman of royal blood could do--broke the mirror magically holding Conan's soul, and as Conan destroyed the crystal demon that then formed from the mirror fragments.

(Savage Sword of Conan#218/2) - A woman, Mishi and her brother, was hired by Lord Arkhaurus to assassinate Princess Taramis. Mishi seduced Conan and--by his recommendation--was made handmaiden to Princess Taramis, while Khashtris volunteered Conan and Shubal as bodyguards for Taramis. Conan was bored from standing watch outside Taramis' door as she played and subsequently napped. Mishi drugged Conan and sent her brother to kill Conan and then Taramis, but Shubal came by in time to slay the brother and save Conan and Taramis, while Mishi was slain by agents of Arkhaurus to prevent her from revealing his involvement; she nonetheless shared the information with Conan before dying.
With the aid of the Eye of Erlik, Conan and Shubal exposed Akhaurus and his alliance with Sergianus, a suitor of Queen Ialamis, but Ialamis then took her own life, unwilling to return to her lonely existence bereft of a lover. With her dying breath, Ialamis asked her faithful councilor Acrallidus to council and guide Taramis, and she voiced some hope for Taramis and Acrallidus' son, Krallides...though she died before she could explain it fully.
Young Taramis was made queen of Khauran while Conan left the city behind.

(A Witch is born; Savage Sword of Conan#5 (fb) - BTS) - At least 20 years after her birth, Taramis was the Queen of Khauran. Her Captain of the Guards was Conan the Cimmerian. Taramis trusted Conan, and showed to him the secret passages under the buildings and the city walls. She also trusted Krallides her best counselor.

(A Witch is born; Savage Sword of Conan#5 (fb)) - An exiled mercenary, Constantius, allied with Salome to conquer the throne of Khauran. Constantius approached Khauran with his army of Shemite mercenaries, faking heading to Turan. He arranged to speak to Taramis. He asked for her hand, but she refused. She accepted to let the army pass through Khauran but she had Constantius confined in the southern tower, until his troops had passed the borders with Turan.
That night Salome, impersonating her sister, had the Shemite mercenaries enter the town. She also freed Constantius from his prison

(A Witch is born; Savage Sword of Conan#5) - In the night, Taramis was awoken by Salome. She learnt of her sister's history, after which Salome allowed Constantius to rape her.

(A Witch is born; Savage Sword of Conan#5 (fb)) - Salome, impersonating Taramis, accepted Constantius' marriage proposal and released the Khauran army. A short battle followed, led by Conan. Conan was captured. Many Khauran soldiers died. Marcios, a young soldier was wounded but fled.

(A Witch is born; Savage Sword of Conan#5 - BTS) - Taramis learned from Salome that Conan had been crucified and that many persons dear to Taramis had been tortured and killed. Taramis was also tortured, physically and mentally. Khumbanigash, general of the mercenaries, also raped her.

(A Witch is born; Savage Sword of Conan#5 (fb)) - Meanwhile the people of Khauran lived in pain. The Shemite mercenaries humiliated every woman they desired. The people was heavily taxed and vexed. Many young Khaurans were sold as slaves to the Turanians. Other youths fled, joining to the nomads of the desert. The nomads, stronger than ever, started to raid some villages.
A revolt arose, led by Marcios, but it failed and he had to flee and hide.
Astreas, a historian, wrote about the bad situation to his colleague Alcemides of Nemedia.

== '''Queen Taramis''' A Witch shall be born ==


(A Witch is born; Savage Sword of Conan#5) - A night seven months after Salome's arrival, the Witch showed to her sister the head of Krallides, Taramis' most faithful counselor. Marcios, who had never believed that Salome was Taramis, learned about the real fate of Taramis and organized her liberation.

(A Witch is born; Savage Sword of Conan#5) - A week later, Conan, survived to the cross and now leader of more than 11,000 Zuagir warriors, headed to Khauran with his nomads, plus a secret battalion of 3,000 Khauran Hyborian knights. A battle was fought outside the town. The Zuagirs and the Khauran defeated the Shemites mercenaries. Before the end of the battle, Conan and some soldiers used the secret passages under the city walls and reached the prison where Taramis was kept. But some minutes after, Salome and Zinn slew all the soldiers but Conan and kidnapped Taramis with the purpose to give her to Thaug, a demon. Conan followed the two, Zinn left Taramis to Salome. The Witch tried to kill Taramis but Marcios arrived from behind and stabbed her with his sword. Taramis was taken outside the Temple by Conan who had to defend her from the arrows of some Shemites led by Constantius. Then Salome appeared, she called Thaug and died. Conan and his Desert Wolves killed Thaug.
Taramis was the Queen again. She offered to Conan to become Captain again and also to become her counselor. But Conan preferred to be the leader of the Zuagirs, then Taramis claimed Marcios new Captain of the Guards.

==Adaptation==
The story was adapated by [[Roy Thomas]] and [[John Buscema]] in ''Savage Sword of Conan'' #5.
The only difference is unlike the Howard [[novella]],Queen Taramis is blond and not brunette,which was done basically to shack the cliches of blond girl is good and brunette girl is evil.Otherwise,a fine adaption.


==Notes==
{{reflist}}
The name [[Queen Taramis]] was also used in the Second Conan movie,[[Conan the Destroyer]],played by actress [[Sarah Douglas]]

'''
Queen Taramis (Character)
from Conan the Destroyer (1984)'''

Evil Queen of Shadizar who plans to resurrect Dagoth, the Dreaming God, of whom she herself is a follower. She is also the aunt of Princess Jehnna.

In the Second Conan movies,[[Conan the Destroyer ]]Queen Taramis, played by British actress Sarah Douglas, who asks that Conan perform two tasks for her: obtain a special gem — which may only be touched by her niece, Jehnna — and retrieve the magic horn that can awaken the god, Dagoth. In exchange, she offers to resurrect Conan's dead lover, Valeria. Conan agrees. Conan, Malak, Jehnna, and Bombaata set off on their journey. Along the way, Conan enlists the aid of his old comrade Akiro and the group later encounters Zula, who joins the party.

They then make their way to the castle of Toth-Amon, the wizard who is in possession of the magical gem. However, Toth-Amon kidnaps Jehnna before they get to the castle. The party then breaks into the castle, with Conan fighting products of Toth-Amon's magic before the wizard is mortally wounded and the heroes retrieve the gem and Jehnna.

They then set off after the magical horn, which is kept inside of a mysterious fortress. Jehnna retrieves the horn (using the gem). After some difficulty from the cult residing in the fortress, they try to make their way back to Queen Taramis — however, Bombaata betrays Conan and takes Jehnna, leaving the others to fight for their lives. Conan and his friends survive, however, and give chase after learning the true nature of Dagoth's rebirth from Akiro. At Shadizar, the magic horn is inserted back onto Dagoth as Jehnna is planned to be sacrificed to the god in order to appease him and ensure no calamity befalls the city. However, Conan and his friends break in on the ceremony, preventing Jehnna's sacrifice — causing Dagoth to transform into an uncontrollable monster that kills Taramis. A great battle ensues, during which Bombaata is killed by Conan before he battles Dagoth. The battle ends when Conan manages to weaken Dagoth by ripping out the horn that gives him life, landing the deathblow when Dagoth kneels over. The movie ends with Jehnna becoming the new Queen of Shadizar and giving her surviving companions each a place in her court. Conan refuses an offer of marriage, and leaves to search for his own kingdom.

Gibson has signed on to Spider-Man.Mel Gibson said ''If a man can hate Jews,beat Jesus for two hours,why not play the eternal twenty something Spider-Man,After,if Peter Parker,was a real guy,he's way over 60 by now,having grown up in the late 1950's and early 1960's.''.If you want to save New York City,from the Green Goblin.ya talk to me.Emil Minty,the Feral Kid-aka Larry Minty will play his sidekick Spider-Boy.Beyonse will play Mary Jane Watson.After all they had Kirsten Dunste,why not her.
