Space Pirates: Difference between revisions

* During his first abortive return to the main X-titles in 2000, Chris Claremont introduced a vast number of new characters. They were given the umbrella term "the Neo", and most of them were possessed of an extremely fragile glass jaw (since they tended just to turn up, say their names and give a description of their powers in typical Claremontian fashion, and then get punched into oblivion, never to be seen again). Amongst the Neo was a faction of slave traders called the Crimson Pirates, one member of which actually had a giant comedy cannon on his shoulder. No, really.

* Captain Fate in the [[Marvel Universe]] is a [[Flying Dutchman]] [[Space Pirate]]. He occasionally visits Earth and acts as a [[Sky Pirate]].

* In ''[[Wonder Woman]]'', the "Silver Serpent" saga featured an [[Amazon Brigade|all female cadre]] of Space Pirates who travel from planet to planet to steal that world's technology, recruit a small group of the females for membership and the remainder of the planet's people for food stock.

* Despite the name, Star Pirate, from ''Planet Comics'', did not do much pirating. Blackbeard, from the same comic, fits the Space Pirate motif better.
