The Immortal Weapons are fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are each a champion of one of the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven in the Marvel Universe. The Immortal Weapons first appear in The Immortal Iron Fist #8 (September 2007) and as a group, were created by Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction and David Aja.
The characters were first introduced in The Immortal Iron Fist #8—and remained supporting characters in the series until its cancellation (#27). The group then starred in their own series, which began in July 2009—with the first issue focusing on Fat Cobra; written by Jason Aaron and Duane Swierczynski with art by Mico Suayan and Travel Foreman.[1]
A list of appearances made by the group, categorised alphabetically:[2]
During the "Ultimate Invasion" storyline, Maker traveled to Earth-6160 and remade it into his own image. While having ruled K'un-L'un and the rest of Heaven's seven capital cities, Hulk and the Children of the Eternal Light are served by the Immortal Weapons which consist of Bride of Nine World-Breakers, Crane Mother of the Bomb, Decay's Beautiful Daughter, Fat Cobra, Prince of Meltdowns, and Uranium Brother #235 who all make use of their gamma injections. The Immortal Weapons assist Hulk in fighting the Ultimates when Hulk had them transported to K'un-L'un before they can enter a Damage Control facility containing a dozen super-powered prisoners. During the fight, Fat Cobra swallows a smaller Wasp only for her to grow enough to kill him. After Hulk used his Gigatron Vice Grip on Iron Lad enough to apparently kill him, Doom finally locates the Ultimates and extracts them from K'un-L'un before things get worse.[3]
