Tusk's tattoos reveal his origin/heritage

Obviously? I think Tusk is immortal like Vandal Savage! I mean take a look at this!

That’s the guy from the new DCU Netflix series, right? The main villain?

That’s right. He’s immortal.

Alot of people like the whole Highlander idea for Tusk. It would indeed make sense why he suddenly appeared in this new modern timeline of KI.

But thing is
 if it wasn’t for Keits’ #notaviking, I would have totally gone with this idea as well, however, because of that hashtag
 I don’t think he is going to be this immortal man from an ancient era.

Everything about Tusk screams modern Viking! And if he was indeed an immortal, then it would only make sense if he was born and raised as a Viking
 why else would he have those tattoos with the Viking design and the runes and such?

But because of that hashtag, something tells me Tusk is indeed not a Viking
 and not an immortal. But rather a modern man who somehow came across this ancient sword which gave him some kind of power
 maybe the sword and the power once belonged to the original Tusk who was indeed from the Viking era, and somehow it all transferred to the modern Tusk.

That’s just a fan theory though
 I would be delighted either way. Can’t wait to have it all be revealed in due time. ^^

It’s those corduroy shorts tho:)

Folk metal.

Which makes sense if he is a modern man, yes.

There is no such thing as “Viking-runes”. They’re Nordic runes. Vikings were a breed of warriors, but most Nords weren’t vikings at all.

True, but we all know what people mean when saying “Viking runes”.

But sure enough:

“Runes (Proto-Norse: áš±ášąášŸá›Ÿ (runo), Old Norse: rĂșn) are the letters in a set of related alphabets known as runic alphabets, which were used to write various Germanic languages before the adoption of the Latin alphabet and for specialised purposes thereafter. The Scandinavian variants are also known as futhark or fuĂŸark (derived from their first six letters of the alphabet: F, U, Þ, A, R, and K); the Anglo-Saxon variant is futhorc or fuĂŸorc (due to sound changes undergone in Old English by the names of those six letters).”

Who thinks to everyones surprise the Big Blonde Brad Pitt man isn’t even going to speak English. I don’t think Norse is spoken anymore but it’d be cool if Tusk spoke it. Maybe Icelandic or Faroese?

I’m hoping to hear Gaelic, myself.

Or Beowulf style Old English.

See how random people just ‘arrive’ to try to start controversy

I’m afraid Tusk will speak english

Just depends on where he’s from. He might be an American Born Celt (aka ABC. Just like Ms. Wu.)

Vikings didn’t use horned helmets, that was only specific to some Germanic tribes. Same way Romans didn’t wear red capes, at least not to the battlefield.
