Obviously? I think Tusk is immortal like Vandal Savage! I mean take a look at this!
Thatâs the guy from the new DCU Netflix series, right? The main villain?
Thatâs right. Heâs 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 wasnât for Keitsâ #notaviking, I would have totally gone with this idea as well, however, because of that hashtag⊠I donât 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.
Thatâs just a fan theory though⊠I would be delighted either way. Canât wait to have it all be revealed in due time. ^^
Itâs those corduroy shorts tho:)

why else would he have those tattoos with the Viking design and the runes and such?
Folk metal.
Which makes sense if he is a modern man, yes.
There is no such thing as âViking-runesâ. Theyâre Nordic runes. Vikings were a breed of warriors, but most Nords werenât vikings at all.

There is no such thing as âViking-runesâ.
True, but we all know what people mean when saying âViking runesâ.
But sure enough:
âRunes (Proto-Norse: á±áąáŸá (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, Ă, 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).â
Who thinks to everyones surprise the Big Blonde Brad Pitt man isnât even going to speak English. I donât think Norse is spoken anymore but itâd be cool if Tusk spoke it. Maybe Icelandic or Faroese?
Iâm hoping to hear Gaelic, myself.
Or Beowulf style Old English.
See how random people just âarriveâ to try to start controversy
Iâm afraid Tusk will speak english
Just depends on where heâs from. He might be an American Born Celt (aka ABC. Just like Ms. Wu.)
Necro because tatoo hype
What tattoo hype?
All the tatoo hype. The character is release now so more info HYPE
Mmmmm, ressurecting a thread from 9 months agoâŠ
Vikings didnât use horned helmets, that was only specific to some Germanic tribes. Same way Romans didnât wear red capes, at least not to the battlefield.
