A Giant Space Marine Who Unleashes Elemental Destruction With His 2 Wolverine-like Claws

As Henry Cavill gears up to bring the grim darkness of the far future to our screens, it’s no wonder that Warhammer 40K fans can’t help but speculate about which characters might make the cut. While the Emperor’s finest are sure to feature prominently, there’s one name that should be on every fan’s wish list: Tyberos, The Red Wake.

For those unfamiliar with the lore, Tyberos is the Chapter Master of the Carcharodons Astra, a mysterious and brutal Space Marine chapter known for their vicious tactics and shark-like iconography. But what sets Tyberos apart from his battle brothers is his sheer size and the terrifying weapons he wields.

A Primarch-Sized Problem for the Enemies of the Imperium

Standing at an imposing 12 feet tall, Tyberos is a giant even among the superhuman Adeptus Astartes (Space Marines). In fact, some sources suggest that he may be as large as a Primarch, the genetically-engineered demigod sons of the Emperor himself. While this claim is debated among lore enthusiasts, there’s no denying that Tyberos is an absolute unit on the battlefield.

But it’s not just his size that makes Tyberos such a formidable foe. The Red Wake is armed with a pair of massive power fists, each one crackling with energy and capable of crushing even the toughest armor. And if that wasn’t enough, each fist is also equipped with a set of razor-sharp claws known as Hunger and Slake, which can rend flesh and metal alike with ease.

In many ways, these claws evoke images of another famous comic book character: Wolverine. Both Tyberos and the X-Men’s resident berserker rely on their lightning-fast reflexes and indestructible claws to carve through their enemies like a hot knife through butter.

The difference, of course, is that Tyberos is a 12-foot-tall genetically-engineered supersoldier in power armor, which makes him just a bit more terrifying than Logan on his best day.

Why Tyberos is the Perfect Fit for Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40K

So why should Henry Cavill and the creative team behind the upcoming Warhammer 40K show consider including Tyberos The Red Wake?

For one, he’s a visually striking character who would look absolutely incredible on screen. Imagine seeing a towering, shark-themed Space Marine with glowing power fists and razor-sharp claws tearing through hordes of enemies—it’s the kind of spectacle that Warhammer 40K fans live for.

But beyond the visual appeal, Tyberos also represents an opportunity to explore some of the darker, more complex themes of the 40K universe. The Carcharodons Astra (aka the “Space Sharks”) are known for their brutal tactics and disregard for civilian casualties, which could provide some interesting moral dilemmas for the show’s protagonists to grapple with.

And of course, there’s the simple fact that Henry Cavill himself is a massive Warhammer 40K fan. He’s spoken at length about his love for the hobby and the lore, and he even paints his own miniatures in his spare time. Including a fan-favorite character like Tyberos would be a great way to show that the creative team behind the show truly understands and appreciates the source material.

At the end of the day, whether or not Tyberos The Red Wake makes an appearance in Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40K show remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: if he does show up, it’s going to be an absolute bloodbath. And isn’t that what this franchise is all about?
