Lava Men

Lava Men are a fictional terrestrial race featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are frequently presented in an antagonistic capacity and have fought up against the likes of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers.

The Lava Men were descended from an extinct subterranean race known as the Gortokians. They were transformed by a demon into their present form, which is that of a bipedal humanoid seemingly composed of lava.

One Lava Man of distinction was Jinku, who was a witch doctor that persistently sought to perpetuate a war between the Subterraneans and the surface world. Jinku summoned the Avatar of Cha'Sa'Dra to fight the Avengers.
