Samson - A descendant of Goliath through Angela and Broadway’s mating, hatched in 2158.
Characteristics
The exact details of his descent are unknown; he might be the biological grandson of Artus or Gwenyvere, or the biological son of Lancelot; it hardly matters, considering that gargoyle children are raised by the entire clan. He strongly resembles Goliath, although his coloring is different. A young warrior tutored in both Manhattan and Ishimura, he becomes a key figure in 2198, when the Space-Spawn conquer Earth. He forms a resistance cell, including Delilah as his second, Zafiro, Owen, Demona, Brooklyn, and Fu-Dog, determined to free Earth from the alien invaders.
Real World Background
Samson was named after the famous ancient Israelite "strong man" in the Old Testament (Judges 13-16), a figure whose name has become a byword for strength. His name bears a strong significance for how humans will feel about gargoyles in the future; like his ancestor Goliath, Samson is named after a "mighty man" of the Bible, but this time a hero rather than a villain.
