The Scarlet Skier (real name Dren Keeg) is a DC Comics supervillain/superhero. Created by Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis during their comedy Justice League period, he first appeared in Justice League America #36 (1990).
The Scarlet Skier is the herald for a cosmic being known as Mr. Nebula. He is a parody of the classic Marvel Comics character the Silver Surfer who is a herald for a cosmic being known as Galactus. The Skier doesn't wish to be a herald. His attempts to escape are sometimes thrwarted by Mr. Nebula, who is simply too naive to understand the Skier.
The Scarlet Skier is the archenemy of G'nort, a comically incompetent Green Lantern. Later the Scarlet Skier becomes stranded on Earth and becomes a friend of G'nort. The Skier reforms his evil ways and joins the Justice League Antarctica.

Famous quotes containing the word scarlet:
“The great events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when one thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
