New Amalgam Comics: New Eternals of Apoktan

The New Eternals of Apoktan (Deviants of Titan + New Gods of Apokolips):
When the Presence-Above-All (One-Above-All + Presence) created the universe, he sent powerful emissaries called “Eternals” to bring life to many planets. When their mission was finished, they returned to their planet of Urgturn (Saturn + Urgrund), which orbited the Source of All Things, the omnipower at the center of the universe. When the Presence-Above-All exiled himself from the Source and the Eternals, a war broke out between two splintered factions of the Eternals over leadership. One of the factions devised the doomsday device (later called Armangeddon [Doomsday Man + Mageddon]) that split the planet in two and decimated the Old Eternals. The two halves of the planet reformed into two separate planets: the beautiful and untainted New Uranus (Uranus + New Genesis), and the hellish and dark Apoktan. The powerful denizens of these warring worlds, the surviving descendants of the Old Eternals, would call themselves the New Eternals (Eternals & Deviants + New Gods). The Timefather (Kronos + Highfather) rules New Uranus while Apoktan is enslaved by the ultimate evil known as Deathseid!

Deathseid:
Amalgamation of: Thanos + Darkseid
Real Name: Thanxas
Alias: Liege of Apoktan
Biography: Thanxas is the son of Menkhan and Heg-San, the rulers of Apoktan, and the brother of Eroax. The people of Apoktan, back then, were striving to make their world a peaceful and fertile one, like New Uranus, so Thanxas was shunned for his nihilistic world view. He became an acolyte of the Avatar of Death, and sought power to appease her. When Queen Heg-San decreed that his brother Eroax would be the successor to the throne, the brothers found a forbidden area called the Omega Pit; Thanxas critically injured his brother, leaving him for dead, and absorbed the Omega Effect inside the Omega Pit, leading to his rebirth as Deathseid. He killed his father, banished his mother, and claimed rule over the planet; Eroax returned as a superbeing called Infinistar (Starfox + Infinity-Man) to fight Deathseid, but the villain banished him to a pocket dimension. The hellish Apoktan began a war with New Uranus, claiming the lives of many, many people. It ended with a peace treaty between the two planets, and an exchange of newborn sons between the two leaders, Deathseid and Timefather. But then came a sort of cold war between the two worlds, with subterfuge, betrayals, and sabotage that lasted centuries. Deathseid now seeks the entire collection of the six Anti-Life Gems (Infinity Gems + Anti-Life Equation), so that he can annihilate the entire universe and remake it according to his will. He believes the remainder of the Gems are scattered in pieces inside the collective subconscious of the humans of Earth. To the end of dominating Earth and collecting the Gems, he and his minions began meddling in the affairs of Earth's warring superhero and supervillain populations, such as partnering with the criminal organization called the Intermaggia (Maggia + Intergang) and forming the Secret Society of Evil (Masters of Evil + Secret Society of Super Villains) with the Green Skull (Red Skull + Lex Luthor) and Vandal Doom (Doctor Doom + Vandal Savage).
Powers: Immortality; superhuman strength/stamina/durability/senses/healing/intellect/reflexes; the Omega Effect grants him telepathic and telekinetic powers, energy manipulation, matter manipulation, teleportation, and The Omega Beams, eye-projected lasers that can bend to his will and erase (or un-erase) struck beings from existence.

An assembly was held, which voted the young Menkhan to be the ambassador to Apoktan over his brother Ziran. He was captured by the dark leige's forces and imprisoned, but his sister Heg-San freed him. Menkhan and Heg-San led a revolution against the dark leige and they became the rightful rulers of Apoktan as husband and wife. Years later, as they strode to make Apoktan a fruitful world, their wicked son Thanxas found the Omega Pit and became Deathseid. He murdered his father Menkhan with the Omega Beams and then banished his mother and brother before becoming the new dictator of Apoktan.

Menkhan and Heg-San led a revolution against the dark leige and they became the rightful rulers of Apoktan as husband and wife. They had two sons, Thanxas and Eroax. Eventually, the marriage between Heg-San and Menkhan dissolved from one of love to one of convenience; while he started paying less and less to her, she began subtly wresting royal duties from him, even taking the liberty of naming Eroax the heir to the throne. When Thanxas became Deathseid, he banished Heg-San from Apoktan to claim the throne, along with trapping his brother in another dimension and wiping his father from existence with his Omega Beams. Years later, Heg-San was caught on Apoktan, and Deathseid watched as his right hand Maxissad tortured her to death.

During the war between Apoktan and New Uranus, Stepanos became a high-ranking military officer, reveling in the slaughter of those who opposed Deathseid.

His half-brother Wondorion, a champion of New Uranus, helped the people of Baluur overthrow Kalistaar and his platoon of Paraones; this further rubbed salt in Kalistaar's wounds, as he knows that his father had always preferred Wondorion over him, even if Wondorion is Deathseid's enemy.

Kalistaar battled the heroes of Earth until Deathseid rescues him... and has him punished for his failure on Baluur.

Wondorion was thought to have been killed by the scientists of AHEM (AIM + HIVE) who were experimenting on him, and later resurrected by Black Claw (Black Talon + Black Hand) to serve him, but the Justice Avengers (Avengers + Justice League) freed Wondorion from the latter's control. Meanwhile, AHEM captured Grimven and tortured him for snooping around their base looking for Wondorion, and the New Eternal's left hand was chopped off. The alien villain Submind (Sublime + Mr. Mind) used his telepathic power to free Grimven and gave him an opportunity to find and bring back Wondorion to their homeworld, but only if he (and the team they form) helps Submind destroy Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell + Billy Batson). With technology bought from The Fusioner (Tinkerer + Fusionn), Grimven replaces his left hand with a weaponized scythe, and he joins the Legion of Monsters (Lethal Legion + Monster Society of Evil).

Paraones:
Amalgamation of: Mindless Ones + Parademons
Biography: The Paraones are magically-created monsters from the Dread Dimension. They are a race that faces enslavement on two fronts: the Leige of Apoktan Deathseid and the Dark Dimension's Sorcerer Supreme, Neromammu (Dormammu + Neron). They are not particularly intelligent, and most appear to have rudimentary or nonexistent communication skills, though a few have developed the ability to talk. Most also lack a concept of self-awareness or self-determination, and are largely unthinking slaves to a stronger will, be it that of Neromammu, Deathseid, or one of Deathseid's elite. They tend to rely on sheer volume to overwhelm opponents, and are rarely encountered on their own. Despite this, they are ruthlessly efficient and experienced soldiers. Only a few have managed to attain free will and escape captivity, such as the Paraone that is a member of the Earth-based villain team, the Secret Syndicate (Sinister Syndicate + Secret Six).
Powers: Super strength/durability/stamina; energy projection from the single eye that makes up its face; wings for flight.

As a female, Harkness also was tasked with breeding with other soldiers to conceive future soldiers for Deathseid's armies; the Seven Furies she now commands are all, biologically, her granddaughters from various breeding partners.

Virman was captured by New Uranus' forces and condemned to existence as a sentient vapor in the void of space; this lasted until the Silver Pariah (Silver Surfer + Pariah), a herald of Galactiac (Galactus + Brainiac), flew through the vapor and left behind the tiniest fraction of the Power Cosmic, which allowed Deathseid to find and reassemble Virman Ghaur.

Iluthin fell in love with a woman, but the assassin Kanstrom the 13th killed her; Iluthin killed Kanstrom in battle and, because he was manipulated by Deathseid, he accepted the role of the new Kanstrom.

Man-Ripper:
Amalgamation of: Mangog + Rip Roar
Biography: Many eons ago, the four-armed juggernaut known as the Man-Ripper was dispatched along with his hated rival Kalistaar, to plunder treasure for their master Deathseid. Man-Ripper came to an ancient Earth where the last Old Eternal Borzaz (Bor + Arzaz), and his son Hippodin (Odin + Hippolyta), ruled over the empire known as Themsgard (Asgard + Themyscira). Man-Ripper proved too much for the Amazardians to handle, so Borzaz banished him to the deepest cavern in the Earth, which had its only passage blocked by the Enchantistone. With his Uni-Box sabotaged by Kalistaar and Maxisaad, Man-Ripper was unable to escape.
In modern times, the monstrous Delik (Ulik + Decay), an enemy of Borzaz's granddaughter Thorana aka Thunder Woman (Thor + Wonder Woman), found himself lost in the same caves and he found the Enchantistone, inscribed with words saying that the being imprisoned inside wasn't to be freed by order of the Themsgardian Royal Family; figuring that whomever's inside could be a potential ally, Delik tried to destroy the Enchantistone. The young hero team Runaway Justice (Runaways + Young Justice), who were also stuck in the cavern, recognized Delik as a villain and tried to stop him. The Enchantistone was destroyed in the battle and the Man-Ripper was freed; he ignored Delik as he blasted his way to the surface. Thunder Woman battles Man-Ripper and barely defeats him with Runaway Justice's help, trapping the beast in molten lava that then solidifies. A portal then opened and vacuumed up the rocky prison, taking Man-Ripper back to Apoktan...

Spoken to be as powerful as Deathseid himself, Mantinax tried to conquer Earth a millenium ago, but the young king Hippodin defeated the egotistical Mantinax and banished him to a tear in space-time; as this was the second time an Earthling managed to best his forces, Deathseid became more interested in Earth.

Driven to destroy Deathseid, Primestone rampages across the city to blindly find a means to travel to Apoktan. A multitude of heroes show up to defeat him, and Torchstorm (Human Torch + Firestorm) of the Justice Four claims victory by absorbing all of his nuclear energy. With the Primestone left behind, the New Uranians fill in the heroes on what it does.
