Biography

In an alternate future the being known as Prophet became corrupt and evil and gave birth to the evil that is crypt. How he came back in time is unknown but he took “Judas” a young woman under his wings and gave her superhuman powers. He instructed her to take his essence to a clone of modern-day Prophet in case he was ever killed. When the day did come his essence changed the cloned prophet cyborg into his new body. He clashed with his modern-day counterpart and when Judas turned against him he killed her and joined the forces of hell under Lord Chapel.

With the power of hell enhancing his already formidable power he battled Supreme the image comics version of Superman and managed to both defeat and shatter his spine, leaving him for dead. He then battled Youngblood, the New Men and Blood Strike. He continued to battle the forces of good until his master was defeated, he then disappeared.
