In a small insignificant cave lay a small insignificant stranger.
Lord Darkseid, in his morbid wisdom, sent his Fallen Arbiter to suppress the existing denizens of Inverxe. The work was grim, and led to several prison complexes all over Inverxe. Particularly unjustly were the more peace-loving creatures treated; they were sent to labor camps and forced to work until they died, often of frostbite.
Our stranger should not be in these camps.
When the stranger was discovered, he had apparently long since cut his way through an entire pack of Xenomorphs. He left their singed corpses in a mangled mess, blanketed by a layer of bloody snow. Embedded into this pile of bodies was a single signpost, upon which was inscribed the subject’s name in an alien script. The locals mentioned a mad hermit in a nearby cave who burnt entire villages for looking at him the wrong way. Some called him the Warlock King, others a freak.
He was still no match for the forces of Darkseid, and was captured. There was interest in transforming this individual, who was clearly a fearsome warrior, into one of Darkseid’s numbers. Yet when Ruby Quartz's monsters (those that were left) finally infiltrated the hermit’s cave, they found only an emaciated green dwarf with a permanent smile. Capturing him was surprisingly simple.
And thus was the stranger trapped in a prison with the other civilians. It had been years since any of them had been fed. Some unnatural magic kept them from starving to death, though not from feeling the pain of hunger. The other workers in the prison were in constant agony, forced through mind control to slave away with no promise of relief. None of them had any plans of escape.
But this curse of life would only serve him. Our stranger was no stranger to siphoning dark energy.
The day had finally come. The hermit would no longer separate himself from society once his grim task was complete. He would wreak havoc upon Darkseid, unlike any he had ever known.
The prison's lycanthropic guards found him one day, huddled in a corner of his cell, refusing to work. The others had tried to convince him to rise, but the stranger responded only with whispers of “fink-rats”. The punishment for such defiance was simple.
It should have been simple.
The other prisoners, if you could ask them, would not have known what happened. There was an explosion of darkness that burst out from the stranger’s cell. The Parademons scrambled to their feet, hissing and growling even with their charred flesh. Several tentacles emerged from the cell, borne of intense darkness, gripping the Parademons by their necks. Darkseid’s mightiest warriors were thrown about, their innards flying as their skin split from the much-too-many impacts.
The other prisoners bent the knee to their would-be savior, their eyes begging for salvation. They thanked him for his work, and claimed they owed their lives to him.
As the darkness swelled around the stranger again, he agreed. They owed their lives to him, and nobody was to be spared that day.
The stranger lifted a single mangled claw towards the heavens. He was free. He was finally free. His green fingers crackled with dark energy, gripping tightly onto something that wasn’t there. His grip was unbreakable, his conviction absolute. He would have his glory and his vengeance, everything he deserved. But, to the world, he had only three words to say.
“I…” Fawful chortled, “Have… Fury.”
