The Incarnate
HistoryAccording to noted occultist and sorcerer Simon Magus, the being was an emissary of a galactic civilization, sent either to offer new planetary cultures membership in a galactic federation, or eliminate them should they be judged threatening. Magus speculated that our planet was deemed the latter. There are a total of seven different forms, or perhaps identities, that the Incarnate can manifest as. This septet includes: Egron the SifterThe one whom the Astro City populace first saw after he transformed himself from stray matter and started growing a brain stem and nervous system. He seems to be the one who "sifts" through a world through all of the good and bad for observation. After a few days he turned into: Narmad the JudgeA being that is more of a bluish hue, with some sort of helmet and a sash. He is the presumed judging aspect, whether a planet is worthy of joining either The Continuum. This personality seemed to give Earth a "bad" judgment, but was blinked out by the arrival of the Apollo Eleven who busted seemingly from within. The manifested form most familiar is...
Kerresh the DevastatorVery dark and destructive, Kerresh is the aspect of the Incarnate that manifests before civilizations that have been deemed unfit and threatening. Its forbidding objective, the complete and total eradication of that civilization. When it arose in Astro City in 1982, it was nothing like the passive, entity that formed its tremendous bulk from stray matter five years earlier. Kerresh was now more indiscriminate in acquiring bodily form by absorbing cars, building parts, chunks of ground, and whatever other matter was in the nearby vicinity. Further, it had the capability for verbal communication. It spoke, and the message it had to deliver was sinister.
PowersHis power is in part held by the Apollo Eleven, who could call upon it at will.
