- — Eclipso src
Eclipso is the original Spirit of God ‘s Wrath. After his fall, he became an agent of chaos, possessing others to fulfill his nefarious needs.
history
In the begin, God ‘s Spirit of Wrath was made flesh to punish the severe and wash the universe clean of vice and injustice. then, he was known as Galid. Wrath, by definition, is driven largely by wrath, whereas vengeance requires a more spot hand … In that way, the spirit of wrath was stripped of rank and privileges by its successor, the Spectre. Split apart by God ‘s newly anointed Spirit of Vengeance, Wrath ‘s animalism was trapped within the “ Heart of Darkness “, a black baseball diamond mined on aloof Apokolips that brought only suffering and misery to anyone who came into its possession. What remained of God ‘s Wrath was banished quite appropriately to the dark side of the moon. But not for farseeing, as the gem was found in Africa by a prize hunter and separated into 1000 bootleg diamonds. A one, well-placed hit can split a apparently indestructible diamond. The Heart of Darkness was therefore shattered, a thousand Shards of adequate cut and karat, Each containing a sliver of malefic, were scattered across the ball. Eclipso found a way to act through these black diamonds. These diamonds appear and entice an angry person into letting Eclipso possess them. The first individual known to be possessed was Bruce Gordon. Eclipso would alone appear during eclipses. Eclipso late possessed several heroes and sought to use them to destroy Earth. He was defeated by Starman ‘s sacrifice.

Eclipso then tried to take over the area of Parador, [ 2 ] but was opposed by the Shadow Fighters, led by Gordon. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The Phantom Stranger finally defeated Eclipso, reverted his diamonds into the Heart of Darkness. [ 6 ] Alex Montez had lost a cousin to Eclipso, and sought a way to use it for his own purposes. He found the diamonds ( it is unknown how they returned ), liquified all but one, and injected them into himself. He then covered his soundbox in ‘binding glyph ‘ tattoos learned from Diablo Island. Alex associated with Mordru and Obsidian as the Princes of Darkness and by and by joined Black Adam ‘s group in Kahndaq. He became romantically involved with Nemesis ( Soseh Mykros ). however, Eclipso was able to break free when a glyph was damaged, and killed Soseh. In retaliation, Alex killed himself, leaving only the sole diamond. Eclipso then possessed Lois Lane and Superman. He threatened to go on a rampage in Superman ‘s body, but was stopped by Shazam and Captain Marvel and forced back into his diamond by the Spectre Force. The baseball diamond then appeared to Jean Loring, obviously at the request of Alexander Luthor. As Eclipso, she enticed the Spectre Force to attack all magic-users. In retaliation for its actions, Nightshade banished Eclipso into orbit around the sun. Crispus Allen, the Spectre ‘s current horde, tracks down Bruce Gordon. [ 7 ] Later, Eclipso once again takes Gordon as a horde. [ 8 ]
