Genesis 6:4 is a member of the Rapture, a group of superheroes working for televangelist Reverend Skagg. Advised by a disguised Shapeshifter he made a plea to his viewers for volunteers with police or military backgrounds to come forward and join his holy crusade. Twelve hundred volunteers came forward, and Skagg tortured them to death, each in a unique and brutal manner; as Shapeshifter had expected, the violent deaths attracted the Shadowspear, a storm of magical energy previously assembled by Shapeshifter’s former ally Saker, and its energies resurrected six of the twelve hundred as undead superhumans, the Rapture, naming each individual for passages in the Bible.
In Genesis 6:4’s case, his passage reads “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.”
Genesis was the team leader of The Rapture. After initially establishing a reputation doing good deeds, the Rapture ambushed the Elementals away from public view, as Skagg viewed that hero team as abominations serving Satan, but the Rapture were defeated and some of their members were slain.
Genesis carries out the orders of Jeremy Skagg and is not above breaking the rules (in their case, The Bible) to get the job done. He sometimes has to convince the other team members, that what he says is right, because after all…it’s all in how he chooses to interprets things and they are on a mission of supreme importance.
Genesis uses a pistol and a slingshot as his primary weapons. He has special slugs he uses with his slingshot, from explosive pellets to cryogenic slugs.
Recruited into Earth’s supernatural army when Lord Oblivion’s Hellish forces threatened the world, Genesis 6:4 was slain by Oblivion’s servant Cold Mary.
