Deathmatch

Apex is one of many super heroes who finds himself trapped and imprisoned in a mysterious large closed structure. Apex along with the other heroes does’t know how he ended up there, who is keeping them there, or for what reason. He is forced into a death match with the superhero Dragonfly in which he loses and is killed. This match is watched by the other superheroes. Apex is the first superhero victim.

Powers and Abilities

Apex’s powers are, on a lesser scale, similar to those of Meridian himself. However, he is prone to sudden bouts of weakness, the cause of which remains a mystery to this day. In recent years it has been hypothesized that Apex’s power losses are akin to a terrestrial bout of epilepsy.

Apex projects a surly nature, possibly as a result of an inferiority complex regarding Meridian. He is rumored to have fathered a child with Warrior Woman, though the identity of that child has never been confirmed.
