Origin
Deathgate claims to be the living embodiment of all that is dark and evil within the human soul. If that’s true, Deathgate is eternal.
Creation
Deathgate is created by Bill Maus.
Major Story Arcs
Deathgate is imprisoned by unnamed elders. His prison somehow ends up on Earth and is sold by its finder to a pawn shop. The owner of the pawn shop tinkers with it, which enabls Deathgate to escape from it. Making victims, absorbing their energy, Deathgate is soon battling Hellina and Nira-X. Opening a portal to Hell, he hopes to corrupt both Nira-X and Hellina. However, Hellina is fully accustomed to Hell and is able to overcome its corruption. She saves Nira-X from Deathgate’s clutches and crushes Deathgate’s medallion, sending him to the depths of Hell.
Powers
Deathgate can absorb a life-force that is dark in order to grow stronger. With this energy, he can open portals between dimensions.
His only limitation is that the smallest light of good prevents him from feeding on a soul.
