Darkoth

Darkoth's History

Darkoth found himself magically reborn in Otherplace, Promethium's home dimension, his appearance drastically altered. Here he lived for years until Dr Doom arrived in an attempt to convert the entire world into Promethium, followed by The Avengers and Excalibur. Unable to control Darkoth like the rest of the demons and not recognising, the pair fought during which time Doom destroyed the Otherplace's heart with the Soulsword. Doom fled to await the destruction of the Otherplace and S'ym attempted to get the Soulsword from Darkoth but was consumed by him. Darkoth contemplated killing himself with the Soulsword to stop Dooms plan as it would destroy all the Promethium, however he was stopped by Meggan Puceanu who convinced him he had purpose. The heroes left, leaving Darkoth the sole inhabitant of the Otherplace.[6] Not long after Shrill attempted to claim the sword but failed.

Some time later, Darkoth was attacked by the King in Black known as Bedlam, which almost resulted in the cyborg demon's death. Bedlam left behind an offspring that bonded to Darkoth and seized control of him. When Loki opened a portal meant as an alternative means of transportation for the shattered Bifrost, the symbiote-controlled Darkoth stepped through and attacked them. Eddie Brock manifested an avatar using a severed piece of Darkoth's symbiote but was unable to halt its rampage due to Darkoth's Promethium-laced bones inhibiting his ability to impose his will on it. Sensing it could use the Promethium to create a weapon, Darkoth's symbiote manifested a crimson copy of Mjolnir.
