Eclipso is the God of Vengeance, stripped of most of his power and banished from Earth some time in the distant past. This was accomplished by magically transforming Eclipso's physical essence into the Heart of Darkness, a huge black diamond, which was then hidden in a tomb in the Upper Congo. In 1891 a thief stole the gem and took it to London, where a jeweller cut it into one thousand identical pieces. The smaller gems were sold individually, and scattered across the globe. Meanwhile, Eclipso's consciousness had been residing on the dark side of the moon, in a palace he built for himself at the bottom of a deep crater. The fractioning of the Heart of Darkness weakened the spell that banished him from Earth, and he gained the ability to possess those on Earth who inadvertently summoned him. |
