| Arisen Tyrk was the tyrannical mystic god-king of Other-Realm. But he was defeated and deposed by Stargod (John Jameson, the lycanthrope also known as Man-Wolf). Tyrk escaped to Earth, physically and mentally fragmenting in the process. |
| The most rational and socially adaptable of these fragments became Harrison Turk, an Empire State University drama prof. Meanwhile, three of his other fragments became the murderous, clown-faced vigilante Lunatik. The Lunatiks randomly brutalized anyone they deemed criminal, ranging from drug dealers to litterbugs. |
| This brought them into frequent conflict with the Defenders and their allies, notably ESU students Valkyrie (Brunnhilde) and Spider-Man (Peter Parker). |
