History

Cthulhu was allegedly the sire of the Dweller in Darkness.

He was also one of the many entities invoked in the counterspell from the Book of R'lyeh that would banish the N'Garai back in their dimension.

Notes

• Cthulhu was created by H.P. Lovecraft in the short story "The Call of Cthulhu" (Weird Tales; February, 1928).
• In the Mythos-riddled Adventures of the X-Men #4 (July, 1996), the Dweller-in-Darkness was stated to be "a true offspring of Great Cthulhu".
  • That information was reprised in the corrections on Marvel.com of his profile in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Horror 2005 #1 (October, 2005) ("alleged spawn of the Old One Cthulhu"), and is still present on the Dweller-in-Darkness' profile on Marvel.com.
  • It was later retconned, corrected or precised in the Dweller-in-Darkness' profile in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z #3 (July, 2008), who stated that the Dweller was "considered a worthy scion of the Great Old One Cthulhu, though no direct relationship exists."
