History

Geb was a member of the Ennead, an extra-dimensional race of beings once worshipped by the people of Ancient Egypt.

Seth imprisoned the Gods of Heliopolis within a pyramid so that he could rule the heavens and the underworld. Geb and his fellow gods remained buried in that pyramid for thousands of years, until Seth came into conflict with the Asgardians, Thor and Odin. Thor pleaded to Odin to remember who he really wass. Not Atum-Re, not Orrin, but Odin, All-Father of Asgard, but to no avail. The Egyptian gods agreed to free Odin if Thor would help them fight Seth, and Thor had no choice but to agree. They all, along with Jane, traveled to Heliopolis where they were attacked by Seth and his legions. During the battle, Jane's pleas to Odin caused him to awake, and strike, causing Seth to lose his hand.[2]

Thor battled Surtur across time and space. Karnilla rescued Balder before Seth’s final blow could be struck, and he convinced her to help Asgard. Meanwhile, Odin fought Seth, and with the help of the cursed Black Knight, the serpent god was defeated. Earth Force was restored by the Egyptian gods and returned to Earth.[3]
