History
The so-called "Idol of Death" was an ancient artifact that would endow a member of the line of Ancient Egyptian pharaohs with the "power of all the pharaohs". When Prince Itor, a person who was descended from the pharaohs, heard that the Idol of Death had been found and was now on display in a New York museum, he planned to steal it and acquire its power.
Despite interference from the Human Torch and Toro, Itor was able to take the Idol and transformed into a green-skinned being with the power to control the minds of others. After Itor fled into a subway, he was found by the Human Torch who destroyed the Idol with his flame powers. Itor returned to normal and attempted to escape the subway train, but he landed on a third rail and was electrocuted to death.[1]
