History

Pharaoh Khasekhemwy Khasekehemui of the Second Dynasty was the ruler of the upper and lower kingdoms of Egypt. Allegedly the greatest of his generation, he was presented or presented himself as the son of Horus and Set.[1]

When a Brood vessel crashed in Egypt in 2620 BC, he went inspect the crash site, only to be dragged in the hole and be infected by them. This ended the Second Dynasty.[1]

After his death, Imhotep and his allies (including En Sabah Nur, the First Horsemen, and the Moon Knight) defeated the Brood.[1][2][3]

Notes

  • The real-life Khasekhemwy died in 2686 BC. In Marvel Comics, this is changed to 2620 BC.[1]
    • This is relevant for Hydra, as its files state the origin of Hydra dates back to the Third Dynasty of Egypt.[4] Hydra is one of the organizations that emerged from Imhotep's battle with the Brood in 2620 BC (it is based on Imhotep's Spear).[5] 2620 BC would still be in the Second Dynasty in real life, but it is the start of the Third Dynasty in Marvel Comics.
