History

Early Life

Korrek the Barbarian is a knight warrior and a prince of the extra-dimensional world of Katharta. Korrek the Barbarian normally wields a sword that projects mystical fire.

The Man-Thing and Howard the Duck

Korrek and his allies crossed over from their home reality due to a disturbance in various dimensions which was caused by serious events taking place in the Man-Thing's Citrusville swamp and made worse by interference via the demon-lord Thog the Nether-Spawn. Korrek emerged in the Earth-616 reality through a jar of peanut butter that was partially eaten by Andy Kale and spread with a knife which later became the warrior's sword. Korrek met Jennifer Kale, Andy's older sister, and the Man-Thing once he was fully in the Earth-616 dimension.

Korrek worked with the Man-Thing and Howard the Duck, who was also brought to Earth due to the cracks in reality.

The strange trio of friends was then attacked by a warrior force sent by the Congress of Realities until the wizard Dakimh the Enchanter banished the Congress. Dakimh transported the team to his Castle in the Sky over the Land Between Night and Day, along with Jennifer. The team travelled to Therea to stop Thog and the Congress from overtaking that reality. The Man-Thing was later actually able to temporarily destroy Thog.

Klonus and Mortak the Usurper

Korrek returned home to his reality of Katharta. On his return, he discovered that his father, the king, had been murdered, and that an evil sorcerer named Klonus had taken over his kingdom. Klonus took Korrek as a slave for one whole year, until Jennifer and the Man-Thing were sent to rescue him by Dakimh. The three of them helped Korrek overthrow Klonus and his barbarian ally, Mortak the Usurper, although Dakimh was killed by Klonus during the fight.

Bzzk'joh

Korrek teamed up with Dakimh, Jennifer, Howard and the Man-Thing again to batlle the demon Bzzk'joh.

Korrek kept working with Jennifer, the Man-Thing, and Howard on future missions protecting the different realities.
