History

Alongside Khonshu, Ra was one of the two Lords of the Upper and Lower Kingdoms, which was among the seven sovereign bodies whose combined power governed the entire world. In turn, both lords were part of a secret council of world leaders under the leadership of the world's imperator, the Maker, who orchestrated geopolitical conflicts and alliances to rally their citizens together under a common cause.[1]

Ra and Khonshu were present at the Maker's castle in Latveria after a summit of world leaders was interrupted by an army of super-soldiers from the future sent by the warrior Kang to kill the Maker.[2] They observed as the rest of the cabal explained to the new member of their alliance, Howard Stark, the insidious workings of their secret society.[1]

After Stark betrayed the Maker, trapping him inside his headquarters, the City, as it closed itself off from the rest of the world, Ra and the rest of the cabal gathered to discuss their course of action going forward in light of the Maker's absence, and agreed on waiting two years to see if the City opened up.[3] He was next seen commanding the Moon Knights, accompanied by Khonshu as they forcibly annexed West Africa to expand their territory.[4]

Trivia

  • Ra only speaks when the sun is waxing and is silent when it wanes. In contrast, Khonshu only speaks when the full moon is waxing and is silent when it wanes.[1]
