History

Rupert Helona (Earth-616) from Nightstalkers Vol 1 4 001
The man that would become known as Innards' life was a tragic one. He was murdered by an unknown assailant but was resurrected by a Voodoo priest. In his new undead form he had the ability to use his internal organs as weapons.[1]

Innards was a member of the terrorist group known as Hydra. He worked in the division known as the Department of Occult Armaments, or D.O.A., along with Rotwrap, Pyre, Malpractice, and Belial. One of Innards' first missions with the team was to execute three con artists: Madame Jasmine, Moorek, and Bronkson.[2]

D.O.A. first encounters the Nightstalkers when they track down team member Hannibal King to kidnap as the lab rat for their experiments. Hydra needed his blood to develop and army of vampiric stormtroopers. They failed and he had to survive a fall from a hot air balloon. When the D.O.A returned to the Hydra base they were severely punished by Baron von Strucker for their failure.[3]

Later when Belial found a body recently bitten by a vampire, he taught Innards the art of Icthyomancy.[4] Innards was also involved with the team when they stole Suze Harlow's body from her grave. He then worked with Rotwrap to take out Jeb Harlow.[5]

After Sin took over control of the D.O.A., Innards was part of a team that attacked Valkyrie, lead by Crossbones, to steal the hammers of the Serpent that Valkyrie had collected. During the battle, Crossbones thought he saw Innards and Malpractice die and left without them. Innards managed to survive the fight but was tortured by Valkyrie, who threatened, "Do you think death can protect you from me?"' Innards has not been seen since.[6]
