History
Xorak was a demon in the service of Cyttorak who was bound by the Ancient One into the Jewel of Cyttorak. He was destroyed by Cyclops and Marvel Girl.[1]
Attributes
Powers
Xorak possesses a number of magical powers, including projections of magical bolts, ensnarement of foes within mystic bindings, teleportation, size changing, etc. Much of his power is drawn from Cyttorak, such as his Scarlet Circles of Doom, which unravel to bind and ensnare others, or the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, which can encircle or bind others. He is also susceptible to magical assaults drawn from Cyttorak by others. Rendered ageless within the Crimson Cosmos, his immortality was apparently ended by proximity to a temporal device, such as a watch, which caused him to age rapidly.
Weaknesses
- Xorak had spend centuries in the timeless silence Crimson Cosmos, and he was painfully sensitive to certain sounds. The sound of Marvel Girl's wristwatch was painful and scary to him. [1] Marvel Girl placed the wristwatch on his head to further scare him, but she caused an unintentional magical effect on Xorak. He was bound to the watch's time, and he aged centuries in mere moments. He turned to dust before Jean's eyes. [1]
Notes
- Xorak's job was to guard the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak and to prevent any being from being transformed into Juggernaut. [1]
- Xorak was easily defeated and exiled by a younger version of the Ancient One. Due to a number of easy victories against various opponents, Xorak had become dangerously overconfident and careless in combat. [1]
- Xorak's death had the unintentional effect of allowing easy access to the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak and its powers.[1]
