The Grey/Black - Earth 2 - Earth 2 (2012)

One of the five elements that make up the Parliament of Earth, the Grey - also known as the Black -was the embodiment of death and decay. Like their fellow elemental spirtis, the Grey chose an organic host to represent them as their champion, granting them power.

Millions of years ago, before the Apokolips War that was tearing across the planet, the Grey and the other spirits joined forces to stop a threat from destroying the planet. That had been the only time that the Grey worked with the Parliament.

The Grey selected a deceased butcher to become their Avatar,who eventually took on the name Solomon Grundy. They had chosen their Avatar first.

After sensing that the world was weakened, the Grey decided that it was time for the planet to die, so that a new and stronger world could be born. To this end, they released Grundy and watched as he began to choke the world, starting with Washington D.C.


"Welcome to the Grey"

The Grey telepathically communicated to Green Lantern Alan Scott during his attempt to stop Grundy, recognising him as the "Jade Warrior" of the Green and expressing their stance that they would not negotiate with him. Remarking that they could not or would not stop Grundy from destroying the world, they added that their paladin was so powerful that even the Avatar would not be able to call him off.

The Grey explained their plan to remake the world from the dead, calling out that the Lantern would not be able to change their mind and that any attempt would be useless. Seeing that he would not give up without a fight, they proposed that that they could stay with him, promising Alan that he could be reunited with his deceased lover Samuel Zhao. To prove their point, they summoned the physical shape of Sam to tempt Alan into his surrender.


"End Times"

Witnessing Alan destroy Sam's construct, the Grey coldly informed the Green's Champion that Grundy would kill him and fulfil their wish. However, they are silenced by Scott's revelation that they had inadvertently revealed Grundy's weakness, witnessing their champion being banished to the moon and preventing them from continuing their destruction.


"Avatars"

The Grey gathered at the Parliament Enclave with The White, Green, Red, and Blue, doing their best to instruct their Avatars in how best to prevent the world from falling to the forces of Apokolips.

Arcanis - Prime Earth - Earth 2 (2012)

The Lore Keeper of  the Hall of Apokoliptian Lore, Arcanis was a loyalist to Darkseid and aided the conqueror in his planetary subjugation.

He was a member of the Court of Apokolips.


"Fate and Fury"

Hiding in the shadows as Doctor Fate investigated the Hall, Arcanis revealed himself to the mage, introducing himself to Nabu. Laughing at Fate as he brought forth Thrall on a chain, he explained the history of the conquered mage, adding that the fallen warlock had been willingly chosen by the Helmet of Fate to become Nabu's new host.

Watching as Thrall became the new host of the sorcerer, he angrily snapped at him for allowing Khalid to escape. However, he suddenly grows agitated by the warlock's apparent pain, demanding to know what was happening to them. Spotting Khalid using magic on Thrall, he gleefully stated that the human would die a slow and painful death on Apokolips. Horrified by Khalid's decision to murder the warlock in cold blood, he cursed him, angrily questioning whether he thought that Doctor Fate could really escape the planet.

He is thrown backwards by the mage, smashing his head against a rock as the hero made his escape. Arcanis was seemingly crushed when Fate brought the Hall of Lore crashing down on top of him.

The Healer's Daughter - Earth 2 - Earth 2 (2012)

A young Green Martian child born to a healer on Earth 2's Mars, the Healer's daughter had the power of precognition, able to see not only her own fate, but also the fate of her home and her mother. She witnessed her own death and burial, as well as her mother's promise to Darkseid that she would join his Furies of Apokolips as the bringer of Death, in return for a child she would call her own.

She also saw that her half-brother would become a threat to any planet that his father wanted, damning any planet to destruction and hellfire in the name of Darkseid and Apokolips.


"Origins"

Cradled by her mother beneath a tree, her mother happily played with her, until she was distracted by the arrival of the Apokoliptian legions. Carried off by the healer into the woods, she eventually died from starvation after her mother's milk dried up.

Her body was laid to rest in a grave beneath the clay of a tree that had managed to survive the purge, an effort which took almost all her mother's remaining strength and resolve to dig.

Her death had a deep impact on the healer, causing her longing to hold her once again. When Darkseid offered her the chance to bare his child, she eagerly accepted, believing that although she had lost one daughter, she would ensure that nobody would claim her blood again.

The Healer - Earth 2 - Earth 2 (2012)

A Green Martian healer was renowned over Mars for her love of animals and her people, the unnamed Martian was the mother of a young baby girl, who she used to nurse beneath the trees and the nearby river on her homeworld. She was said to sing to her patients and she healed them, songs that many would consider to be nonsense but comforting.


"Origins"

One day whilst nursing her child, the healer witnessed the arrival of DeSaad, Darkseid and the forces of Apokolips. Fleeing into the forest, she kept her baby close as she hid, going on the run from invaders.

However, over time she began to grow ill from starvation and hunger, becoming frailer and unable to produce milk for her daughter. Forced to watch as her people were slaughtered as warriors and slaves alike, her spirit was broken even further when her own baby died. Barely strong enough to bury her child beneath "a withered red tree", she weeped over the grave with such grief that Darkseid sensed her pain.

Taken as a slave, she was soon brought before the ruler of Apokolips by Barda and Steppenwolf. Keeping silent at first as he remarked on how, despite being starved, beaten, and tortured by forced to walk to the "pits" by climbing over the corpses of the slain Martians, did not eat, drink or speak she managed to survive, the Healer told him that her daughter was dead and that she would live to keep her memory intact. He went on to muse that she was strong enough to be on the edge of death and lived. Impressed by her resilience, he offered her the chance to be a mother again, promising that her child will be the destroyer of worlds and would be hers to love, but only if she became his harbinger of Death. Overjoyed by his promise and the chance to hold her own child again, she quickly agreed, kissing him on the lips.

At some point in time, the Healer became pregnant with Darkseid's child, joining his fellow champions of War, Pestilence and Famine to become Death, the final Fury in the elite strike force the Four Furies of Apokolips.

Upon hearing what she had done, the remaining martians labelled her "traitor, coward and whore", cursing her for becoming a part of the legion that conquered them all. However she and her sisters crushed any resistance and opposition to the rule of the Lord of Apokolips. She eventually became the last Martian.

Deathspawn - Earth 2 - Earth 2 (2012)

The son of Apokolips and the unnamed martian who would take on the mantle of Death, Deathspawn killed his mother as he was born, tearing through her stomach.

Although new to the world, he had already mastered speech, capable of speaking English. He had inherited his mother's abilities, as well as abilities of his own that were capable of destroying worlds.

Following his assault on the Parliament of Earth and diving into the core of the Earth, Deathspawn completed his primary mission and "seeded" the planet. He returned to the surface to admire his handiwork as the planet began to change around him.


"Grounded"

Whilst heroes were either missing or presumed dead, Deathspawn set about terraforming the planet into a source of energy for Apokolips. By the time Commander Sato of the World Army could assemble and mobilise a team to counter the Apokoliptian drill heading towards the surface of the Earth, he had destroyed numerous cities and covered a large percentage of the globe in "molten metal".

Chanya - Earth 2 - Earth 2 (2012)

Millions of years before the Apokolips invasion of Earth Two, Chanya was an Atlantean living in the underwater kingdom of Atlantis with the rest of her people.

She was a priestess to the Blue, who communed with his representative to find their champion for them.


"Avatars"

Watching as "The Vortex" formed above Atlantis - created strong maelstroms through the sea water - Chanya declared to her people that if the will of the Gods of Atlantis was for their destruction, she would seek out a new God to help them.

Using the power of an ancient relic, Chanya summoned forth the primordial force Azathoth, begging them to help save her people. Witnessing the ancient being destroy the threat, she bowed in respect of her lord as the The Blue arrived to enlist Azathoth as their paladin. Praised for her loyalty and her part in procuring the Blue's enforcer, Chanya watched as the Blue bound them in chains, forcibly taking the leviathan for himself.
