Fictional character biography
editDevos is an extraterrestrial vigilante dedicated to bringing peace to the universe, but holds the rather warped view that this can only be done by destroying anyone whom he deems a threat to galactic peace—therefore, killing everyone capable of waging war. While Devos is willing to make alliances with other villains in order to further his goals, he inevitably betrays his allies (as they too are capable of waging war).
In his first appearance, he battled theFantastic Four,then fled in his escape craft while his starship was destroyed.[1]He then encountered and joined forces withPaibokthe Power Skrull.[2]He watched Paibok alterLyja's genetic structure, then arrived on Earth with Paibok. He joined Paibok and Lyja the Lazerfist in an attack on theHuman Torchin New York City.[3]
His most notable act is probably his destruction of theSkrullThroneworld, throwing theSkrullEmpire intocivil war.[4]
Devos later reappears in theAnnihilationminiseries in the pages ofRonan.On the planet Godthab Omega, he was attacked by Talos the Untamed and later captured byGlorian.[5]Devos conferred with Talos, who realized that Glorian was the one-time pupil of theShaper of Worlds.[6]When the planet was overrun by theAnnihilation Wave,Glorian was distracted, releasing Devos and Talos. Ronan ordered the two of them to the spaceport to get off-planet with any other survivors.[7]
Powers, abilities, and equipment
editDevos wears an armored battlesuit that granted him tremendous strength and physical resistance. The suit is equipped with an energy blaster with automated targeting devices mounted on his right shoulder.[8]It can fire projectiles with bazooka force from either shoulder, as well as poison gases or frost grenades via left wrist device and emit powerfulelectric shocksinside the outer surface of his armor. His helmet is also equipped with sophisticated internal sensor systems, designed to allow him see into otherwise invisible portions of the spectrum. It contains a "Luminator", which produces blinding lights. Theanti-gravitygenerators in his exoskeleton enables him to fly at subsonic speeds.
The Arsenal Planet
editDevos has access to numerous space vessels, advanced weaponry, and robotic servants, including Sedators (warrior robots), Servo-bots (robots capable of performing maintenance work aboard Devos's starship), and Bouncer-Bots (large humanoid units built to handle and capture specimens for study).[9]
