History
According to noted occultist and sorcerer Simon Magus, the being was an emissary of a galactic civilization, sent either to offer new planetary cultures membership in a galactic federation, or eliminate them should they be judged threatening. Magus speculated that our planet was deemed the latter.
There are a total of seven different forms, or perhaps identities, that the Incarnate can manifest as. This septet includes Egron the Sifter, Narmad the Judge, Kerresh the Devestator, as well as Shurukk and three others. The manifested form that we are most familar with is...
Kerresh the Devestator
Very dark and destructive, Kerresh is the aspect of the Incarnate that manifests before civilizations that have been deemed unfit and threatening. Its forbidding objective, the complete and total eradication of that civilization. When it arose in Astro City in 1982, it was nothing like the passive, entity that formed its tremendous bulk from stray matter five years earlier. Kerresh was now more indiscriminate in acquiring bodily form by absorbing cars, building parts, chunks of ground, and whatever other matter was in the nearby vicinity.
Further, it had the capability for verbal communication. It spoke, and the message it had to deliver was sinister.
