History:
(Marvel Comics Presents III#9) - After being summoned to Earth in 1940s France during World War II, the demon Truth immediately grabbed sorceress Marie D'Arqueness and attempted to kill as her daughter Sylvie watched in horror. Canadian soldier Logan came to Marie's aid and she asked Logan to keep the Truth away from her long enough for her to complete a banishment spell, warning that if it killed her, it would be free to consume the entire world. The Truth then began brutally beating Logan while Marie attempted to complete her banishment spell, unaware that the time-traveling Earth-19333 Wolverine (Logan), Sylvie D'Arqueness and la Reine du Rien had arrived via a Hellish doorway. The Truth's own Reality-19333 counterpart emerged from the doorway soon after and when both Truth counterparts spotted one another, their drive to kill anything living kicked in and they began to battle one another. The two furiously continued to fight, threatening to destroy their surroundings via the force of the blows, and Marie D'Arqueness suggested she could seal the two Truths away with help from her time-displaced family and her daughter. Earth-19333's Wolverine and Sylvie D'Arqueness agreed to seal themselves away as well to keep the two Truths from ever escaping. Earth-19333's Reine du Rien and Earth-616's Marie and Sylvie then began the spell to seal the two demons as well as Wolverine-19333 and Sylvie-19333. After a few moments, both the Truth and his Reality-19333 counterpart realized what the sorceresses were doing but they were too late to stop and both Truths were sealed in stone. Earth-19333's Wolverine and Sylvie followed suit and they were left forever standing over the two demons.
