Fantastic Four I#391 (August, 1994);
(identified, fully seen): Fantastic Four I#392
(September, 1994)
Powers/Abilities: After passing through the
Terrigen Mists, Devlor turned into a 7'2" monster man with thick fur
and claws, sharp teeth and super-strength. He developed the rare
ability among Inhumans to change back into his human form. After
exposure to the Omnivirus, Devlor briefly lost the ability to change
back to human form and he grew more bestial for a time.
Eventually, his monstrous body died, freeing a new
form of the human Devlor beneath him and he grew into a bigger and
stronger monster form, now with an enhanced sense of smell. Any other
impact on his powers are unrevealed.
There have been statements or theories about Devlor
being "the One" of Inhuman legend or having connections to the "Great
Beasts" of Inhuman legend but no explanations have been provided.
For a time, Devlor had access to the vast technology of both the Fantastic Four and the Black Panther.
Height: 5'6''; (transformed): 7'2''
Weight: 140 lbs.
Eyes: Green
Hair: Brown; (transformed): purple
History: (Fantastic Force I#8 (fb) –
BTS) – In Attilan, Devlor grew up idolizing the Inhuman heroes, the
Crimson Cadre.
(Fantastic Four I#392 (fb) – BTS) – After undergoing Terrigenesis, the Inhuman boy Devlor emerged from the mists as a 7'2" furred beast but he soon discovered he had the rare ability to change back into his human form. This ability to change made Devlor a pariah among his people and he was sent away.
(Fantastic Four I#391 (fb) – BTS) – Devlor went to live with the Royal Family on Earth in their circus freak show.
(Fantastic Four I#391) – When Black Panther dropped by with Vibraxas, explaining how he wanted the boy to learn from the Fantastic Four, the Royal Family chose to send Devlor with them so he could also learn from the heroes.
(Fantastic Four I#392) – Devlor (calling himself Devlor the Deadly), Vibraxas and Black Panther landed at the Baxter Building, where they met Psi-Lord (a time-traveling adult Franklin Richards) and Huntara. They soon helped the Fantastic Four (Invisible Woman, Thing) fight off the Dark Raider (the Reed Richards of Earth-944). During the fight, Devlor shifted into his monstrous form and Dark Raider commented how he'd never known an Inhuman who had two distinct forms before he waylaid Devlor with giant boulders grown from crystals. Before the battle ended, Aron the Watcher killed the Dark Raider, who possessed the Ultimate Nullifier.
(Fantastic Force I#1 (fb) – BTS) – Devlor remained with Black Panther and Vibraxas, though Devlor frequently argued with Vibraxas. They stayed at the Regency Arms in New York City.
(Fantastic Force I#1) – Devlor argued with Vibraxas then saw that Psi-Lord and Huntara had arrived. After Devlor ordered room service, he heard that Klaw attacked. Overcoming his own fear, he rushed to aid Vibraxas, Huntara and Psi-Lord, and attacked Klaw but the villain swiftly blasted Devlor through the window. Psi-Lord saved Devlor from falling then he connected with the other three mentally so they could coordinate their attacks and battle Klaw. During the ensuing fight, Devlor tackled a buffalo made of sound but they were all defeated, though Black Panther arrived to defeat Klaw at the last minute. The four heroes chose to band together as the Fantastic Force and Devlor saw it as the chance of a lifetime.
(Fantastic Force I#2) – The Black Panther leased an entire building to the Fantastic Force as their headquarters and living quarters, and Devlor was thrilled. Huntara was helping Devlor test the limits of his strength when Psi-Lord alerted the team (minus Vibraxas, who had stormed off) to a local emergency and they rushed off through a portal, where they were attacked by Zarathrusta and the armored men of Lord Moses. Devlor took several hits as the villains swarmed him and he began to realize that his life could actually be at risk. Vibraxas joined the fight and Devlor was bested by Zarathrusta multiple times, causing him to doubt himself.
(Fantastic Force I#3) – When his team insisted, Devlor agreed to enroll himself in school, though he joked that television could teach him all he needed to know. Devlor met school administrator Mr. Barrows and social studies teacher Sonia Wu, who knew about Devlor's super hero identity. Quickly bored with school, Devlor was soon attacked by the Seeker, who demanded Devlor's return to Attilan and the Genetics Council. Devlor changed to his monstrous form and refused to go then he fled from the pursuing Seeker, who soon threw a car with humans inside at Devlor, and Devlor saved them. Realizing the Seeker would never back down, Devlor grabbed him and considered breaking his neck but ultimately, he tossed the Seeker aside, unable to kill him. As Seeker pressed his attack against Devlor, Devlor argued that he should have the right to pursue his own destiny. The Seeker, realizing the boy was "the One," chose to let Devlor go and he reported back to Attilan that Devlor had been terminated. As the Seeker left, he warned Devlor that there would be consequences if his lie was discovered.
(Avengers
I#383) – With Huntara and Vibraxas off in Wakanda, Devlor and Psi-Lord
were focused on settling in to their headquarters with Devlor moving
boxes in. Shatterstar (Arides) attacked, bringing the unconscious body
of Crystal with him, and he soon captured Devlor as well with the
intention of returning them both to the Kree. The Avengers (Deathcry,
Giant-Man/Hank Pym, Quicksilver/Pietro Maximoff, Thunderstrike/Eric
Masterson, Vision) attacked, defeating Shatterstar and freeing the
others.
(Fantastic Force I#4 (fb) – BTS) – Psi-Lord helped
Devlor choose new clothing to wear in public. His poor eating habits
became known to his teammates. (Fantastic Force I#4) – Devlor grew bored in Ms. Wu's
class, especially after kids teased him for not being attracted to Wu
and Devlor was glad to be summoned by the team. The Fantastic Force
were sent by Isaac Sandor to aid Captain America against the
Super-Adaptoid Batch-13. During the battle, Devlor hit the creature
but he was burned in return. The team worked together to overload the
Adaptoid then Devlor helped knock it through a portal with Cap's
shield. Devlor was baffled when the local civilians celebrated the team. (Fantastic Force I#5) – Devlor and Vibraxas checked
on Psi-Lord after he had a psychic outburst during a nightmare.
Psi-Lord was later taken over by Dreadface and he defeated Vibraxas
and Devlor before Huntara banished Dreadface.
(Secret Defenders I#25) – Psi-Lord warned the
Fantastic Force of danger nearby. (Fantastic Force I#6) – The Fantastic Force defeated
Grey Gargoyle, who was then taken away by Code: Blue, and the team grew
accustomed to the media being on their side. At school, Devlor saw
Leroy, Elmo and others engaging in a drug deal and he turned to
Devlor when they accosted him, scaring them away. Later, the Fantastic
Force fought gang members, the Wakandan Lords and the Sons of Sinaju,
but the super-powered Go-Devil attacked and the battle ended when
Vibraxas accidentally killed one of the youths. (Fantastic Four I#400) – The heroes broke into teams
with Devlor working with Invisible Woman, Lyja, Nathaniel Richards and
Human Torch to confront the Celestials, and Sue managed to burst her
way past one of their armored shells. Inside the Celestial, they used
their skills to navigate the interior of the giant before Sue
interfaced with the Celestial. Soon, Uatu pulled them back out to the
main conflict and the battle ended up with Aron dead and Uatu
banished. After the ground shook, Uatu returned the team to the base on
the moon, where Boris (secretly Zarrko) waited. (Fantastic Force I#8) – With Lyja, the Fantastic
Force (without Vibraxas) reviewed the news that the rise of Atlantis
was putting Attilan in danger and that the Crimson Cadre was attacking
Hawaii. Leaving Vibraxas behind and following council from Nathaniel
Richards, the heroes went to confront the Crimson Cadre. During the
battle, Devlor's head ached from General Ator's Atmo-Gun and Rootar
easily knocked Devlor back, calling him "no true Inhuman." Devlor broke
free and rushed from the battle to clear his head then Arkadine
Arcadius reached out to Devlor via mental projection with an offer.
Arcadius explained that he could stabilize Devlor's transformation and
use his DNA to change Terrigenesis for the entire stagnating Inhuman
race but Devlor refused him, saying he didn't trust the Genetics
Council. After the Cadre was defeated, the team returned to their base,
where they saw Vibraxas and reporter Paul Alvarez, who claimed that
Huntara was his long-lost sister, Mary Elizabeth Alvarez. (Fantastic Force I#9) – Wanting answers regarding
Huntara's origins, Psi-Lord tracked Nathaniel Richards to Latveria and
Huntara opened a portal for the team. There, Devlor, Lyja and the
others found Human Torch fighting Richards. Richards tricked Human
Torch into battling the Fantastic Force and Devlor's fur was briefly
set aflame before Vibraxas helped him put it out. When the heroes
turned against Richards, he lashed out at Psi-Lord, causing his powers
to go out of control. When Psi-Lord got control of his powers again,
the others were all shocked to see a toddler Franklin Richards standing
in front of them along with Psi-Lord. (Fantastic Four: Atlantis Rising#2) – The Fantastic
Force saw the toddler Franklin fade away and Psi-Lord figured his
armor had malfunctioned. The team went on to find both Nathaniel
Richards and the shrunken city of Attilan. The team, with Lyja and
Human Torch, tracked down Nathaniel Richards but found him allied with
Morgan le Fey and the Inhuman Genetics Council (Cynas, Furgar, Porcal,
Sapphiras, Targon). As Psi-Lord struggled to control his armor, the
Council prepared to attack and Targon yelled he wanted to handle the
"deviate" Devlor himself. They found Morgan le Fey wielding the Ebony
Blade with captive heroes Thing, Dr. Doom (Vernard), Ant-Man (Lang),
Invisible Woman, Namor and Thor. Devlor and Targon sparred briefly
then Morgan restrained the Fantastic Force as well. Events grew more
complicated as the Royal Family, Nathaniel Richards and Crimson Cadre
got involved. Soon, the heroes escaped in Invisible Woman's force
field. In the end, the villains were defeated, Atlantis was secured
and the Human Torch chose to join the Fantastic Force. (Fantastic Force I#10) – Devlor watched as Black
Panther confronted Vibraxas about the death of the gang member and the
Human Torch was appointed the new Fantastic Force leader. As Huntara
argued with the others, Psi-Lord, now flanked by three alternate
versions of himself (young Tattletale, Ego-Spawn and Avatar)
intervened, stopping a fight from breaking out. Psi-Lord helped them
track down Zarathrusta and her men, who'd stolen the powerful
Omnivirus and Psi-Lord sent the team after them while he and his
other selves stayed behind. The heroes were gaining the upper hand
until Lord Moses attacked. (Fantastic Force I#11) – Lord Moses restrained the
Fantastic Force, using an Adamantium Filament Collar to contain Devlor.
Psi-Lord arrived to help as Huntara freed herself and the others and
they battled Lord Moses' men as Moses fired the Omnivirus rocket.
Devlor tried to stop it and inhaled the virus before Human Torch
destroyed the rocket then Devlor realized he couldn't change back into
his human form. After a brief stop at their headquarters, Huntara took
the team to Elsewhen to aid Psi-Lord and they faced the threat of
Vangaard. (Fantastic Force I#12) – Devlor tried grabbing
Vangaard but the villain reformed his armor into a giant fist and
punched Devlor. Devlor soon seemed to fade from reality as the others
confronted Vangaard. (Fantastic Force I#13) – Devlor landed a day in the
future when the battle of Elsewhen was done and Psi-Lord's powers were
fixed with his other aspects gone. Huntara chose to remain behind as
the team returned to Earth. At their headquarters, the Fantastic Force
met Wyatt Wingfoot, who told them about a mind-controlled She-Hulk
being on a rampage. They confronted She-Hulk and during the fight,
Devlor found himself enjoying using his strength at maximum capacity
but they soon cleared She-Hulk's head. Assuming the Puppet Master was
responsible, the team confronted him with Alicia Masters but
discovered he was innocent. She-Hulk joined the Fantastic Force as the
real villain, Diablo, watched from afar. (Fantastic Force I#16) – The Fantastic Force rushed
Devlor in for medical treatment and the professionals, including Dr.
Sandor, were overwhelmed by the cellular impact of the Omnivirus. Sonia
Wu visited his bedside. Later, Devlor flatlined as tumors on his back
grew exponentially and he was pronounced dead. However, his small
human form soon emerged from the growth on his back and his teammates
were thrilled to see him alive, even as his mutated form lay seemingly
dead. (Fantastic Force I#17 (fb) – BTS) – Professor Sandor
theorized that Devlor's "change factor" in his genes sought to purge
the Omnivirus by entirely re-birthing Devlor without the infection.
Sandor warned that Devlor's genes were now corrupted and he might never
be able to achieve his beast-form again. (Fantastic Force I#17) – Devlor, wearing a Fantastic
Four uniform, struggled on his feet as he recovered from the virus.
She-Hulk invited Devlor, Psi-Lord and Vibraxas to stay with her.
Diablo attacked the team, defeating them with mental images of their
greatest fears. Devlor was the first to collapse, worried he would
never get control of his powers again. (Fantastic Force I#18 (fb) – BTS) – Diablo captured
the team, keeping them in crystals. (Fantastic Force I#18) – Devlor broke free from his
crystal after discovering he could grow even bigger and stronger than
before but Diablo sent She-Hulk against him. Diablo, with his
heightened sense of smell, detected Diablo in a cloud of smoke and
grabbed the villain then the Fantastic Force worked together,
defeating Diablo, who ended up stranded in Hell. (Fantastic Force I#416) – During a time when Psi-Lord
was missing, Black Panther, Devlor, Vibraxas and Huntara aided the
Fantastic Four by fighting Red Ghost and the Super-Apes. The
Fantastic Force then gathered with the Fantastic Four and many of their
other allies to face the threat of Onslaught. (New Avengers II#7) – Devlor interviewed with Jessica
Jones and Luke Cage to be the babysitter for their daughter, Danielle
Cage, but they turned him down. Comments: Created
by Tom DeFalco, Paul Ryan and Danny Bulanadi.
(Fantastic Force I#7) – With
the testimony
of Go-Devil and the Fantastic Force, Sgt. Enriquez declared the death a
case of self-defense by Vibraxas and let him go but Devlor found
himself wondering what Vibraxas was capable of if he could commit
murder. Back at their headquarters, Devlor initially attacked Lyja the
Lazerfist, thinking she was an intruder, but she soon revealed she came
to them for help after an image of the Invisible Woman had appeared to
her. Just then, the same image appeared before the team, telling them
to come to the moon to help her. Huntara traced the source of the image
to Latveria and opened a portal, and the team passed through with Lyja
and began battling Doombots then Nathaniel Richards revealed himself
as behind the plot. Devlor and the others stood back as Huntara battled
Richards but Psi-Lord stepped in when Huntara prepared to kill
Richards. Richards informed the others that the Fantastic Four were
confronting Aron the Rogue Watcher on the moon and that he had only
manipulated them to get their help. The team was sent to the moon,
joining Thing, Invisible Woman, Dr. Doom (Kristoff Vernard) and
Ant-Man (Scott Lang), and they learned that Uatu the Watcher had
disappeared in a portal. Devlor was hesitant to be near Attilan,
knowing that the Inhumans had believed him dead. After passing through
the portal, Devlor and the others heroes saw giant Watchers in a war
with the Celestials.
(Fantastic Force I#14) – In
Wakanda, Devlor, Wyatt
Wingfoot and the Fantastic Force sat by while Vibraxas was accused of
murder in a Wakandan Tribunal with N'Kano speaking against him. After
Devlor saw R'Shumba argue with Vibraxas, he went off to exercise,
realizing he was becoming more bestial now that his form was
stabilized and he felt like one of the Great Beasts of Inhuman legend.
After scaring the civilian M'Kazi, Devlor asked to be her friend.
