Origin

edit

Clyde Wyncham is the only mutant of Earth-1219, a reality similar to the real world.[2][3] After he accidentally resurrects his dead father, his mother hits him with a candlestick, leaving him with brain damage.[4] Subsequently, Reed Richards has Clyde placed in a holding cell in Area 87 and creates a cybernetic helmet to placate him.[5][6][7]

Powers and abilities

edit

Clyde is capable of reality manipulation on a massive scale. He is immortal and can open portals to other dimensions/realities, time travel, resurrect the dead, manipulate matter, shapeshift, teleport, generate massive amounts of energy, project telepathic illusions, and mind control high-level cosmic entities. He is also highly durable as it took Planck temperature to defeat him after he was severely weakened from fighting.

Alternate versions

edit

The Marquis of Death is a future incarnation of Clyde Wyncham from Earth-807128, where he escapes Area 87 and has his mind restored. Subsequently, he becomes a mentor to Doctor Doom of Earth-616.
