Desak Sterixian, more commonly known as Desak the God Slayer, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Dan Jurgens and Tom Grummett and first appears in Thor Annual 2001. The character has been succeeded in his role as a killer of gods by the character Gorr the God Butcher, a more brutal character with a similar mission to kill gods, though the two are unrelated beyond this.

Fictional character history

[edit]

Desak comes from an unnamed planet whose inhabitants worship the god Kronnitt. After his daughter is sacrificed to Kronnitt, Desak obtains a magical gem from a mysterious apparition and works with it to kill Kronnitt and several other gods.[1] In his quest, he obtains the Destroyer armor and battles Thor, who eventually decapitates and kills him.[2][3][4]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

Desak possessed superhuman strength, endurance, and durable stone-like skin. Desak had the ability to fly, teleport, shoot energy beams from his eyes, and survive indefinitely in the void of space. Using his amulet, he can absorb the life force and power of others.
