Biography
Jock Kellog was a male human who grew up to be a bored young playboy when he unexpectedly learned from his dying British uncle that he was the heir to the powers of Merlin the magician. Donning Merlin's hooded cloak, which gave him all his ancestor's powers, Kellogg became the new Merlin and opposed every sort of evil-doer, from orphanage embezzlers to the Nazis to Mars, the Roman God of War himself. (National Comics v1 #1) His fight with the Roman God of War, Mars, would not be the last time he ventured to realms beyond the physical. When Singh Abeem invoked an ancient Hindi magic, the spirit of his deceased son, Prince Abeem, took revenge on his murderer's family, including Sybil Elliot, Merlin's ex-girlfriend. Merlin ventured to the Land of the Dead to rescue her from Prince Abeem and his council of ancestors. (National Comics v1 #2)
Mars would also not be the only God of War he fought. Merlin also faced off against the Norse god Wotan, but managed to defeat him as well in a sword fight. (National Comics v1 #11)
