Biography
The One Below All was a dark cosmic counterpart to the One-Above-All. (Immortal Hulk v1 #12)
Long ago, a green meteor came to crash in the region of Jordan with this occurring before 9,500 BCE where it came to be worshipped by primitive humans as the Good Green Eye that was believed to be a gift from their patron goddess. In that time long ago, the village elder believed that their home had become barren due to a lack of sacrifice and came to throw a young man named Tammuz into the pit to die. This act caused the Green Door to first open making Tammuz encounter the One Below All who transformed him into a gamma mutate. The now green-skinned giant then returned to his village only for its people to turn on him and seemingly kill him. They then consumed his flesh as they believed it to be a bounty but then the powers conferred on him allowed his body resurrect with this killing the people that had eaten him. He then briefly considered sharing his knowledge with the villagers but the influence of the One Below All caused him to kill them all instead. (Immortal Hulk: Time of Monsters v1 #1)
Years ago, a researcher by the name of Brian Banner came to research the nature of Gamma Radiation. Working late into the night, he fell into exhaustion from his research where he began to experience strange dreams. These were glimpses of the Green Door that was the way to the One Below All.

Overview
Personality and attributes
It was regarded as creation's secret reflection who was vaster than could be perceived or understood. (Immortal Hulk v1 #12)
Powers and abilities
It could only influence the mortal world and in order to intervene directly it needed a host personality or soul. Through them it was able to interact with the physical plane. (Immortal Hulk v1 #12)
The entity was heavily tied to the nature of Gamma Radiation that heaved unpredictably. It did not act as a wave of particle but rather in a previously unknown third form. (Immortal Hulk v1 #12)
It could spawn beings called Qlippoth that could take the appearance of other individuals from loved ones to enemies. They were used to torment those within its realm where they could regurgitate horde of demonic monsters. (Immortal Hulk v1 #11)
The One Below All resided within the Below-Place that was said to be a hell beneath all the others. (Immortal Hulk v1 #11) Access to this realm could be achieved through the Green Door that required intense levels of gamma radiation to open. (Immortal Hulk v1 #10)
Notes
- The One Below All was created by Al Ewing and Joe Bennett where he made his first appearance in Immortal Hulk v1 #5 (November, 2018).
- On CBR, writer Al Ewing commented in an interview that, "Every light casts a shadow, as Brian said. In every mirror, there is a reflection. I'd say you're definitely on the right track. The One Above All, for those who don't know, is the closest thing in the MU to capital-G God. It's almost never seen on the page, and barely ever referred to, but whatever it is, it started things in motion. So the idea that such a being could have an opposite number, or a dark side, is hopefully fairly terrifying."
