As he wandered the lands, he stumbled upon a strange pyramid and entered where he was transformed into one of the Metamorphae. He allied himself with Queen Jezeba of Ma-Phoor, who became his lover, and he guarded Ma-Phoor from invading armies. Algon betrayed Jezeba, so she used the Orb of Ra to exile him, stripping him of his powers and making him a lifeless hulk, and closed up Ma-Phoor from the outside world. 2,000 years later Jezeba discovered the metamorph superhero Metamorpho and believed him to be Algon. She brought him to Ma-Phoor and wedded him. She led her armies into the outside world, bent on ruling the world alongside her 'Algon', but Metamorpho betrayed her, killing the Ma-Phoor army.
