N'Dama, the Weather Demon

N'Dama, the Weather Demon, also known as Kurt Walker, was a male character who featured in Defenders of the Earth.

Background

Personality and attributes

N'Dama, Demon of Weather was also known by his true human name which was Kurt Walker and a descendant of the Phantom bloodline. His features as a human were that of a bearded scruffy middle aged man but once transformed into his Weather Demon persona, he wore black clothing and a cloak with a horned animal skull on the top of his head. He wore a mask that covered his eyes which glowed red but left his mouth open.

In Kurt's mind, he should have been destined to become the Phantom and was bitterly disappointed when his father chose Kit over him. His deep resentment of his brother developed into hatred as he sought to attain what he was denied or destroy it. Kurt Walker even stated that he had only a single desire and wish which was to destroy the Phantom. Ming the Merciless noted this in him and believed it to be a powerful motive as well as being the reason why he choose him as his agent.

Upon his return to his homeland in Africa, he demanded as the Spirit Demon of the Wind that he be declared the ruler of the people who were to serve him. He was a cruel tyrant that used his power to dominate the innocent stating that with a single wave of his hand, he could devastate the village of Goran's people. He wished for them to become his subjects or face utter destruction at his hands. Kurt was not above using trickery and his abilities to give him an advantage in a contest without powers as demonstrated when he used his lightning powers to scare some elephants into the path of his younger brother.

Due to his former kinship with his brother, he knew certain aspects of his personality. Thus, he knew that by terrorising the Phantom's village in Africa that Kit Walker and his daguther would come giving him the opportunity to get his revenge.

Powers and abilities

As Kurt Walker, he possessed no power above that of a normal human being.

N'Dama's power came not from natural abilities but through alien magic which was given to him by the tyrant of Mongo; Ming the Merciless who bade him to enter into a floating closet-like chamber. After being augmented by Ming, the older Walker brother had the power to control the weather itself though this was only in a 24 hour period. This allowed him to generate powerful bolts of lightning from his hands which can be used to attack enemies or scare wildlife. He also had the ability to control the wind allowing him to fly across his environment. His control over the weather was so powerful allowing him to cause devastating weather changes over a land creating devastating winds and icy snow storms.

He seemingly had the power to teleport away with a flash of lightning.
