Ahk-Ton

It was said that he had fashioned the Orb of Ra from a meteor that fell to Earth with him placing it in a sceptre that he presented to the Pharaoh. (The Brave and the Bold v1 #57) Another account held that Ahk-Ton was actually the Pharaoh who was presented the Orb by his alchemist under the belief that the ruler would share it with the kingdom. Upon exposure to its power, Ahk-Ton was transformed into what was believed to be the first of the Metamorphae where he came to rule the lands with an iron fist. This was until his transformation was reversed and he was seemingly killed with him being buried with the sceptre. (Metamorpho v2 #1)
