Biography

Devos was a male extraterrestrial being from a world in the universe. As a child, Devos' homeworld was assaulted by raiders, and he was orphaned. He grew up alone in the ruins for years, until he was found by soldiers who recruited him for the army. He quickly became one of the best warriors, and was chosen by Symka for the Great Experiment, which resulted in him becoming the ultimate weapon of destruction. However, Devos determined that he would use this power to bring about galactic peace by destroying any race capable of making war. (Fantastic Four v1 #377) Over the years that followed, Devos slew many lifeforms, and his trophy case included the heads of a Titan, a Skrull, an Elan, and a Kree Sentry. He also contained the creature known as Dreadface, but was unable to devise a means of destroying it. Devos later came across a vessel containing the Fantastic Four, and their ally Alicia Masters. Reasoning that any speices capable of space travel would have a capacity for conflict, Devos has his vessel bring them aboard with a tractor beam. He then tested their reactions by turning his ship's defenses and the various creatures in his zoo against them. Having determined that humanity was a violent race, Devos confronted the Fantastic Four himself, and held his own in battle with all four of them, but depleted much of his armor's energy attempting to shock the Thing with electricity. He attempted to recharge his armor, but Mr. Fantastic knocked him back into the energy grid, and the resulting damage caused the ship to begin its self-destruct countdown. Abandoning the Fantastic Four, Devos fled to his escape craft, assuming they would be destroyed by the destruct sequence. (Fantastic Four v1 #359)

Afterwards, Devos was among the many enemies of the Fantastic Four who were brought from other points in time to confront members of the Fantastic Four and Fantastic Force. Devos did not recognize some of the players on the field, but engaged them in battle, only to be removed from the conflict by Huntara, who opened up one of her portals in his path. (Fantastic Four v1 #400) Devos' craft was found by a Skrull vessel commanded by Paibok. Although Devos at first intended to slay Paibok and steal his vessel, he was surprised to learn they had a common enemy namely the Fantastic Four. The two men forged an alliance together, and Paibok showed him the unconscious body of Lyja, wife of the Human Torch. (Fantastic Four v1 #366)

At some point, he came to the world of Godthab Omega as one among many that were drawn to the planet. Once there, he encountered the Skrull warrior Talos the Untamed and battled him for his race's war crimes. Ultimately, Devos managed to gain the power hand allowing him to defeat Talos who were rendered unconscious. (Annihilation: Ronan v1 #2) However, both Devos and Talos were then captured by Glorian who imprisoned them whilst he was using his powers to remake the world into a paradise. (Annihilation: Ronan v1 #3) It was then that elements of the Annihilation Wave arrived on the world where they attack and their large numbers forced Glorian to divert his attention to them. This act broke the restraints he made over Devos and Talos where he aided Ronan the Accuser against their common enemy they faced in the forces from the Negative Zone. He was then ordered by Ronan to escape the world on a ship from the spaceport with Devos managing to survive the ravaging of the planet. (Annihilation: Ronan v1 #4)
