Biography

Origin

Eclipso

In response, the Justice Society sought to confront Black Adam in Kahndaq with their response being to attack the heroes. Alex Montez used the power of Eclipso in the battle but failed to notice a cut on his skin that severed one of the binding glyphs on his body. This allowed the demon to assert more control over Montez and in mad state he killed Soseh Mykros. It was only then that he realised that Eclipso was taking control over his body and in desperation Alex decided to throw himself off the building in an effort to kill himself. This was done to prevent Eclipso from taking over with the demon laughing madly as his former host was now deceased. (JSA v1 #58)
