I think they used it to kill their cruel master, but he wound up being absorbed into the Gem and was a subtle evil influence on it. <br />The Gem was passed down over time and eventually wound up in Bloodwynd's hands. It granted him powerful magic abilities.<br />At some point Bloodwynd and the Martian Manhunter came into contact (I think J'onn was drawn to the "voices" of the Gem). The Gem absorbed Bloodwynd into it and brainwashed J'onn into believing he was Bloodwynd.<br />Blue Beetle eventually found out the truth about Bloodwynd, and I believe he, Booster Gold, and J'onn traveled into the Gem to free the real BloodwyndWill K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672912018624878918.post-47231772706480852392009-06-06T08:45:27.332-04:002009-06-06T08:45:27.332-04:00Anybody know what the actual origin of Bloodwynd i...Anybody know what the actual origin of Bloodwynd is/was? I heard he turned out to be the Martian Manhunter....? Anybody know the story of him? Is he an actual character, or what? He certainly did look pretty cool.Russellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672912018624878918.post-14512810352266349602009-06-06T02:59:20.374-04:002009-06-06T02:59:20.374-04:00I believe I bought issue "0" of this.

Knives are so much more sporting than guns. I think I didn't want this character to replace the good Dr., but to be an adjunct to him (her?). Wouldn't that be something? To have had a "Fate Family"? I really liked Len Kaminski's work on The Creeper, and he was probably good on this.<br />Sentinel and Bloodwynd et al, sure do look super cool on the cover.Bribabynoreply@blogger.com
