General Immortus is perhaps centuries old, and his origins are shrouded in mystery.[2] At some points, it has even been implied that Immortus' origins lie in ancient history, having claimed on at least one occasion to have been alive at "the Dawn of Man". He once owned a diamond mine, the source of much of his current-day wealth.[3]
Immortus previously derived his immortality from a special potion. After losing the formula needed to produce the potion, Immortus establishes a syndicate to procure artifacts and sustain his life.
In Salvation Run, Immortus is killed by Parademons. However, he resurfaces in Final Crisis.[4] [5] [6]
In the Dawn of DC series Unstoppable Doom Patrol, Immortus fuses with the Candlemaker and becomes the Eternal Flame before Quiz transports him to the Bleed, the space between realities.[7]
General Immortus is a cunning criminal mastermind and has lived for centuries as a result of his life-extending potion. As the Eternal Flame, he can generate fire.
