BOGEYMAN

 

BOGEYMAN

Real Name: Douglas M. Carmody

First Appearance: Power Pack (Vol. 1) #2, September 1984

Powers: Douglas Carmody was a mutant-hating businessman who initially utilized a surplus battlesuit which was later replaced with a more powerful battlesuit from the anti-mutant organization known as the Right. His battlesuits had flight capabilities, and he carried a tranquilizer dart gun and "power-canceling envelopes" to hold captives. He also employed robotic cartoon animals as guards in his base.

He was later transported to the demon-filled Limbo where the demon N'astirh devoured Carmody's humanity, transforming him into a glutinous demon. When his physical form was destroyed, he survived as a shadow. In shadow form, the Bogeyman could possess people and generate shadowy tendrils. He was vulnerable to flame and was glutinous as a demon, able to flow like liquid through small spaces, or grow and distend at will. He was superhumanly strong and could form lethal claws.
