Хелспонт: Даймонит Лордының тарихы мен DC әлеміндегі жолы

Helspont is a character in Wildstorm's comics who was transplanted to the DC Universe. In addition to the WildC. A. T. s, he has also fought Team One, Gen13, Backlash, and when folded into the DC Universe, Superman.

A member of the alien race known as the Daemonites, Helspont was a military lord. He was, essentially, the general who would command Daemonite forces in the field. Helspont possessed a being from another alien race (before the Wildstorm Universe separated from the Image Universe, the being he possessed was an Acurian) at some unknown point in time (centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire, according to Spartan), becoming his usual form. Helspont was stationed on the Daemonite ship that crashed on Earth thousands of years ago. He, along with the two other highest ranked surviving Daemonites, took the title High Lord and became a leader to the other Daemonites. Helspont had many Daemonites serving under him, though another lord, Defile, formed his rival faction. Helspont and his servants also formed alliances with several humans over the years, using the name "The Cabal" to refer to their organization at least once before the mid 20th Century. During the Third Crusade, Helspont found an English crusader, Dakor of Cambria, who intended to commit suicide. Dakor had previously been found, severely injured, by the Kherubim warrior Zealot, then known as Constance, who attempted to train him in the ways of the Coda, the female warrior society to which she belonged. although how Helspont planned to achieve this has yet to be revealed. Helspont, his Daemonite foot soldiers and Smith and his gang formed a new Cabal. Much of the technology created by Pacificon was reverse engineered from Kherubim tech. and obtain control over the Planet Shaper, Taking the name Helspont, Artus' peoples' fear caused him to be imprisoned in the Eye, which would eventually become the headquarters of Stormwatch. Some 4,000 years later, when Harry Tanner set off an explosion that ripped the Eye apart, Helspont's prison cell crashed on Earth in the Himalayas. Helspont, now freed, established a new base, and confronted Superman, who destroyed his base. The villain returns and sends a full scale assault against Superman and other alien heroes such as Starfire and Hawkman, trying to recruit them, during which he admits that never intended destroy earth or to see Superman dead. In fact, by protecting people, he protects the human genes from the corruption that destroyed his race. Helspont believes Superman may need to be "tamed" by surviving Daemonites. Before disappearing, Helspont mentioned Jor El, leaving Superman to contemplate the high risk of a future invasion from Helspont.

In the 2017 reboot of the Wildstorm Universe, "Ragnar Helspont" is named as the chief scientist of the Thunderbook program (the reboot's analogue to Gen12 ) responsible for implanting human subjects with Kheran DNA.

Helspont's host body has shown superhuman strength and durability, comparable to Mister Majestic. Furthermore, his Acurian host gives him vast psionic powers including telekinesis and mental attacks as well as energy blasts. Helspont can change his shape, appearing like a normal human, but this may be a telepathic illusion rather than a physical power. Like all Daemonites, he can possess host bodies at will, though doing so would mean he has to give up his powerful Acurian host body. He can presumably take the shape of his true Daemonite form, however, he always appears in his Acurian form. As a Daemonite, Helspont has access to highly advanced technology. As the High Lord of all Daemonites on Earth, he can command dozens of Daemonites to do his bidding. Some Daemonites don't obey him though, like Lord Defile and Hightower. Furthermore, many Daemonites deserted after hearing about the end of the war.

Helspont appears in the animated series Wild C. A. T. s, voiced by Maurice Dean Wint. A Helspont figure from Playmates Toys was released in 1994.
