Fictional character biography
[edit]Nebula Man first appears in Justice League of America #100, where he is described as a cosmic being who was created by a villain known as the Hand to defeat the original Seven Soldiers of Victory. Nebula Man battled the Soldiers in Tibet and scattered them throughout time, a fate from which they were later saved by the Justice League and Justice Society. He is defeated when Wing sacrifices himself to attack him with a cosmic device.[1]
During the JLA storyline "Rock of Ages", Metron sends the Flash, Aquaman, and Green Lantern through time and space, with the three landing on Wonderworld. As the three tour Wonderworld, a few peculiar items are mentioned. Among them is a growing larval universe called Qwewq.[2]
In the Seven Soldiers series, Neh-Buh-Loh is revealed to be the grown form of Qwewq and an ally of the Sheeda, a humanoid species from one billion years in the future. He serves as the personal huntsman of the Sheeda queen Gloriana Tenebrae.[3] Neh-Buh-Loh battles the Seven Soldiers before being killed by Frankenstein.[4]
Other versions
[edit]In All-Star Superman #10, Superman uses the infant universe of Qwewq to create an Earth without a Superman that he dubs Earth Q.[5]
