Shuma-Horat

Shuma-Horat was first mentioned in Robert Irwin Howard ’s short story “The Curse of the Golden Skull” in The Howard Collector # 9 (Spring, 1967), which featured the character Kull . A dying magician named Rotat turned to the "iron books of Shum-Gorat" in search of a curse against humanity.

As a Marvel character, his first appearance was in Marvel Premiere # 5 (November, 1972), where he was created by Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner.

During the pre-history of the Earth, Shuma-Gorat ruled the world and demanded human sacrifices until he was finally expelled by the sorcerer sorcerer Sise-Neg. ^[1] The entity ultimately returns during the Hyborian Age , but is imprisoned uphill by the power of the god Crom. ^[2] Shuma-Horat continues to influence the Earth until Crom returns him to his home dimension. ^[3]

When a subject tries to return to Earth through the mind of the Ancients , his student Doctor Strange is forced to kill him to prevent this. ^[4] Years later, Strange fights with Noise-Gorat in his home dimension, and although he defeats him, he is gradually becoming a new version of the Essence. Strange commits suicide in order to prevent this transformation and the ally resurrects. ^[5] The wizard Nicholas Scratch calls the Essence to Earth, but is pushed back by the combined efforts of Doctor Strange, the Fantastic Four , the Salem Family and the villain Diablo. ^[6]

Ultimately, Shuma-Horat is one of four immortal super-dimensional "polygonal" guiding a metaphysical invasion from a dimension called "Kenserveres." In attempting to destroy Death, the Essence and its allies become inert conceptual forms of Death and subsequently fall into error when they are destroyed. ^[7] Shuma-Horat subsequently survives and again tries to invade Earth, but is repelled by a team of superheroes Avengers with Longinus Spear . ^[eight]

During the 2011 Fear Itself storyline , Shuma-Gorat is among the demons to meet with Devil's Advocate to discuss the snake's threat and what it means to them. ^[9]

During the 2013 Infinity story, Thanos's servant Ebony Mow manipulates Dr. Strange to summon Noise-Gorat to the streets of New York. The creature is met by Luke Cage and his new Avengers team . ^[10] Blue Marvel arrives at the scene of the battle and flies over the head of Shum-Gorat, destroying his physical body. The astral body of Noise-Horat takes possession of a crowd of people in New York and is trying to recreate itself on Earth. He is weakened by the mystical attacks of the Strong Man and the White Tigress, and finally he was expelled by Monica Rambo, who penetrates the eyes of Noise-Horat like a ray of light and scatters the essence from the inside. ^[eleven]

When Doctor Strange applied powerful magic to restore the whole of Las Vegas , a gap opened in the magical space through which the rulers of various Underworlds - Mephisto , Dormammu , Shuma-Gorat and Nightmare - went to the Necro Dimension, where they fought to decide which of they will seize the opportunity to attack the Earth. ^[12] Mephisto prevailed and locked other masters in the Necro Dimension. Shuma-Horat later fought with Strange and several other Avengers, who were temporarily locked in the Necro Dimension. ^[13]

Shuma-Horat is an ancient power of chaos, an immortal, almost invincible and god-like ruler of hundreds of alternative universes, possessing such abilities as: creating energy projections, deformation, teleportation, levitation, changing reality and sympathetic magic among many other forces. He is described as much more powerful than other demonic creatures, such as Satanish and Mephisto , and is able to instantly destroy several galaxies ^[14] .
