Fictional character biography

[edit]

Infinity-Man is initially Astorr, a powerful alien warrior who gives his title to Drax, Darkseid's brother.[3] Drax goes on to serve Highfather on New Genesis, where he encounters the Forever People. The Forever People can summon Drax using their Mother Boxes, with them entering limbo while he is active.

In Countdown to Final Crisis and Death of the New Gods, Infinity-Man kills most of the New Gods before being killed by Mister Miracle.

In The New 52 continuity reboot, Infinity-Man is depicted as the embodiment of Highfather's conscience.[4][5]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

Infinity-Man has seemingly limitless strength and endurance, invulnerability, flight, ability to "phase" through matter, vast energy and matter manipulation, magnetic powers, and Infinity-Beams. Other powers include a form of advanced healing and telepathy.
