When Jesus died on the cross, the Divine Wrath was released from his exile and sought vengeance on mankind for the death of Christ. At that instant, the Divine Wrath was cast into Limbo, for God's vengeance and forgiveness could not walk the same plane together. For centuries the Wrath of God punished and humbled mankind, until the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. The Divine Wrath was the blast that brought down the walls of Jericho and stopped the sun in its tracks. It was the Primal-Spectre, the Spectre Force, that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, that humbled the Pharaoh and killed the first-born of Egypt. The Primal-Spectre stripped Eclipso of his rank and privileges and tore him asunder, with Eclipso's power imprisoned in the black diamond known as the Heart of Darkness. When Eclipso fell to evil, it was the Primal-Spectre's duty to deliver punishment. For that, Cain sought revenge on the Spectre, and through him, on the Presence. This Primal-Spectre was the one who punished Cain for the murder of his brother Abel, laying a mark upon Cain lest any should kill him. Perhaps Aztar's wish was heard millennia later, Jim Corrigan, the Spectre's then-host, saw a vision of Aztar's transformation, buried deep in the Spectre's core. The Wrath of God entered into Aztar, burning away everything he had been, transfiguring the remnants of his form into the Spectre Force. Aztar accepted with regret, hoping that some fragment of what he once was would be allowed to remain. Aztar's memory and consciousness would be wiped from existence. The Presence's judgment on Aztar was that he would become a vessel for an aspect of the Divine - the Divine Wrath. He prostrated himself before Michael, acknowledging his wrong-doing and his responsibility for what he had done, offering himself up to whatever punishment the Presence chose to impose. Aztar came before the gates of Heaven, where he was met by the archangel Michael. In time, one of the demons, a creature called Aztar, came to repent his rebellion, seeking forgiveness from the Presence legend in Hell has it that he was a prince among the damned. As punishment, they were cast down into Hell, where they became the beings that mortal men knew as demons. A rebel band of angels led by Lucifer Morningstar attempted to wrest control of Heaven from the Presence. Three seconds after creation, there was a rebellion in Paradise. Among them were His Wrath, called Eclipso, His Mercy, called the Radiant, and His Vengeance, called the Spectre. At His direction, certain of these aspects were charged with certain functions and duties. Such was the Presence's nature that His aspects had names and identities of their own. In the beginning, there was the Presence, the One Above All.
