## Fictional character history

[edit]

Desak comes from an unnamed planet whose inhabitants worship the god Kronnitt. After his daughter is sacrificed to Kronnitt, Desak obtains a magical gem from a mysterious apparition and works with it to kill Kronnitt and several other gods.[1] In his quest, he obtains the Destroyer armor and battles Thor, who eventually decapitates and kills him.[2][3][4]

## Powers and abilities

[edit]

Desak possessed superhuman strength, endurance, and durable stone-like skin. Desak had the ability to fly, teleport, shoot energy beams from his eyes, and survive indefinitely in the void of space. Using his amulet, he can absorb the life force and power of others.
