Gog was one of the Old Gods who survived from the cataclysm that created New Genesis and Apokolips. He plunged through the Bleed and traveled through the Multiverse, until he landed on Earth, where he was entombed in a cave and worshiped by a tribe of humans as a "God of Earth." The tribe made a staff that channeled Gog's power through it, and was put to rest in the same cave he was in.

For years, Gog was lost to the rest of the world, until a explorer named William Matthews found the cave and picked up the staff. Matthews was given a immense power through it and became the second Magog, an enemy of the Justice Society of America. His Earth-22 counterpart first appeared in the Kingdom Come Elseworlds series, as a superhuman cult leader, first worshipping Superman but later despising him. As his name is from the Bible, he is tied to Magog.

Gog was created by Mark Waid and Jerry Ordway, first appearing in New Year's Evil: Gog #1 (1998).
