History

When the Old Gods of the Third World were fighting uncontrollably, the lone god Gog fled the world before it was fully destroyed in the fighting. He landed in the area currently known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and was entombed in molten rock. He was found by a tribe of humans, who worshipped the god's face (the only visible part of his body), believing he was 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 the face was in. The cave, and therefore Gog, was lost to the rest of the world, until a young explorer, William Matthews found the cave on accident. He picked up the staff, and was given immense amounts of power through it; a side effect, though, was visions of the history of Earth-22 which drove him mad. After Matthews committed various acts of deicide, he engaged the Justice Society after the Society sent Sand to track him down. Eventually, Matthews teleported back to the temple in the Congo,, inadvertantly bringing several members of the JSA with him, too. After a brief confrontation, Gog seems to disentegrate, and the Third World god rises, seemingly rejuvinated by the reclamation of the energies that were being used by the staff. After a brief talk with Amazing Man, Gog then goes to a nearby village of sickly inhabitents. After curing them, Gog tells the JSA his story, and subsequently heals Damage's facial scarring.
