Synopsis for Eclipso: "The Genius Who Fought Himself"
Bruce Gordon was on Diablo Island in the South Pacific to photograph an eclipse. The natives, fearing that he would steal their "sun god" sent their witch doctor, Mophir to stop him. Armed with the tribe's sacred black stone, Mophir attacked and cut Bruce with the gem, but fell off a cliff. Bruce picked up the gem just in time for the eclipse to take place and became Eclipso. In this form, Eclipso begun a havok in the Solar City designed by Gordon.
