HistoryEdit

Originally a native of Earth-Twelve, before the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Merryman was heir to a lineage of heroism. However, all he wanted to be was a cartoonist. When disaster threatened his new home and his aging parents were forced to become heroes once again, he became Merryman in the hopes of saving them.

With the children of his parents' teammates, he formed the Inferior Five which helped keep Earth-Twelve safe.

After the Crisis on Infinte Earths, elements of the Inferior Five's adventures were incorporated into the new, unified reality.

However, in the wake of the Infinite Crisis, Merryman's adventures were removed from reality. Now existing as a concept, he was banished to Limbo. He believes that he was "forgotten". When the universe of Earth-51 was removed from realspace and sent to Limbo, he, along with many other inhabitants of Limbo, made their home their. Since titles were useless in Limbo, he called himself the King of Limbo and put himself in charge. As a resident of Limbo, his memory began to slowly seep away.

All of this lasted until the Final Crisis, when a shiftship containing Superman crashed on Earth-51 with a few allies. Merryman tried to advise them on their new status, but they were adamant on their plan to escape. He tried to talk his way onto their ship, claiming he had "a talent for gritty drama no-one ever thought to exploit", but he was stuck on Limbo with the rest of the forgotten. Soon, Mandrakk the Dark Monitor's Echo of Midnight unexpectedly came to Limbo and brought along his forces of shadow demons to consume Limbo. Merryman and the denizens of Limbo valiantly battled the alien forces. Before their battle, Merryman ask Superman to promise to remember him and the others that even though no one else does, in which the Man of Steel promises.
