The Weird is an alien hero composed entirely of pure energy. He belongs to a race known as the Zarolatts who were oppressed for a very long time by the Macrolatts. Unlike the rest of his docile race he decided to fight back by contacting superheroes on Earth. His physical form was created by possessing the corpse of a man named Walter Langley, giving him both Langley's appearance and memories. The Weird was created by Jim Starlin and Bernie Wrightson, first appearing in The Weird #1. (1988)
