Description

I'll admit that I don't really know much about Bloodwynd. I thought he was just a disguise for the Martian Manhunter, who is one of my favorite characters. And it was by Dan Jurgens, another of my favorites. So when I had the opportunity, I grabbed this. Now that I'm researching the character, it is still muddy.

The following was taken from the Wikipedia:
Bloodwynd is the descendant of a group of African-American slaves owned by a brutal, sadistic planter named Jacob Whitney. These slaves performed an ancient ritual to create a mystical Blood Gem, with which they killed Whitney. The Blood Gem was passed down among the slaves' descendants. The Gem bestowed great physical powers on its wearer; unbeknownst to them, it also contained a microscopic world, where Jacob Whitney's spirit had become incarnate as the demon Rott. Over the years Rott grew ever stronger, as the Gem absorbed the dark side of each wearer's soul.

In recent times, Rott sucked Bloodwynd into the Gem and held him captive, whilst mind controlling the Martian Manhunter, compelling him to wear the Gem and impersonate Bloodwynd. Using Bloodwynd's identity, the Manhunter rejoined the Justice League, seeking a power source which would enable Rott to escape from his micro-world. While the JLA fought Doomsday alongside Superman, Blue Beetle realized Bloodwynd's identity when his cryptic teammate was incapacitated by fire (to which the Martian Manhunter was especially vulnerable). Once the truth was exposed, the Justice League battled Rott and freed the real Bloodwynd.

I'm a great fan of the Cosmic Cards set, as well as of Dan Jurgens's artwork ! I've been a fan of Bloodwynd from his debut 'till the big (and awesome) twist reveal... great score, my friend !
