Staying with menaces who have haunted their worlds for centuries, Homunculus personifies hatred against mankind.

An artificially created being using a piece of a human’s soul as the raw material, Homunclus starts out as little more than a floating nuisance. Trapped in a bottle, his only desire was to be free of his presence and get a taste of freedom. The only person who understood him was the man from whom he was created, a young slave he went on to name Van Hohenheim.

Empathizing with his situation, Hohenheim took pity on the weak being. However this was the beginning of a long game that would take more lives than anyone bothered counting. Homunuclus was created as a means for the King of the land to obtain immortality. Desperate to cling on to his life, the King did exactly as instructed. This turned out to be a catastrophe as Homunclus used a powerful alchemical technique to steal the souls of every person in the kingdom.

He used their energy to create a new body for himself, identical to Hohenheim. He also spared a fair few for his friend; granting Hoheinheim immortality, along with the unbearable weight of knowing his power is drained from the living souls of millions.

Homunclus would then go on to create a whole new country, start countless wars, and create a master plan for stealing an even greater number of souls so as to attain omnipotence. Now that is pure evil.

After battling Galactus and pinning Hulk Hogan in the main event of Wrestlemania, I've taken a break from living in fantasy worlds, to focus on writing about them. I'm a comic book geek, a wrestling mark, a break dancer, and a scientist. One of those things may not be true.
