'''Aurakles''' is a [[fictional character]], a [[superhero]] published by [[DC Comics]]. He first appeared in ''[[Justice League|Justice League of America]]'' vol. 1 #100 (August 1972), and was created by [[Len Wein]] and [[Dick Dillin]]. |
|||
==Publication history== |
|||
Aurakles was created by [[Len Wein]] and [[Dick Dillin]] in ''[[Justice League|Justice League of America]]'' #100 using the name '''Oracle'''. [[Grant Morrison]] brought the character back in [[Mister Miracle (Shilo Norman)|Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle]] #4 (May 2006), and expanded his backstory by making him "the original super-hero" and renaming him '''Aurakles'''. |
|||
==Fictional character biography== |
|||
The super-being known as Aurakles was created on the planet Earth by the [[New Gods]] around [[5th millennium BC|40,000 BC]] and is generally considered "the original superhero", by those who know his reputation. He has the mission to "bring order and meaning where incoherence reigns". Opposing the evils of his time, he battles the [[Sheeda]] and Neh-Buh-Loh, the [[Nebula Man]]. However, the evil Sheeda finally succeed in imprisoning Aurakles in their "bone prisons", set up in the ancient past. |
|||
===Justice League of America=== |
|||
Aurakles reappears in our times as the Oracle. When the [[Justice League|Justice League of America]] and the [[Justice Society of America]] works together to bring back the time-lost [[Seven Soldiers of Victory]] (themselves victims of the Nebula Man), they invoke the Oracle (in spiritual form) as their guidance. However, it takes the combined magic of [[Dr. Fate]] (Kent Nelson), [[Zatanna]] and [[Johnny Thunder|Yz the Thunderbolt]] to summon him. Furthermore, Oracle refuses to give the heroes the answer they seek directly, instead, he helps them solve the matter for themselves. He tells them they have been scattered through time and sends the heroes to the times where the Soldiers are. |
|||
===Seven Soldiers=== |
|||
After that, Aurakles is not seen for quite some time, but is freed from imprisonment by [[Shilo Norman|Mister Miracle (Shilo Norman)]] when the latter opposes [[Darkseid]], Neh-Buh-Loh and the Sheeda as part of the new Seven Soldiers. Aurakles' golden tomb on Mars is also seen in [[Grant Morrison]]'s version of [[Frankenstein]].<ref>As seen in Seven Soldiers #1 (December 2006)</ref> |
|||
The rookie heroine [[Bulleteer]] is Aurakles' descendant and "the spear that was never thrown", one of seven imperishable treasures used to combat the Sheeda. |
|||
==Other versions== |
|||
*The superheroine known as [[Halo (comics)|Halo]] is actually an [[extraterrestial lifeform]] known as an '''Aurakle''' animating the dead body of Gabrielle Doe. |
