Fictional character biography
Arisen Tyrk was the tyrannical god-king of the dimension called Other Realm. He sought the power of the Godstone, which was bonded to John Jameson as the Man-Wolf. Tyrk hired Kraven the Hunter to attack Man-Wolf, but Man-Wolf fought Kraven off. Rebels from Other Realm brought the Man-Wolf to their land and he deposed Tyrk.[volume & issue needed]
Tyrk tried to escape though an extra-dimensional portal, but the portal was damaged and fragmented Tyrk into a number of forms in a number of realms. Four of Tyrk's fragments went to Earth, becoming the crazed Lunatik. These four duplicates of Tyrk plagued the Defenders until they were able to re-merge Lunatik into a more-or-less-whole Tyrk. He fought the Defenders in this form, but they were eventually able to defeat him.[volume & issue needed]
For a time he posed as drama professor Harrison Turk at Empire State University.[1]
