OVERVIEW

An artifact connected to the evil Egyptian god Set.

HISTORY

The Mask of Set is a golden jackal mask that gives its wearer the ability to tap into the divine power of the evil Egyptian god Set. Fleeing from the Israeli Secret Service, Lord Arsenic of the cult Fiatlux sprinkled the substance Luciferase on the helmet and donned it. Striking back at his assailants, Lord Arsenic found himself unable to resist the power of Set and was soon possessed by Set himself. The power of Set changed Lord Arsenic physically, making him one with the mask, turning his body green and black and giving him canine traits. Set was finally stopped by the original Justice League of America, who were able to turn Set’s own power against him and restore Lord Arsenic to normal.
