HISTORY

The Prince of Lies. Returned from oblivion a few years ago. He climbed the demonic ranks and soon established himself as the greatest power of Hell and its number one trader in souls. Neron has involved himself a lot with the super-human community, among other activities having boosted the power of numerous super-villains in exchange for their souls. Neron despises the Trickster, the Flash, and Captain Marvel in particular, all of whom have humiliated Neron in the past. During the event known as "the Day of Judgment", Neron was imprisoned by the unholy alliance of Etrigan, Asmodel and the Spectre-Force. Breaking free from his imprisonment by possessing Superman's body, Neron then attempted to claim the Spectre-Force for himself, but the Spectre instead chose Hal Jordan as its new human host. Neron was sent back to Hell, and since he had broken Hell's rules by using its power for his own pleasure, he was demoted from a Prince to a Rhymer by his fellow demons. Furiously, Neron realized that this had been Etrigan's plan all along.
