[edit] Fictional character biography
Kyle Brock was a policeman working in New York City, who had been hospitalized when he was shot by criminals. The death god Seth brought Kyle Brock, Winston Manchester, and Pamela Shaw to his own "dimension of death," healed them, and gave them superhuman powers. Seth employed these three humans, now known as Earth Force, as pawns for vengeance. Seth tricked Earth Force into thinking that Hogun was a menace, and they fought Thor and Hogun, until Thor exposed Seth's evil nature to them. They reconciled with Thor and Hogun, and were transported back to Seth's dimension. They fought Seth's warriors and were captured by Seth's forces. They were freed by Hogun, and continued to battled Seth's forces.[1] Earth Force then confronted Seth, and were mortally injured by him. They were restored to life and returned to Earth by the gods of Heliopolis.[2]
As part of Earth Force, he fought the Bloody Claws.[3] Later, he was prevented by Wind Warrior from endangering a baby by attacking Silver Sable.[4]
Earth Lord and the Earth Force have been identified as a superhero registered with The Initiative, and stationed in Washington state.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Kyle Brock's superhuman powers were magically endowed to him by the Egyptian god, Seth. As Earth-Lord, he has superhuman strength, stamina, and durability. He has the ability to draw strength and mass from the ground to become a giant with superhuman physical attributes, and can return to his normal size and mass at will. He wears a costume of enchanted metal and fabric that grow and shrink as Earth-Lord changes size. The glowing sign of Aton can appear on Brock's palm.
Brock is a good hand-to-hand combatant, having received police training in unarmed combat and marksmanship with firearms. As Brock, he employs a conventional handgun and nightstick as a policeman.
