Shirak

Shirak the Devourer is an extra-dimensional god who has attempted to invade Earth at least twice. His features resemble those of shark. He is absolute master of the Ravagers, an army of humanoid shark-like creatures who reside in his home dimension.

History

His first known attack on this world occurred in 1959. Deep within the dank subway tunnels of Astro City, a small band of obsessed worshippers performed an arcane ritual that nearly brought him fully into our dimension. As his presence strengthened, he was able to transform those worshippers into a new minion of Ravagers. They were defeated by the combined forces of a newly organized Honor Guard, the Bouncing Beatnik and the Old Soldier.


Observations

While reporter Eliot Mills saw and reported on him for a feature story that he hope to see printed in the Astro City Rocket in 1959, it wasn't published and the general public did not hear of Shirak until five years later.
