History
Spiritualist Professor O. Iji Boarde was visited in his dreams by the goddess Persephone, who told him:
- War is overflowing the halls of the dead! Hades cannot hold them! Take this, the Mantle of Pluto, and fight to end war!
He was the second public net.hero (or "enigma man", in the parlance of the time) on Earth-20, after Lass Lady. At some point, he mentored the boy who would become Silver Age Very-Disturbed-Scary-Creature Man.
It has not been revealed what happened to him, but we've got enough immortal characters, so he's pretty clearly dead. But his spirit lives on in the Mantle, which has passed on to his successors, watching over and guiding them.
