Nommo is a DC Comics character with a long and rich history in the comic book universe. He is also known as Doctor Mist, a powerful and ancient sorcerer who has founded and led several teams of superheroes, such as the Global Guardians and the Leymen. 

Nommo’s story begins in the prehistoric era when he was the king of the Kor. This mythical African empire was home to a race of Homo Magi, humans with innate magical abilities. Nommo was the guardian of the Mystical Flame of Life, a source of immense power that granted him immortality and enhanced his magic. He used his wisdom and skills to protect his people and the world from threats, such as the evil sorcerer Felix Faust, who tried to steal the flame from him.

Nommo eventually left Kor and traveled the world, witnessing many historical events and meeting many legendary figures. He adopted different aliases and identities throughout the centuries, such as Maltis and Doctor Mist. He also became involved in various mystical affairs, such as fighting a possessed Vandal Savage alongside other divine entities or joining forces with John Constantine to track down a hunger demon.

Nommo is one of the most powerful magicians in the DC universe, thanks to his natural talent, extensive knowledge, and connection to the Mystical Flame of Life. His powers include:

– Immortality: Nommo does not age or die from natural causes. He has lived for over 10,000 years and has survived many injuries and attacks that would kill an average human.
– Magic: Nommo can manipulate mystical energies to perform various feats, such as telekinesis, telepathy, energy projection, magic absorption, eldritch blast, force field, healing, etc. He can cast spells, enchant objects, summon creatures, and travel between dimensions.
– Molecular Reconstruction: Nommo can alter the structure and properties of matter at a molecular level. He used this ability to repair the broken Tantu Totem, a powerful artifact that grants its wearer animal abilities.
– Leadership: Nommo is a skilled leader who has founded and led several teams of superheroes over the years. He is also well-versed in politics and diplomacy, having worked with various governments and organizations.

Nommo has been involved in many adventures and conflicts throughout his long life. Some of his most notable ones are:

– Founding the Global Guardians: In the 20th century, Nommo created the Global Guardians, a team of superheroes from different countries who worked for the Dome, a supra-national police organization funded by the European Economic Community. The group included heroes such as Jack O’Lantern, Owlwoman, Godiva, and Bushmaster. The team faced many enemies, such as the Queen Bee of Bialya, who brainwashed some members and created an android, Doctor Mist, to lead them. Nommo eventually freed his teammates and reformed the team with a new base in the Pacific.
– Founding the Leymen: After the Zero Hour crisis that altered reality, Nommo resurfaced as Maltis and formed a new team of heroes called the Leymen. The group consisted of heroes connected to ley lines, natural sources of mystical energy that crisscrossed the Earth. The team included heroes such as Maya, Equinox, Jack O’Lantern II, and more. The team faced many threats, such as Mordru, an ancient evil wizard who killed Nommo by throwing him into a pool of acid.
– Joining the Justice League Dark: In the New 52 continuity that rebooted reality again, Nommo was recruited by Steve Trevor of ARGUS to join the Justice League Dark, a team of supernatural heroes led by John Constantine. Nommo adopted Doctor Mist again and worked with heroes such as Zatanna, Deadman, Black Orchid, and more. However, he was later revealed to be a double agent working for Felix Faust, who had promised to restore his lost power from the Mystical Flame of Life.
