Origin

Komodo is a human/lizard hybrid created by the Narn K Genetic Research Facility in North California, which specializes in creating monster henchmen for hire. He was kept as a prisoner and continued to be experimented on. He tried to escape once but got caught, which cost him his dragon-like wings. The second time he escaped, he had some help from the Gunwitch and was recruited to The Nocturnals.

Major Story Arcs

Black Planet

Doc Horror was feuding with Antonio Zampa, the heir to Narn K, when Zampa was killed by a former ally of the Nocturnals, Raccoon, who had dreams of becoming a gangster. He had killed Zampa to replace him in the criminal organization. While disposing of the body, Raccoon found a strange red octopus stuck under Zampa’s armpit. This information concerned Doc Horror, who believed the Crim had followed him to this planet.

To confirm his suspicions, he brought a few of his Nocturnals to the cemetery to dig up Zampa’s body. Once confirmed, he told the story of his journey to Earth to his fellow Nocturnals, who all committed to taking the Crim out. While waiting for Doc to plan their next move, Komodo was convinced by Eve After that Doc wanted the two of them to find a new way into the monster shop so they could free more of the test subjects. Unfortunately, they were caught by facility security in the tunnels underneath it and needed rescue.

The Nocturnals, with Raccoon as their guide, teleported into the tunnels where Komodo and Eve were surrounded by Crims. They were able to kill the Crims thanks to the advanced ammunition Doc created, mixing it with his portal technology, sending chunks of the Crims back to their homeworld. Fane tried to run off with Eve, but Raccoon and Komodo managed to break all the hybrids out while the Crims were busy with the other Nocturnals. Together, they overwhelmed Fane, freeing Eve and ending the Crim’s world takeover.
