The One Below All

Beneath the deepest layers of hell, beneath everything, there exists the Below-Place. The Below-Place exists as a prison for the darkest being in creation, The One Below All. The One Below All (or TOBA) is the embodiment of destruction, a mindless creature that only desires death and carnage. TOBA creates gamma mutates, such as the Hulk or the Leader, so it can attempt to use them as its vessel and achieve its true goal, to be the only presence in existence and be truly alone. The One Below All is actually the dark half/counterweight to The One Above All, or their “Hulk”.
