Spragg the Living Hill
1st app.- Journey into Mystery #68
Spragg is a member of an unnamed race, whose origins are unknown. They existed as relatively inert spores billions of years ago, and drifted for eons through space. As the Earth was forming, they were caught in its gravity well and pulled into what woule become the molten core of the planet. Initially they were trapped there, but eventually they developed telekinetic and other mental powers. These powers enabled them to create earthquakes. In recent history, about twenty years before the start of the modern era, one of these spores, a malevolent being known as Spragg, was caught in one of the spores' subterranean upheavals and brought to the surface of the Earth, in the land of Transylvania.
There Spragg thought to use his powers to enslave the inhabitants of Earth and become the master of the surface world. However, he found that his powers had been damaged in his violent journey, and he was limited to telepathy and hypnotic powers within his immediate vicinity. He took control of a small number of people, but then threatened to kill him if the entire village did not approach him. Once they approached him, he took control of them as well. He began instructing his servants to build a powerful dynamo to increase his mental powers, enabling him to exercise them across the surface of the entire planet.
