Left Hand (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diego Casseas, better known as Left Hand, is a member of the Marvel Comics supervillain group, the Folding Circle.

[edit] Fictional character biography

Diego Casseas's wife was one of the brides of the Dragon's Breadth cult that Diego's military unit, the "Half-Fulls", encountered in Cambodia during the Vietnam war. The cult has been breeding superhumans for centuries, hoping to tap into the vast power of the Well of All Things, a mystic portal in an ancient temple. The Half-Fulls became part of this breeding program, each member fathering a child with a cult member. Diego's wife died and their daughter was left comatose after the fall of an elevator. Diego, having studied sorcery, stole his daughter's powers soon after and became the Left Hand.

The Left Hand then began gathering the children of the pact and founded the Folding Circle. The Left Hand died when he fell into the well of the dragon's breath cult after Tai was shot by Night Thasher.

The Left Hand has the ability to teleport himself and others and to project a destructive energy.

[edit] Universal Wellspring

The Left Hand is not a mutant, he is a mutate like the other members of the Folding Circle as well as Silhouette and Midnight's Fire. His powers come from the Universal Wellspring as seen in Thunderbolts #107.
