Vext

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vext is a fictional character and the star of a short-lived 1998 comic book from DC Comics.

Vext is a God from the Jejeune Realm (also known as the Borough of Mawkish Indifference) in the Pan-Dimensional Pantheons. He is the "patron deity of mishap and misfortune," and true to that appellation, his world was phased out of existence because he and the other deities there were no longer actively worshipped by Mankind.

Vext was exiled to Earth, where he could live among human society and have access to the entire planet, as long as he did not attempt to deliberately interfere with the course of human affairs, try to take over the planet, or become a super-hero. He took up residence in Apartment 4-A of Mr. Danforth's apartment building in Delta City, which was also the home of a hero known as The Heckler (though he was not mentioned or seen in Vext's book). Vext's next-door neighbor is aspiring writer Colleen McBride, who does her best to help Vext adjust to his new life on Earth (not knowing, for most of the series, that Vext was a God).
