Left Hand (Diego Casseas), is a fictional comic book character owned by Marvel Comics who exists in that company's productions (Marvel Universe). He is member of the supervillain group, the Folding Circle.
Fictional character biography
Diego Casseas' 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 had 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 ten years later and became the Left Hand.[1]
The Left Hand then began gathering the children of the pact, founding the Folding Circle. With them, he battled The New Warriors and Tai. Casseas apparently died when he fell into the dimensional well of the Dragon's Breadth cult after Tai was shot by Night Thrasher.[2]
Powers and Abilities
The Left Hand had the ability to access and manipulate the energy of the Darkforce dimension. He used this ability to project blasts of extreme concussive force (sufficient to kill a human being with little effort), and to teleport himself and others over long distances. The full extent of his abilities is unknown.
Universal Wellspring
The Left Hand is a mutate like the other members of the Folding Circle. His powers come from the Universal Wellspring, as revealed in Thunderbolts #107.
