Fictional character biography
Infinity-Man is initially Astorr, a powerful alien warrior who gives his title to Drax, Darkseid's brother.[3] Drax goes on to serve Highfather on New Genesis, where he encounters the Forever People. Whenever Infinity-Man is needed, the Forever People grant him special powers by touching their Mother Boxes and reciting the word "Taaru". This ritual causes the Forever People to enter a state of limbo which lasts until Infinity-Man returns power to them.
In one story, Darkseid believes Infinity-Man to be a threat and places him in another dimension. Subsequently, he resides on the planet Adon until the Forever People free him.
A later storyline focuses on Devilance and his vendetta against the Forever People and Infinity-Man. Devilance tracks down Infinity-Man to an island, where the two engage in a duel that results in the island's destruction. The two appear dead, but, with the Forever People's aid, Infinity-Man recovers.
In Countdown to Final Crisis and Death of the New Gods, Infinity-Man kills most of the New Gods before being killed by Mister Miracle.
In The New 52 continuity reboot, Infinity-Man is depicted as the embodiment of Highfather's conscience.[4][5]
