suicide with the aid of a being known as Deathurge. Now calling himself "Hellstorm", Daimon ultimately discovered a way to finally defeat his father. Daimon discovered his father's secret true name – Marduk Kurios – and used the power of this knowledge to finally kill him. Daimon then became the new "Satan", ruling over his father's realm of Hell. He later used this power to allow Hawkeye and the Thunderbolts to resurrect Patsy from the dead.Daimon battled the Black School.
