Hegemonic Enigma

*"Listen, this being is above all others, he can turn the Earth entirely off its axis should he wish it. The pillar I lean against, the buildings behind you, everything will fall to the ground and never get up again. Hear me, councilmen, for all the Iron Godking asks of you is this: a simple offering of baguettes and roasted duck to represent you and your people, willingly yielding to the will of supper."*
―An Outrider scout[src]
The **Iron Godking** is a recurring antagonist in the D.I.T. Literary Universe, serving as a minor yet crucial villain in *Superquack*, a background villain in *Superquack: Relapse of Power* and *S.M.S.B.: The Return of the Verasect*, the overarching antagonist in *Morgan*, and the main antagonist slated for *Superquack: Focal Point*. He is the extremely powerful, legendary, and nearly mythical leader of Nebula Prime, which he built to control the criminal underworld, as well as the father of Xerxes. He eventually became a religious icon to the Outriders, who worship him as a ruthless God, although in truth he was merely a decoy of the robot Mr. Baby Tutu, whose puppet John he took into custody.

## Biography

### Mythical regime

#### Nebula Prime's crusades

*"Xydarone IV gutted him. The Viskaan agenda failed as a result, and I escaped with… a girl. She sabotaged the operation, and indirectly saw to it that Dorphane Giles is… is no more."
"One woman couldn't have done this alone."
"Well, you see, I've been working with a very special mutant. A walking, talking miracle. One who possesses a Complete Arsenal."
"Return to me, and together we will decide how best to deal with such a living prodigy. Joey… from this day forth, we will be working far more closely."*
―Joey and the Iron Godking[src]
The Iron Godking's past is shrouded in mystery, but his followers described him as an ancient deity and sovereign ruler who has inspired generations of men since the Ice Age and possibly even further back in time. As a commander of deadly Technodemons and beastly mounts, he became a myth to his people, with only his most trusted men being aware that he really exists. The Iron Godking is revealed to have personally become the shadowy leader of a criminal organization called Nebula Prime. After forming a truce with Luphon Giles, he hired Bomb Man to make the Statue of Liberty vanish, but his ally was apprehended in his attempt to carry out the Iron Godking's orders. Hoping to prevent reinforcements from interfering, he personally came forth and placed mass-shadow mines with iron hulls along the Skip Sites in the area surrounding the Cosmic Interconnected Teleportation Matrix.

After the death of his underling, Maestro, the Iron Godking was contacted by Joey, who informed him that Maestro had been slain by Xydarone IV before the operation over Viskaa could be completed, and he had been working with a young woman that possesses a hitherto unheard of Complete Arsenal. Irritated, the iron Godking recalls Joey to his headquarters where he says the two will decide how best to deal with Morgan. He then activated his new electro-shaft and threatened Joey, telling him that they will be working much closer from that day on.

#### 2020 copycat attacks

*"Sir, we have failed to avenge the mockery to your name. However, the conflict served its purpose. All things, you see, happen for a reason, although we may not…"
"Cease your ranting now, and explain why you deserve to leave this castle with your life."
"Well, the thing is, our hidden agents analyzed the terrors in Quackville with every imaginable scanning device. The data we collected is priceless. And… you have a visitor."*
―An agent and the Iron Godking[src]
In 2020, the Iron Godking's forces apparently became increasingly dormant. The Iron Godking himself would eventually come to notice that many recent crimes committed by the hive-minded Outriders were later said to be from the entity himself as a man calling himself the Iron Godking assumed the responsibility behind the attacks. The impostor's affairs infuriated the Iron Godking who planned to recover his name by trapping the man who pretended to be him. He became aware of the Dinobot Invasion and he had his men collect valuable information via all kinds of scans with all possible devices during the climactic Battle of Quackville. The real Iron Godking was not willing to allow his mechanized impersonator to get away so easily and understood that he had a right to know the truth.

Later, an agent gave his report to the Iron Godking. Though the Iron Godking originally wanted to kill him for failing to apprehend Mr. Baby Tutu, who had built his idea from legends he had heard, unaware that the Iron Godking was quite real, the agent said that with the information they stole they have all they need before revealing the commander of the Outriders who had served as the evil robot's benefactor, John, was already in their custody. This would, however, cause a girl named Lindsay Kellerman to remember him.

The Iron Godking eventually had a daughter named Xerxes. Nearly two centuries later, the Baron recalled the horrible actions of Nebula Prime and its public leader, Maestro, voicing speculation that Maestro was overseen by an "even worse" individual.

## Personality and traits

*"Cease your ranting now, and explain why you deserve to leave this castle with your life."*
―Iron Godking[src]
Having his ruthless and tyrannical style of leadership, the better to command his highly savage and powerful Technodemons and keep his followers in line, the Iron Godking has demonstrated that he doesn't like to be imitated, being willing to punish those who dare to impersonate him for their purposes, even robots. A totalitarian leader, the Iron Godking was seen threatening his subordinates with death if they didn't accomplish his orders, like when one of his agents failed in apprehending Mr. Baby Tutu, or when Joey failed to prevent the slaying of Maestro. Nevertheless, the Iron Godking isn't extremely cruel with his men: when his agent told him that he had abducted John as for yet unknown purposes, and when Joey told him about Morgan, the Iron Godking simply spared them, demonstrating that he accepts any kind of useful progress on his plans.
