First appearance
Balthakk first appeared in June, 1965, on X-Men I #12. He was a mystical being who, along with seven other beings (Farallah, Cyttorak, Balthakk, Ikonn, Raggadorr, Watoomb, Valtorr, and Krakkan), disagreed as to who had the greatest power. To settle the matter, they entered into the Wager of the Octessence, each created a totem, and each totem held a fraction of its creator's vast power and would transform the first human who touched it into an Exemplar, a living embodiment of that power.
