Fictional character biography
Mahkizmo is the ruler of Machus, a world in an alternate 23rd century where men enslaved women. His timeline is the thematic opposite of Thundra's world of Femizonia, where women subjugated men. After Thundra travels to the 20th century of Earth-616 to change the past and prevent Machus from existing, Mahkizmo is sent to stop her. Mahkizmo battles the Fantastic Four before teleporting Thundra back to Machus. Once there, Mahkizmo imprisons Thundra and saps her will using an energy beam.
When the Fantastic Four confront him, Mahkizmo manages to stop them and capture Medusa. However, Medusa entrances Mahkizmo and knocks him out before escaping. Mahkizmo sentences Thundra and the Fantastic Four to death in a gladiatorial arena, fighting them himself when they defeat his champions. As Mahkizmo defeats them all, Medusa arrives with Thundra's Femizons, who battle the Machans. Thundra and the Thing punch Mahkizmo at the same time, causing an energy implosion that destroys his body.[2] This causes the barriers between Machus and Femizonia to dissolve, with the two worlds merging.[volume&issueneeded]
Mahkizmo survives the implosion as an intangible and invisible entity, and is angered that the people of the merged world are living peacefully. He takes over the body of one of the new world's men, which he transforms to resemble his original body. Mahkizmo travels to the 20th century and planned to kill every woman in the past to keep the worlds from merging. Mahkizmo attacks She-Hulk until Cupid shoots him with an arrow that causes him to fall in love with She-Hulk instead. He takes She-Hulk back to his world to make her his bride, but is thwarted by her and the Thing.[3]
Mahkizmo is among the Fantastic Four's enemies who meet with the Puppet Master to propose an alliance. The Fantastic Four are able to capture Mahkizmo and transfer him to Negative Zone Prison Alpha. Mahkizmo, along with the other inmates, is freed by the sorceress Threska, only to be stopped by the Fantastic Four and returned to his cell.[4][5]
