Powers
Rune was vastly powerful. He was a cosmic vampire that absorb the souls and power of his victims, which were mostly Ultras or other very powerful beings.

Abilities
He had the ability of flight and could survive in the vacuum of space without life support. He was virtually indestructible, he could heal from being decapitated, although it my take years to heal depending on how severe his injuries were. He could also project energy bolts from his hands.

Paraphernalia
Star Stones are colorful shards of an artifact that was known as the "the Eye of the Infinite". The stones would later become known as the "Black Heart of Darkness". The Star Stones housed the souls of Rune's fallen victims. It is documented that if one of the stones were destroyed, the souls within it would be released to do battle with their captive. Rune came to possess the stones early in his existence when he still possessed his human form. It was through the Star Stones that Rune was transformed into his demon form and enhanced strength and durability. Rune appeared to have considerable strength and durability without the stones as well.

First Appearance
Sludge #3 (1993)

In the countless millennium before the dawn of mankind upon the planet Earth, there raged among the stars an imperious warlord, with an insatiable lust for carnage. He destroyed entire races and cultures among the galaxies. With his victims numbering in the billions. He came to be known by many names among the thousands of empires he had conquered.

Prince of Blood: his savagery in battle was but a prelude to his hedonistic rituals of eviscerating many of his victims and gorging on their flesh.

Prince of the Void: so called for the utter desolation left in his wake; relentlessly razing entire cities to smoldering husks.

The Dark Lord: finally defeated in a spectacular battle that raged for five hundred years, the bloodied prince fled to earth, a planet still in its infancy. It was there among the burgeoning clans and tribes of early man was worshiped as a God. He remained here in hiding from his galactic enemies and in need of life sustaining energy he fell victim to the withering power of the hydrogen bomb. Riddled with disease the once conqueror of the stars themselves struggled to defeat the plague that consumed his body. We came to know him as Rune.
