ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
The Shadow King is allegedly a multiversal manifestation of the dark side of the human consciousnesses, spawned by the first nightmare. A "nightmare whose fondest desire is to be a man," the Shadow King enjoys freeing the evil within human souls in order to gain mastery over their bodies. The nobler the spirit being degraded, the more the Shadow King reveled in the process of corruption. His goal was to destroy his old enemies, Charles Xavier, and Storm then to drown the world in a psychic ocean of hatred and evil.

Exusiai's Notes I loved the Shadow King storyline when I read it, just before the Jim Lee relaunch of the X-Men. This character would give just about anyone in the DC Universe a run for their money.
