Shadraq is a mysterious entity, "an ancient evil", who empowers the ritual known as the Gathering of the Five. The ritual gathers five people who seek five magic gifts, randomly distributed among the participants. They are death,immortality, knowledge, madness and power. In the latest ritual Override/Greg Herd received death ... but not the way the participants figured. Shadraq took possession of Herd's body, gaining an avatar.

In this form, Shadraq resembled a skeleton consumed with mystical fire. The fire could not actually incinerate anything but caused intense pain to any who touched it. Shadraq could however melt through steel and concrete by slightly altering the spell. He also had superhuman strength and resistance to injury.

A conflict between the composite form of Shadraq and Gray Dolman, a man who had gained immortality in a 14th century Gathering, ended up turning Dolman to the third component of the form. Herd has since resurfaced with no evidence of Shadraq's or Dolman's powers. How they seperated is unknown. The Amazing Spider-Man #443
