Perg

    (Lightning, 1993-1994)
™ and ©1993 Joseph A. Zyskowski

Ramen Alexander Perg was a policeman in 1800s Chicago. Something turned him against the city he had sworn to protect, leaving him so black and evil that the citizens of Chicago stoned him to death. Apparently, the citizens were so afraid of the policeman that they chained his dead body, put a cross on his chest, and burned him. And it wasn’t even a Mob hit! Despite all these precautions, Perg rose the next day as a demonic being, using the cross they’d buried him with as a dagger. But despite appearances, the now-risen Perg fights for the side of Good. And the dagger? When he plunges it into an evildoer’s head, it actually cleanses them of evil. Much of the trouble Perg faces in this series comes from the understandable confusion that Perg’s appearance and tactics engender. Despite the fact that those he “cleanses” eventually reawaken free of evil tendencies, drug habits, and the like, Perg is hunted by both the police and other heroes of the Lightning universe.
