"MAN SHALL KILL MAN. SON SHALL KILL BROTHER. DAUGHTER SHALL KILL SISTER. FOR AS LONG AS MANKIND CONTINUES THEIR DECAY, I SHALL NOT LAY A FINGER. BUT KNOW THIS, MORTAL, FOR EACH DAY THIS WORLD KNOWS PEACE, I SHALL RETURN THIS WORLD TO THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE. EACH WAR THAT WAS PREVENTED SHALL BEFALL THIS PLANET ALL AT ONCE."

- Altima to Doctor Ka on her choice to leave Earth unharmed

Altima, the Lady of Decaying Bones is an Old God who is said to have existed far before the creation of mankind, and is among one of the most powerful beings in the Champions Universe. According to ancient scribes, Altima existed as a deity whose sole purpose was to bring death and decay toward any living creature she would encounter. Of all the Old Gods, Altima meddled with humankind the most, the most prominent act of her involvement with mankind's state of decay was her creation of the virus, introducing the object into the mortal realm and leading to disease and death.

Traces of Altima's presence were detected by probes from UNTIL, who scoured the far reaches of the universe in a region known as The Decaying Realm. Upon discovering the existence of the probes, Altima tracked down the location of Earth and sought to bring decay to mankind once more, however, was stopped by Doctor Ka, who reasoned that the fate of mankind would be through wars and that without her intervention, mankind would tear themselves apart regardless from their history of violence. Satisfied with this, Altima vowed to not interfere with humankind's affairs, so long as Earth continued with its wars, and the battles between the superheroes and supervillains of the world.

It is through Altima's pact with Doctor Ka that the world cannot achieve true peace, as doing so would result in the Old God's return to terrorize mankind. Due to the cataclysmic scale of Altima's threat to the world, the Old God was designated by UNTIL as a Supercosmic Villain, and her existence was kept strictly confidential from the public.

Appearance

Altima is depicted to be a beautiful woman in her early thirties of appearance, with glowing green eyes, wild black wispy hair, pale skin, and an indifferent expression on her face. Contrary to her psychopathic personality, man has often found themselves enthralled by the Old God's appearance, which was believed to be intentional by the goddess as she believed those whom she deemed her prey should approach their death the same way decay and destruction are to occur: naturally.

When Altima channels her powers, a green hue along with an ethereal aura envelopes her body. The souls of those unfortunate enough to strike an interest in the sinister goddess can be seen howling in agony from within her aura.
