The Mummy

History: Coming to Earth centuries ago with the intention of conquest, the giant Mummy found the atmosphere of the Earth poisonous. Building a pyramid to protect itself, the Mummy lay in a state of suspended animation. Roused from its slumber by explorers in the pyramid, the Mummy, its mind still dulled by its slumber, chased after the explorers. The Mummy broke out of the pyramid to the outside world, where it was once again exposed to the Earth's atmosphere. Realizing too late what it had done, the giant Mummy apparently died

Height: 20 ft.
Demonstrated Powers: The Mummy was strong enough to smash through stone walls.

Comment: It was never shown what The Mummy looked like beneath the bandages; it is unknown if The Mummy was a living being or a machine.

Comment: It is unknown if there is any connection between The Mummy, Gomdulla, or Mummex (see Tales to Astonish # 8).

Comment: Speculation - Although The Mummy's story chronologically was told after the Gomdulla story, it is possible that The Mummy went on to become Gomdulla; Gomdulla's past, before he was on display in the museum, was never shown. The Mummy apparently died, and perhaps the activating stud on Gomdulla's foot was some sort of resuscitating mechanism. Perhaps the “dead” nameless Mummy (whose mind was dulled from centuries of slumber) was “cleaned up” and put on display in the museum, and he went on to become Gomdulla after his mind cleared and he remembered his real name.

Comment: The Mummy should not be confused with N'Kantu the Living Mummy (introduced in Supernatural Thrillers # 5).
