Origin
Timothy Karnes, the foster brother of Freddy Freeman (Captain Marvel Jr.) studied black magic to gain power.  Succeeding beyond his wildest dreams Karnes summoned the spirits of six demons.  In a blasphemous parody of Captain Marvel's powers the devils gave him the unique ability to transform into a living demon by uttering the word Sabbac.

Eventually imprisoned in Iron Heights, Karnes larynx was removed to insure that he could not call upon his demonic powers.  Transferred to the Antarctic metahuman prison known as the Slab, he along with over a thousand other superhuman prisoners escaped when the Outsiders confronted Brother Blood, who was attempting to use the prison as an operations base for world domination.

Recruited by Russian mobster Ishmael Gregor, Karnes who was unable to speak the mystic word, was put through a series of dark-magic ceremonies culminating in his unwitting death, transforming the mafia leader into an even deadlier Sabbac.
