Who is Adversary?

Origin The Adversary's goal is to destroy this universe and replace it with a new one under his control. He is an energy being with no physical form and so magic must be used to defeat him, but he has also shown weakness to cold iron, steel, and Adamantium . The Cheyenne Indians were aware of Adversary's existence and their shaman, Naze , often battled him. Naze eventually trained Forge to take his place. Adversary felt that his biggest threats on Earth were Storm and Forge, so he took on the form of Naze and tricked Storm into thinking that Forge was trying to destroy the Earth because he was under the control of Adversary. He had opened a portal to his dimension through which many demons were pouring out. Adversary led Storm to believe that this was Forge's doing and sent her to stop him. Forge was near the portal because he was trying to close it but Storm saw him and stabbed him and they both fell into the portal.
