Marvel’s legendary, albeit forgotten, Ka Stone is a wacky alien artifact – one of many that just so happened to land in Ancient Egypt. Similar items wound up in the hands of Man-Wolf, Doctor Spectrum, Bloodstone, and a few others, but the Ka Stone made the Sphinx one of the most powerful unknown villains in the multiverse. With only the loosest ties to Egyptian myth or symbolism, the Sphinx’s control over the Ka Stone put him in conflict with Galactus, Devourer of Worlds, until he admitted the mortals who stood in his way were stronger and more cunning than he thought.First appearing in Marv Wolfman and Sal Buscema’s Nova #6 as the source of the Sphinx’s power, the Ka Stone sat in a temple until a disgraced wizard, Anath-Na Mut, retrieved it. Condor sought to steal the Ka Stone to become the Emperor of Crime, but the stone’s power made the Sphinx far more powerful than Condor and his goons could handle. Despite the stone’s potential to impact heroes across time and around the globe, low-level crooks like Diamond Head, Condor, and Powerhouse are bound to it. The stone and its wielder do not discriminate between street-level goons and genuine threats like Nova and The Fantastic Four, which is often their downfall. However, the true power of the Ka Stone might even be enough to dwarf the Infinity Stones.In its earliest appearances, The Ka Stone enabled the Sphinx to turn a traitor into dust, create and cloak his massive Pyramid of Knowledge, turn the Condor into an actual Condor, and trap his servant’s physical body in Hell. Later, he summons The Fantastic Four to tell them his origins, loosely adapted from a minor character in Exodus, and how he found the stone. He claimed that in his five-thousand-year quest for forbidden knowledge, he’d started wars untold in human history and specifically claimed responsibility for the fall of the Roman Empire.
