The Prezident (Character)

The Prezident was the aristo president of Terra 2014, and was under the Emperoress’s command. He acted as a dictator of sorts, with total governmental control over City Shaft and was able to perpetuate himself in power by cloning (transplanting his soul) into new organisms. He was part of the state conspirancy to hide the true nature of the aristos' haloes, obstructing John DiFool's investigation into the matter. Years later he would also try to get his hands on the Incal, at one point turning into the Necrodroid and going to the Center of the Planet to steal it, but he was unsuccessful. Eventually the Prezident was cloned into a new metallic body, which the Bethacodon used to take over the Prezident's consciousness.

He made his first appearance on the first issue of The Incal, The Black Incal.

As a blue hermit
The prezident was cloned into the body of a blue hermit, and attended the great aristo ball

As an andromedan dwarf
Days later, the Prezident was cloned into the body of an andromedan dwarf, but due to a virus the body quickly started to rot. With the Prezident's chances of survival in question, political instability ensued, and the endocity started to riot. The mob wanted to storm the upper levels, and sworm across the docking platform demanding the surrender of the Prezidential Floating Palace. As a result, a delegation of negotiation was set up between aristos and Techno-technos ministers, the Metabaron and a group of Psycho-anarchist leaders, each one bidding for the talents of the Metabaron. Meanwhile, Techno-technos scientists started to prepare a new Prezidential cloning.

Succesfully cloned into a new body
Under the supervision of the Techno-pope and the Metabaron the Techno-techno scientists successfully cloned the Prezident into a new human body. The Techno-technos blamed the Prezident’s virus on a mutant (despite the fact that the mutant claimed he had only injected the Prezident with amorine). After the mutant was executed, the Prezident declared open season in the mutant sector for the hunchback army as vengance. The hunchbacks proceeded to massacre the mutant population.

Days later, while The Prezident was campaing for his war agaisnt Mega-mex in front of a crowd an explosive was thrown on him, which revealed the person who was actually speaking as the Prezident was a robot and the real Prezident wasn't actually there. This enraged the crows, and another massacre took place.

As an amphibious octopus
The Prezident was then cloned into an amphibious octopus from Betelgama. This new organism only lasted a brief moment, since he wasn't able to talk with the new body. The Supra-divinoid, who was getting increasingly worried about John DiFool's investigation into the halo conspirancy, ordered to have the Prezident cloend again so he could talk to him.

As Professor Pump
Following the Supra-divinoid orders, the Prezident was cloned into the body of Professor Pump from Satellite University. Once transferred, he suggested to the rest of the conspirators using Luz De Garra's relationship with John to get at the young pre-detective.

After Prime Minister De Garra's attempt to entrap John failed, the Prezident proposed to liquidite the Prime Minister for his blunder but the Supra-divinoid suggested against it, since it would have brought too much attention. Instead, the Supra-divinoid recommended waiting for John to make the first wrong step.

After John DiFool managed to infiltrate the Cocaloco headquarters and saw how Top-33 was administered he broke out of the facility by using a biovitasteak attack as a distraction. The resulting bad angered the Technopope and teh Prezident, who were important shareholders of the Cocaloco company. In the meantime Prime Minister De Garra was demoted to administrator of a Correction Center.

As a bearded lady
After a mutiny broke out in De Garra's Correction Center 315 the Prezident cloned himself again, this time into the body of a bearded lady.

The Techno-pope and the Prezident had a metting with the Supra-divinoid, who was angry at them for their incompetence. The Supra-divinoid, afraid that DiFool was getting closer to uncovering the truth, proposed a new plan to the co-conspirators: They would let everyone enter the aristo-maternity, but no one would exit without being inspected. However, the Supra-divinoid plan eventually failed. DiFool and Luz successfully got inside the airsto-maternity and discovered the secret origin of the haloes. They also managed to escape with the help of some psycho-anarchists (leaded by Snailhead after he had survived the hunchback's massacre).

Luz and John plotted with the psycho-anarchists to publicly reveal the truth about the aristos' halo at the cancer-freak championship. However, the Supra-divinoid was already aware of the plan, since Snailhead had actually been brainwashed into becoming an infromant. Thus, the Supra-divinoid ordered the Techno-pope and the Prezident to let John and Luz go ahead with their plan, and in the meantime they would kidnap Kolbo-5, Deepo and Lord De Garra.

When John and Luz were about to reveal the secret at the championship, they wore lowered in a platform to an undergound room, were the Supra-divinoid, the techno-pope, the cybo-commander and the Prezident used their troops and their hostages as extortion, ensuring that John and Luz would remain silent about the secret.

Capturing DiFool
Approximately ten years later, the ninth prezidential clonage took place, and the Prezident was cloned into the body of a muscled man. At one point, the Prezident became aware of the existence of the Incal, and knew that in possession of John DiFool. The Prezident sent a group of hunchbacks to DiFool's conapt to capture him, and he was brought to the Floating Palace. Initially the Prezident treated John as a guest, and he was taken to the orgy chamber. John made himself comfortable in the chamber’s cushions of light, but suddenly he started to glow and levitate, and after feeling a burning sensation he barfed, disrespecting the Prezident, who ordered his arrest. However, John managed to escape from the Floating Palace, stealing his supreme highness ship.

Shortly after, riots started to kicke off in City Shaft, the Bergs attacked the planet and the Technocity was destroyed. Aware of the chaotic situation Kabos suggested to the Prezident that he should ask the Emperoress, but the Prezident was unsure. However, as the rebels began to assault the Floating Palace, a hunchback gave the Prezident the royal transmitter, further pressuring him into calling the Emperoress, but the Prezident stricked down the hunchback with the halo sickness for daring to insult his highness. Afterwards, realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Prezident decided to finally make use of the hyper-transmitter to get in touch with the Emperoress, while a multitude waited outside the dawn door of the imperial alloy, eager to lynch him.

In the Floating Palace the Emperoress is telling off the Prezident for various reasons: The riots, the Berg invasion (he/she has sent the imperial fleet), the Shadow Egg disrupting their sun’s corona, and the destruction of Techno City. The megaholiness is also disturbed by the presence of the Incal, and advises him to turn into the Necrodroid and start resolving the situation on the ground.

As the Necrodroid
After the Prezident called the Emperoress, he/she nagged him for letting the situation get out of hand, and suggested that he should turn into the Necrodroid and go after the Incal. The Prezident complied, and turned himself into the Necrodroid, massacring the rebels and heading towards the Center of the Planet to retrieve the Incal.

The Necrodroid, feeling a powerful telepathic probe in the mythical lands of Center Earth, went through the whirlpool in the Great Acid Lake, while he used his prezidential data-feed to transmit everything that was happening to all the Human Galaxy. However, John and Animah used the power of the Incal to close off the whirlpool, damaging the Necrodroid's shield. When the Necrodroid arrived to the land of Center Earth he assumed the form of a bipedal robot.

Chasing The Seven Companions, the Necrodroid used his equipment to go through the Tower's labyrinth, and later ripped a crystal from the floor and used it to activate the anti-grw lift to pass through the door of light (deteriorating his shell in the process). To pass through The Mirror, the Necrodroid morphed into the Necro-panzer, breaking through. Next, the Necrodroid tried to descend inside the spiral ramp where the Doorway of Transfiguration was, but the Crystal Forest's microbrivations had weakened his last shell. When the Incals merged and the Incal spaceship was formed, the remains of the Necrodroid fell inside of it. The Necrodroid was completely destroyed. Only the necropod, still transmitting to the viewers, managed to survive. Some time later, John used the necropod's data-feed, still plugged to the Imperial broadcast, to inform the people of the Galaxy about the incoming battle against Technogea, encouraging everyone to join the imperial forces.

As the Meca-prezident
Eventually John met the supreme being Orh, who transported DiFool to a new seemingly identical universe. IN that universe, the Prezident was being cloned into a new metallic body, from a state-of-the-art android, which made him immune to the biophage virus which was quickly spreading through City Shaft. The virus was actually being spread by the Bethacodon, a being which had been created by Techno-experimentation, and posed a threat to all living things. The Bethacodon, took over the Prezident's new metallic body, eliminating the Prezident's consciousness, and allowing him to function independent of the Techno system.

As the Meca-prezident the Bethacodon killed the Techno-pope and the Supra-divinoid, and forced every citizen to resign their bio-names and to clone themselves into a metallic form.

Then the Meca-prezident ordered to have Deepo brought to him. Deepo was captured, and the Prezident tried to extract information from him without success. The Meca-prezident had prepared a tantalic probe that retained its full ultra-nuclear charge and was ready to launch on autopilot, but he needed a target. He taped into Deepo’s subconscious to get information about John's whereabouts, but Deepo's brainwave was going in circles. The Meca-prezident concluded that DiFool was directly under them, in the antipode. The Meca-prezident launched the probe into the undergorund, with Deepo inside it. However, just moments before the probe hit the Mother Tree, John managed to escape to outer space.

While the Meca-prezident was readying to to send his cargo of virus vessels throughout the universe, he was informed that the Emperoress was preparing a blockade against him, and that the last reamining Technos had taken refuge on Technogea and had elected a new Technopope, and that John DiFool had managed to escape the attack on Mother Tree.

The anti-Bethacodon forces, supported by Elohim and the Technos joined forces to launch an attack against the Bethacodon. John DiFool and Luz were transported to City Shaft by an Archangel, which was shot down by the Meca-prezident (although John and Luz survived).

Evntually the resistance launched an attack on City Shatf, and the rebels managed to get Inside the Floating Palace, where they reached the Meca-prezident. Meanwhile, Elohim started attacking the Bethacodon, which created an energy hurricane on the surface. At that moment the Bethacodon's plan became clear: they were going to spread a viral cloud through the Palace’s upper ventilation system so that the air current created by the energy hurricane would spread throughout the atmosphere, leaving no organic molecule in the planet or any of the other parallel universes. The Meca-prezident tried to escape on a small spaceship, but he was having problems taking off. One of the rebel leadres, Kill Wolfhead, took advantage of the situation, and used a laser pistol to melts the spaceship's engines, making it fall down to the Great Acid Lake, killing the Meca-prezident.
