The Supra-divinoid (Character)

The Supra-divinoid, also known as the Supreme Central Computer, was one of the most powerful computers of the Techno Church. He was one of the main repressive forces of City Shaft, and assured the Techno's control in the goverment. He conspired to keep the secret about the haloes' origin from the public and erased John DiFool's memory to make sure he didn't divulge the truth. Years later, the Benthacodon killed the Supra-divinoid after penetrating his ultra-armored temple.

He made his first appearance in the second issue of Before the Incal, Class "R" Detective.

Early years
The Supra-divinoid was created by the Techno-pope, and functioned as the Techno-techno's central computer, being automatically informed of anything brewing or being plotted in City Shaft. The Supra-divinoid could immediately dispatch the forces at its service (Hunchbacks, cybo-cops, endogurads) to quickly restore the order, and also had his Central Computer directly linked to the endocity's surveillance system. As other Techno creations, he wasn't allowed to display bio-emotions.

Killing John DiFool's witnesses
One day the pre-detective John DiFool, hoping to get the offical detective license, decided to investigate the mysterious disappearance of newborns from poor women. When this information was received at Police Central, the cybo-cop XP-207 informed the Supra-divinoid that John had chosen a “taboo” subject for his investigation, since it could potentially unravel the true about the aristos' haloes. The Supra-divinoid, afraid of what this could entail, decided to obstruct DiFool investigation as much as possible, without being noticed. To avoid witnesses, he destroyed XP-207.

The Supra-divinoid used all the information gathered by the eye-cop assigned to John to always stay a step ahead of the pre-detective's investigation. Thus, when John tried to speak to a key witness, his caretaker from childhood named Sofiah, the Supra-divinoid sent a Techno Combat Robot to destroy her conapt. Days later, when John started to interrogate Sex Kitten, a prostitue who had information about the case, Police Central, complying with the Supra-divinoid's orders, took control of the eye-cop and shot the witness. These incidents made John realize that there are powers at the highest levels of the state that were trying to stop his investigation, and smahed the eye-cop's camera.

Attempt to entrap John
Afraid that the goverment could be on the verge of a scandal the Supra-divinoid contacted his co-conspirators (the Techno-pope, the Prezident, and the Prime Minister). He was particularly worried that the eye-cop assigned to John's case could communicate with the millions of other eye-cops and expose their secret. The Techno-pope pointed out that the Prezident had recently been cloned into an amphibious octopus from Betelgama, and therefore was unable to speak, which angered the Supra-divinoid. He ordered to have the Prezident transferred to the body of professor Nump of Satellite University instead. Once the Prezident was transferred, the conspirators decided to use Luz De Garra's relationship with John to get at the young pre-detective.

The attempt to entrap John in Lord De Garra's conapt eventually failed, and with the help of Kolbo-5 DiFool managed to escape. At that point a battle between the cybo-cops and Kolbo-5 and John began, attracting media attention. This made the Supra-divinoid worried, since the holovid cameras could uncover the scandal, so he used the chain-of-command to contacts the cybo-commander at Police Central, who in turns contacted Sergeant P-938K, to order a cease fire and avoid any controversy.

Clash at the Cocaloco headquarters
The conspiratos kept monitoring John's movements and argued about how to procede: The cybo-commander wanted to drop a megaton in their heads, while the Prime Minister wanted her daughter to have her vengeance on John DiFool. The Prezident wanted to liquidate the Prime Minister but the Supra-divinoid suggest against it, since it would bring too much attention. Finally, the Supra-divinoid recommended to wait for John to make the first wrong step.

Eventually, John managed to infiltrate the Cocaloco factory and witnessed how the Top-33 was administred. When DiFool tried to escape the Supra-divinoid ordered the cybo-cops to chase and execute him, excusing it as a “national security” issue if necessary. However, a number of eye-cops had aligned with John, and they put into action operation kamikaze, blowing themselves up to slower down the police. These series of blunders made the Supra-divinoid lose confidence in Lord De Garra's ability to stop John, and demoted him to administrator of Correction Center 315.

Intervention at the aristo-maternity
Angered about the the fact that DiFool is uncovering the truth, the Supra-divinoid deduces that John will try to get into the aristo-maternity, so he proposed a plan to his co-conspirators: They would let everyone enter in the aristo-maternity, but no one would be a ble to exit without being inspected.

John successfully infiltrated the aristo-maternity posing as an aristo and pretending that Luz was pregnant, and once inside he discovered the full truth about the aristos. However, after consulting his databanks, the Supra-divinoid realized that it was mathematically impossible for Luz to be pregnant and it was actually a ruse. The Supra-divinoid alerted the cybo-commander, but John and Luz -with the help of a group of psycho-anarchists- managed to escape once again, which made the Supra-divinoid so angry that his diodes almost melt down.

The cover-up
Now that John and Luz were with the psycho-anarchists (leaded by Snailhead), they planned to crash the cancer-freak championship and unravel the secret about the aristos in front of everyone. cancer-freak championship. However, the Supra-divinoid knew everything about John's plans, because Snailhead was actually working as an informant for the police. The Supra-divinoid ordered to have Kolbo-5, Deepo and Lord De Garra kidnapped so that they could be used as hostages.

When Luz and John were about to reveal the secret at cancer-freak chamionship an elevator platform lowered them to an underground room, were they found themselves surrounded by purple endoguards (under the authority of the Techno-pope), the Prezident and his hunchbacks, and the cybo-commander with his cybo-cops. Then, the Supra-divinoid revealed to them that he had Mr. De Garra, Kolbo-5 and Deepo as prisoners, and threatened to kill them if they told the truth. At that point John and Luz realized that in that situation love was more important than telling the truth, so they decided to keep the secret, and in exchange their friend were spared.

As part of the cover-up John's memory was erased and Luz was sent to Diavaloo's satellite.

Trying to stop John DiFool from remembering
Years later, after coming into contact with the Incal and the eternal being Orh, John DiFool started to remember parts of his memories that had been erased. Following the Supra-divinoid's order a patrol of cybo-cops detained DiFool and started to interrogate him to test if he remembered anything. At that moment John started to recollect the “brain cleanse” he had experienced many years before, and started to remember the existence of Luz. However, when the cybo-cops where about to kill John suddenly an explosion took place outside. The explosion had been cause by a scarab, who rescued John before also being destroyed. Still escaping from the cybo-cops John hid in the sewers. Since the sewers were too big, the Supra-divinoid suggested using tantrin gas to force DiFool to come out, but John managed to steer clear from the cybo-cops.

Afterwards John ran into a crowd, and observed how a strange virus was starting to infect the citizens. The cybo-cops surrounded John, but just when the Supra-divinoid was about to order his execution the connection was lost and the cybo-cops were unable to shoot. Suddenly, a giant dragonfly, who was the one suppressing the techno system, come flying and saved John. The dragonfly flied to the surface, and showed John who was behind the spread of the biophage virus: The Bethacodon, a being which had been created by Techno-experimentation, and posed a threat to all living things.

Attacked by the Bethacodon
The being behind the spread of the biophage virus was the Bethacodon, the black meca-mutant, which had been created by Techno-experimentation, and now posed a threat to all living things. The Benthacodon quickly took control of the Prezident's new cloned body, eliminating the Prezident’s consciousness, which allowed him to function independent of the Techno system. Then, The Benthacodon-prezident penetrated the Supra-divinoid’s ultra-armored temple. The Bethacodon-prezident wanted the Supra-divinioid to serve him, but he refused, arguing that bio-technology was more powerful, since the primordial intelligence resided in the cell. The Bethacodon-prezident disagreed, and killed the Supra-divinoid on the spot.
