Hey, check some of the powers of Nyx (aka Nox) in the Marvel universe.

Interesting sighting on her need for fear to assist her powers.

Different universe to the Mythmaker's one though.

There's also the Nyx from Resident Evil Outbreak File 2. I can't find ANY images. But its a black, shapeshifting blob of evil and death.


other refrences to Nyx as the 'black blood of the earth'

Hm...guess that's one goddess we didn't cover in my high school mythology class (one of the few I can honestly say I enjoyed).

Well, they had a god controlling the sun, so it makes sense. Maybe we covered her briefly and I just plum forgot.

Just bringing up this old topic since someone asked me about Nyx and realised I hadn't added a few details in here (heck, I was exploring this when we didn't know that Nodens was the SGirls patron elder god).

Nyx is the mother of Charon (the ferryman of the river styx). She's also the mother of Hypnos (another elder god).
