Information About

Qurac





HISTORY

Qurac had a Metahuman terrorist/mercenary strikeforce dubbed Onslaught (formerly known as The Jihad), a frequent opponent of the Suicide Squad . The Joker served as Quraci ambassador to the US on two occasions, gaining diplomatic immunity (a Retcon of a story in which he represented Iran ).

Weapons designed by John Henry Irons , the future Steel , were leaked by Amertek Enterprises to rebels in Qurac, resulting in many civilian deaths. Later, terrorists from Qurac staged a massive assault on the White House but were stopped by the Cyborg Superman in one of his first appearances. The assassin Cheshire detonated a nuclear warhead over the capital city, utterly destroying it in '' Deathstroke , the Terminator'' #19. She was later captured and put on trial, as chronicled in The Titans . Many of the Quraci survivors mutated into superhuman forms as a result of the bomb's radiation. A confrontation with one of the many Titans teams led some of them to being forcibly removed to another dimension as a form of self defense.

The rest of the country managed to persevere, as indicated in ''Justice League Of America'' #85, 2003. Under the influence of an outside telepathic force, the Quraci ruler drafted plans of a merger between his country and Bialya .

Trials of Shazam

Achilles surfaced in Qurac as a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps , asking Freddy Freeman , who sought to take up the mantle of the new Captain Marvel , to prove his courage to Achilles in combat against a ''hate empath'', a beast able to feed on emotion. Sabina, a young magician girl linked to the "Council of Merlin", sets free the beast while looking to draft some of Shazam's powers for herself and the Council.
