Joshua Morgan (New Earth)

Joshua Morgan is the son of the Warlord and his wife Tara.

History

He was born in the "lost world" of Skartaris. As an infant, Joshua was stolen from his parents by the evil sorcerer Deimos where he was raised to fight against and betray his own father.^[1] Instead, when Warlord came to collect his child from Deimos, Deimos cloned young Joshua.^[2] He rapidly aged the clone and forced it to fight Warlord to the death. Believing he had murdered his own child, Warlord was completely heartbroken. Secretly, however, the witch Ashiya gave the child to a kindly farming family.^[3] When his adoptive parents were killed, he came to Shamballah and became an ally of the Warlord anyway.

Notes

• Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985–86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
  

Trivia

• The witch Ashiya, who might have clued Warlord in to the identity of his son, was actually killed by Jennifer Morgan in Warlord #54.
