Powers: As a Kherubim Lord Entropy was extremely long-lived. His body was drained of most of its' lifeforce, forcing him to wear life-support armor. He wielded an Orb of Power which enabled him to alter reality and open spacetime warps.

History: (WildC.A.T.S: Covert Action Teams (Image) #9 (fb)) - Lord Entropy was among a number of Kherubim sent to Earth during the Kherubim / Daemonite war. During the Middle Ages Kherubim Lord Emp and Lord Entropy became knights, opposing evil wherever they found it. Brannoch The Dark sought to rule the land with his mystic sword, and kidnapped Entropy’s wife Gwynith. Emp and Entropy stormed his castle and slew Brannoch. Gwynith told Entropy she never had a doubt he would save her. Brannoch was possessed by a Daemonite, and with his death it possessed Gwynyth. Gwynyth told Entropy they could rule the land together, and when he refused she used the sword of power to drain his life energy, leaving him permanently disfigured. Emp had no choice but to kill Gwynyth by beheading her, and despite his pleas that she forced his hand Entropy called him a betrayer and swore vengeance.

(WildC.A.T.S: Covert Action Teams (Image) #8, 9) - Lord Entropy opened up a spacewarp in the Bermuda Triangle, sucking in the cruiseliner Island Angel. The ship’s owner, Jacob Marlowe, took his WildC.A.T.S Spartan and Voodoo aboard his ship Caribbean Princess to investigate, but they too were sucked into a spacewarp. WildC.A.T. Void sensed the disturbance in spacetime, and the psychic backlash put her into a coma, but not before she warned Marlowe’s assistant Jules that the WildC.A.T.S were in danger. Jules flew the MIRV to assemble the team to rescue Marlowe, Spartan and Voodoo, who found themselves in the lair of Lord Entropy. Entropy said fate had brought Marlowe, or Lord Emp as he knew him, into his hands, and promised to punish him for his perceived betrayal. Emp had no idea why Entropy had a grudge against him, and Entropy told the tale of their time as knights in the Middle Ages, and their clash with Brannoch The Dark that resulted in the death of Entropy’s wife Gynith. Emp admitted he couldn’t confirm or deny what Entropy told him because he had no memory of his life before four years previous. Entropy believed him, and used his Orb of Power to make him remember. Void woke from her coma, sensing Entropy using an Orb, and warped to the Bermuda Triangle to help her teammates locate Entropy. She told the WildC.A.T.S. she was attuned to Entropy’s Orb because she was herself an incarnation of an Orb of Power and located Entropy’s flying fortress. They found the passengers of the cruise ship bonded to the walls of the fortress. Emp relived the time he was forced to kill Entropy’s wife after she was possessed by a Daemonite. He was adamant that he did what he had to do, and as Entropy was prepared to kill him the WildC.A.T.S attacked him. Void allowed Emp to channel his forgotten Kherubim powers and after blasting Entropy with a bolt of energy the villain lost his will to sustain his flying fortress, and it started crumbling around him. The WildC.A.T.S escaped as the fortress collapsed on Entropy, killing him.
