DC Khalis: The Healing Mummy

Who Is DC Khalis?

For you who doesn’t know who Khalis is, he is a part of the Creature Commandos. Specifically, he is a mummy, so you might think he is similar to Aten, who is also a mummy. Khalis had joined several missions that the Creature Commandos took part of, but what made him get famous again recently is because he was in the 7th episode of the new DC's Creature Commandos TV Series: A Very Funny Monster.

The Origin Story of DC Khalis

How Khalis became a mummy is unknown. However, originally, he was a powerful priest and servant of Anubis. Khalis’ real name is Hetepkheti Tefnakhte. He was also the original owner of the Amulet of Anubis before the amulet was taken by Nabu. The story of his life until he died was unknown, but he was mummified and reappeared in the 1940s. At the time, he was the enemy of Doctor Fate. Fate and Inza Cramer defeated Khalis and sealed him away. No one knew what happened with Khalis until one day, he was brought back to life and recruited as a member of Creature Commandos. Specifically, as a healer.

DC Khalis in The Creature Commandos TV Series

In the 7th episode as mentioned before, Khalis made non-speaking cameo appearances. He was an inmate in Belle Reve Penitentiary, but then he was recruited into Creature Commandos, being a part of the new team led by The Bride, with the members being Phosphorus, Nosferata, Weasel, G.I. Robot, and King Shark. This was mentioned to be the end of Season 1, but who knows what Khalis would become in the upcoming seasons?

DC Khalis in Prime Earth

In Prime Earth, Khalis is also a member of Creature Commandos, but The Bride isn’t a part of this team. The team was under The Super-Human Advanced Defense Executive (S.H.A.D.E.), an organization led by Father Time. The Commandos itself was led by Frankenstein, and the members were Nina Mazursky, Vincent Velcoro, and Warren Griffith.

DC Khalis’ Powers and Abilities

Even though we haven’t known much about Khalis in the TV Series, the Prime Earth universe provides quite a lot of information about his powers and abilities.

DC Khalis’ Powers

His main power is Zombie Physiology. We need to remember that due to him being resurrected, he was practically a revived mummy. This physiology gave him these powers: superhuman strength, superhuman durability, superhuman stamina, self-sustenance, healing, immortality, empathy, and eldritch blast.

Some Special Powers

Due to being an undead, Khalis is immortal by nature. He can survive decapitation, but he needs time to fully recover. His eldritch blast is also interesting, because he can gather his power in his staff and blast this energy. How much he can channel, however, is unknown. As for his empathy power, he can apparently sense the presence of nearby lifeforms. In War of The Monsters, one of the missions that he did in “Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. #1”, he was able to detect the hostages held in a hidden area.

DC Khalis’ Abilities

Related to his healing power, he knows a lot about medical science. How he studied it, however, is unknown. And related to his eldritch blast power, he has a long staff that not only he uses for the blast, he can also use it for fighting. Apparently, Khalis is also good at stick fighting.
