Halloween Countdown: Mort Number Ten

Cain (who is almost always a normal sized person except for in the picture I found of him) is the caretaker of the House of Mystery in the DC universe. The House of Mystery title was one of a myriad of horror anthology tales that were popular in the 60's-80's (think Tales from the Crypt and the like). For his part, Cain never manifested any particular powers other than the ability to be creepy and lame simultaneously. His brother Abel was the keeper of the House of Secrets, the other main horror anthology comic put out by DC at the time. As the names imply, Cain often wished harm upon his brother Abel, and there was an apparent running gag of our Mort killing his brother in every issue of the House of Secrets series. In Comic book speak, that means that Abel had the power of reincarnation, since he constantly came back, but it says nothing about whether Cain was likewise gifted.

Okay, our final entry in the Halloween Countdown looks creepy, although I'm not quite sure he qualifies as a mort. Have a fun and safe holiday, everyone!
