The mysterious Cleric belonged to a race of aliens that visited Krypton approximately two hundred thousand years ago. He preached the teachings of the Divine Deity and was responsible for the genesis of the Clone Rights Movement. Kem-L killed his followers as they left the planet. For thousands of years the Cleric wandered the galaxy acting as guardian of the Eradicator. He was eventually captured by the slavers of Warworld and imprisoned on one of their prison asteroids.

The Cleric remained in his prison until he encountered Kal-El, the last Kryptonian, who was on an extended exile from Earth. The Cleric handed over the Eradicator to Kal-El and then died, his mission done. He was buried on that prison asteroid. A projection of the Cleric from the mind of the now humanoid Eradicator in the Phantom Zone, revealed the true origin of the All and the Eradicator.
