Along with [[Steelheart (Epic)|Steelheart]] and [[Night's Sorrow]], he is among the most feared and powerful of Epics,{{book ref|Steelheart|12}}{{wob ref|2386}} but unlike Steelheart, he is currently not a tyrant. He is, however, a ruthless killer, who has made it his mission to kill ''everyone'' because he believes that all humans are corrupt and have the seed of the Epic inside of them.{{book ref|Firefight|21}} Five years after the rise of [[Calamity (Epic)|Calamity]], he conquered his fear and was thus able to free himself of his corruption,{{book ref|Calamity|epilogue}} though this did not influence his morals - he remained a ruthless destroyer. While he did rule Houston at one point, he ultimately decided to melt the entire city, killing the entire town's population in the process.{{book ref|Firefight|12}}

 

 

Obliteration has a narrow face with a goatee and long, straight black hair{{book ref|Firefight|12}} that falls past his shoulders.{{book ref|Calamity|26}} He usually wears spectacles and a trench coat, and his weapon of choice is a sword.{{book ref|Firefight|12}}

 

Obliteration is described as an indiscriminant killer and "creepy"{{book ref|Calamity|27}}{{wob ref|1338}}, but also rather clever.{{book ref|Firefight|12}} Obliteration constantly makes biblical references, going as far to believe he is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, given divine power by the "archangel" Calamity to end humanity and its corruption.{{book ref|Firefight|48}} [[Regalia]] claims that Obliteration never got over the initial phase of destruction that all Epics have.{{book ref|Firefight|41}}

== History ==

 

 

Obliteration ruled in Houston for some time before deciding to destroy the entire city. Obliteration had sat in the middle of a city square{{book ref|Firefight|24}} of Houston, storing up heat from the sun. After a few weeks, Obliteration released all the power, melting the entire city, killing tens of thousands in moments.{{book ref|Firefight|12}}

Obliteration had also destroyed Albuquerque and San Diego in the same way.{{book ref|Firefight|26}} However, these weren't as destructive as Houston, because people realized what Obliteration was doing, and ran away before Obliteration had finished.{{book ref|Calamity|12}}

 

 

 

Obliteration fights the Reckoners from time to time in Babilar. He almost succeeds in drowning David by attaching a ball and chain to his leg and dropping him into the water.{{book ref|Firefight|13}} Later, David found that Obliteration is also working with Newton. Obliteration knew Newton's weakness, and kept her in check.{{book ref|Firefight|21}}

 

Obliteration started to store up sunlight in Babilar on a rooftop.{{book ref|Firefight|29}} During the next few days, [[Prof]] decided he would stop Obliteration from destroying city by encasing him in a forcefield.{{book ref|Firefight|39}} However, on the day of their attack, [[Mizzy]] discovered that Obliteration was gone from his spot on the rooftop. [[Valentine|Val]] spotted a glowing coming from Regalia's old base, Building C.{{book ref|Firefight|47}} The Reckoners rushed to stop Obliteration, but the glowing coming from Building C was not Obliteration,{{book ref|Firefight|48}} but instead was the bomb that Regalia made from Obliteration.{{book ref|Firefight|49}} Obliteration fought David during this time, to prevent him from reaching Prof.{{book ref|Firefight|48}} However, when David revealed the secret of how the weaknesses relate to the fears of Epics, Obliteration thanked him and left.{{book ref|Firefight|49}} Obliteration's bomb exploded, forcing Prof to use his powers and save the city.{{book ref|Firefight|49}} However, this caused Prof to turn evil.{{book ref|Firefight|50}}

 

 

Obliteration used one more of the bombs that Regalia gave him to destroy Kansas City. He used the bomb instead of collecting heat himself because it is stealthier, and more people would be destroyed in the process.{{book ref|Calamity|12}}

 

Obliteration showed up at Prof's party in [[Sharp Tower]], because Prof has a "calling card."{{book ref|Calamity|27}} This calling card was a motivator based off of Obliteration's powers. Both David and Obliteration assumed it was a bomb.{{book ref|Calamity|27}} However, it was actually a teleporter.{{book ref|Calamity|34}} Obliteration sat on a salt throne, and rested his hand on the hilt of his sword like a scepter.{{book ref|Calamity|26}} Even though David and [[Megan Tarash|Megan]] were both in disguises, Obliteration recognized them anyways, claiming they had the same eyes, and that David had the same hunger in them. However, David did not buy this explanation, and instead assumed Obliteration has an extra power.{{book ref|Calamity|27}} Obliteration teleported away and returns with a coconut of all things, continuing to recline on his throne as if nothing had happened. Even though David and Megan changed disguises, Obliteration still spotted them.{{book ref|Calamity|27}}

 

When David traveled to the alternate reality that Firefight resides in, he noted that Obliteration was there as well, fighting the Reckoners.{{book ref|Calamity|33}} He had the same goals in this alternate reality as in the "real" world, even though there was no Calamity in the sky.{{book ref|Calamity|33}}{{book ref|Calamity|49}}

 

Obliteration showed up when the Reckoners are fighting Prof in Ildithia, and revealed that Regalia had actually given him three bombs: the one used in Babilar{{book ref|Firefight|49}}, the one used to destroy Kansas City{{book ref|Calamity|12}}, and one that was meant to be used for [[Ildithia]].{{book ref|Calamity|47}} He was then about to kill David, along with the rest of Ildithia, when David revealed that he is going to kill Calamity, by teleporting up there. Obliteration claimed that if David could defeat Prof, he would aid David in teleporting up to Calamity.{{book ref|Calamity|44}} After [[Larcener]] absorbed Prof's powers, Obliteration fulfilled his promise and teleported David up to Calamity, using a picture of Calamity as a reference of where to teleport.{{book ref|Calamity|46}} Obliteration also gave David his last bomb to destroy Calamity.{{book ref|Calamity|47}}
