Die Faust Der Kain , or The Fist of Cain, is an esoteric death cult faced by Spyral.
History
Origins
The Fist of Cain based around the Depopulationist teachings of philosopher Christian Fleischer. He was visited by a spirit and created a philosophy, a religion around it. Members base their murders around a esoteric point system in order to gain influence within the Organization. Their inherently competitive organizational schema means that a groups of members will work at cross purposes to accomplish their goals rather than acting collectively as a force.[1]
Attack at Tele-Aviv
Being one of the various organizations involved in the Paragon Arm Race to collect the organs of the Paragon Protocol, the Fist of Cain steal Paragon's brain and attempt to unleash a psychic attack at Tele-Aviv upon it's inhabitants to make them senselessly kill one another. With the intervention of Agent 37, Helena Bertinelli, and Midnighter, they're foiled and the brain ends up in Spyral's custody. Their leader, Christain Fliescher, is killed by then-Director Mister Minos during the end via gunshot to the head.[2]
Targeting Superman
With Superman's identity outed to the world by Lois Lane, the Fist of Cain target the Kryptonian whom was slowly losing his powers for unexplained reasons due to the rarity of killing a powerful alien like Superman. Along with targeting Superman they find themselves against Spyral Agent 37. With the use of "Super Juice" and their new member Blockbuster, they give both the Spyral agent and Kryptonian a hard time. However, they're defeated when their efforts are assisted by Lex Luthor and the members present are taken into custody by Batman and GCPD.[3]
Paragon Arm Race
One group raided an island to steal Paragon Brain, a product of the God Garden.[1]
The band Sin By Silence attempted to use the Paragon Brain, to drive the attendants at a peace conference in Tel Aviv into a homicidal frenzy. This was stopped by members of Spyral, Christian Fleischer was also in attendance and was shot.[2]
