History
Zonuz was the last Old God, original wielder of the Torment Sanction and the first God of Evil who adopted the name Yuga Khan.[1] He also wielded the Anti-Life at one point in his life.
Reanimating the Old Gods his son murdered, Yuga Khan was decided to eliminate the New Gods so the Old Gods never die, but his children joined against him and was ultimately slain by the resentful, power-hungry Uxas while he was about to kill Izaya, his first-born son and Uxas' older brother.[2]
His soul departed to The Source, were he furiously remained entombed until his executioner perished at the hand of the Anti-God, disrupting the bond between the Earth's mightiest mortal and his Godly powers. Desperate, The Wizard summoned New Gods to replace the old ones, inadvertently releasing Yuga Khan from his divine prison.
He sought the Lightning Rod from the old Wizard in order to channel the Shazam's power into his own and ravage all creation, but was faced and ultimately stopped by the real God of Gods, thwarting his schemes and once again imprisoning for an eternity, this time under The Wizard's whim to forever serve as nothing more than a power source for the champion of magic.[1]
