The Fallen One was created by Keith Giffen. The character first appeared in issues 11 and 12 of Thanos, published in 2004. He returned in Annihilation: Silver Surfer #1-4 in 2006.
Fallen One was the first Herald of the cosmic entity Galactus and is empowered by dark energy, but he is imprisoned by Galactus for his cruelty. The Fallen One escapes and repeatedly attacks Galactus. Star-Lord imprisons the Fallen One in the Kyln, an intergalactic prison. He escapes to attack Galactus again, but is mentally enslaved by Thanos. Fallen One is killed by the Proemial Gods Tenebrous and Aegis.
The Fallen One, unlike later Heralds, is granted control of black matter, the "binding halo by which galaxies are made solvent". The character can use this matter to augment strength and durability, project energy, create black holes and pocket dimensions, manipulate time and space, control the electromagnetic spectrum, and transmute matter. The Fallen One is capable of travelling faster than the speed of light and is immune to the rigors of space.
Arnold "Arnie" Lundberg is a mutant who was born with the right-hand side of his face hideously scarred. Children in his local town mocked and ridiculed him, as did many others. The result of this was a beating that left him badly hurt and comatose. As he lay comatose, he heard the recorded voice of U-Go Girl (Edie Sawyer), recorded for publicity reasons, which stirred him out of his inert state. He soon revived completely.
Arnie Lundberg claimed to be the biggest X-Force fan in the world, especially of U-Go Girl. He blamed the Orphan for killing his favorite member. It was eventually revealed that he was a mutant and was using his powers to control a small town in Minnesota. He was also psychically sending images of U-Go Girl into the Orphan's mind in hope that Guy would attack him. Preparing for the attack, he unleashed an army of the dead to attack Solomon O'Sullivan's super team, O-Force. The Orphan arrived and saved the team and confronted Arnie who sent him flying out a window and into the undead army. Guy was saved by X-Statix and Guy convinced Arnie to turn his powers to healing the mess he has called. First sending him to Charles Xavier after having presented him as deceased to the public, the Orphan then instead nominated Arnie for X-Statix membership so that they could keep an eye on him.
