** Vol. 1:
*** Issues #1-6--"Silent Cathedrals" arc: [[MadScientist Dr. Sugarman]], David Kim's [[StarterVillain very first foe]], is the madman responsible for turning Kim into Xombi in the first place. A former surgeon already responsible for several horrible experiments, among them transforming [[WouldHurtAChild children]] into pained abominations who lived for days on end before perishing, Sugarman forsakes science for the occult to further his [[ImmortalityImmorality pursuit of immortality]]. Learning of nanites invented by Dr. Kim which repair tissue at superhuman rates, Sugarman unleashes the Rustling Husks into the Organitek building to massacre whomever gets in their way and steal the nanites. Sugarman's ultimate plan, after stealing the nanites, is to unleash a titanic abomination called the Lord of Fumes to [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroy the entire planet and leave it a lifeless, polluted husk]].
*** Issues #7-11--"School of Anguish" arc: [[KnightTemplar Leland Crowne]] is a [[DarkMessiah cult leader]] intent on destroying the masks worn in everyday life and [[BeneathTheMask force out the private sides of every living human being]]. In practice, this amounts to deranged cult killings and kidnappings; a slew of people are kidnapped and made into the embodiments of negative emotions, resulting in them, including a pregnant woman's [[WouldHurtAChild children]], turned into [[BodyHorror abstract abominations]]. Crowne turns Xombi himself into one of these, has him butcher his own friends, and tries to use an angel named Israfel--which, used incorrectly, would kill millions--and is so fanatically devoted to his idea of "truth" he ignores Israfel incinerating all of his own followers.
** Vol. 2 [[note]]takes place in the DC Universe proper[[/note]]: [[FauxAffablyEvil Roland Finch]] is a consummate user-and-abuser who, tired of the various enemies he's made in a life of screwing people over, decided to conquer a floating kingdom known as a Stronghold [[ForTheEvulz to sate his boredom]]. Finch seduced a woman named Annie Palmer to gain access to the Stronghold, then killed the twin rulers of the city and drove the population into slaughtering each other before casting Annie aside to live alone. Years later, Finch [[ManipulativeBastard continues to play]] on Annie's desire to go home, instigating a slaughter at a fantastic prison through her and intending ultimately to dispose of her. Finch intends ultimately to wipe out the twenty other floating Strongholds, [[CardCarryingVillain all too happy]] to murder countless thousands to enjoy his kingdom [[ItsAllAboutMe alone]].
