[edit]Quarmer is a spirit from another dimension who is transported to the main universe following a nuclear meltdown that generates a portal. It generates a sand body based on Superman, forms a mental link with him, and gradually drains his power to become more humanoid. However, Quarmer eventually realizes that it cannot replace Superman and agrees to return to Quarrm.
