Infinity-Man is the name of several characters appearing in DC Comics, in the Fourth World storyline. Both are alien heroes associated with the New Gods, with the second, Drax, being Darkseid's brother and an ally of the Forever People.
Infinity-Man appears in Young Justice, where he is depicted as the combined form of the Forever People rather than a separate entity.
Having assumed the title of Infinity-Man, Drax goes on to serve Highfather on New Genesis and becomes an ally of the Forever People. Whenever Infinity-Man is needed, the Forever People summon him by touching their and reciting the word "Taaru". This causes the Forever People to enter a state of limbo which lasts until Infinity-Man returns power to them.
A later storyline focuses on Devilance and his vendetta against the Forever People and Infinity-Man. Devilance tracks down Infinity-Man to an island, where the two engage in a duel that results in the island's destruction. Both Infinity-Man and Devilance are presumed dead, with Infinity-Man later being revealed to have survived. Forever People #11 (August 1972)
In the storyline Death of the New Gods, Infinity-Man is suspected by Superman, Mister Miracle, and Orion to be the mysterious killer behind the recent deaths of the New Gods. It is revealed that Infinity-Man is the killer of the New Gods and posed as Himon to avoid detection. He claims to be acting on behalf of the Source—revealed as the "good" half of an entity that previously encompassed the Source and the Anti-Life Equation—and that his killings were intended to reunite both halves. Infinity-Man is seemingly destroyed by Mister Miracle's attack. Death of the New Gods #7 (May 2008)
