Doomlord also seemed invulnerable to harm.

Harvey futilely attempted to stop Doomlord, but was unable to convince anyone else of the alien's existence. In this way, he could move freely amongst human society, leaving only a trail of missing persons as he abandoned each identity for a new one. He would then disintegrate their corpse with his energiser ring, and then use another alien ability – to shapeshift his form to resemble his absorbed victim, and thus impersonate them flawlessly. Over the next few issues, Harvey pieced together what was happening – Doomlord had the power to murder people, and absorb their memories and personality by touch. 'Bob' arranged a meeting with a local Member of Parliament and then disappeared. At the local police station, he discovered Bob alive, laughing at his friend's 'dream' – however, Bob was wearing the alien's 'energiser ring'. He then knocked Harvey unconscious, who awoke to find himself alone. He described himself as 'Doomlord – servant of Nox, master of life, bringer of death!' Doomlord then killed Bob by seemingly merely grasping the policeman's head in his hands. The meteor was in fact a spaceship bringing a sinister robed alien to Earth. The story tells of how journalist Howard Harvey and a policeman friend, Bob Murton, witnessed an apparent meteor falling into local woods. Like many of the strips then published in Eagle, it was made up of black-and-white photographs featuring models and actors, with text boxes and speech and thought balloons. The strip originally appeared as a 13-part story in the first 13 issues of the re-launched Eagle, and was science horror in tone. A replacement Doomlord ruled in favour of Earth and eventually became its protector, fathering a son the strip evolved into superheroics. It was a saga beginning with an alien judging humanity's right to exist, and failing in his attempt to execute humanity. Initially an attempt in publishing science fiction horror in fumetti form (photo strip), Doomlord was later drawn by Heinzl (1983–1984) and Eric Bradbury (1984–1989).

It was written by Alan Grant and John Wagner. Reprints of previous Doomlord stories continued until 7 April 1990.
