What is "amatsu-mikaboshi"

In Japanese mythology, Ama-tsu-Mikaboshi (ja:天津甕星, "August Star of Heaven"), also called Ame-no-Kagaseo (ja:天香香背男, "Brilliant Male"), and later Ama-no-Minaka-nushi ("Divine Lord of the middle heavens") was originally a Shinto god of the Pole Star and the primordial chaos. Under Chinese Buddhist influence, the god was identified with "Myo-Ken" (Sudarshana), as either Venus or the pole star, before being combined with the god of all stars, Ama-no-Minaka-Nushi.

He is mentioned in passing in the Nihon Shoki as an opponent of Takemikazuchi-no-kami during the latter's conquest of the land of Izumo, and is sometimes identified with the figure of Takeminakata in the Kojiki.

Amatsu-Mikaboshi is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is usually depicted as a supervillain and demonic god of evil who is best known as an enemy of Hercules and Thor. He is based on the Mikaboshi of Japanese mythology and the gods of Japan known as Kami.
