In Iblis' first Dynamite appearance, he returns to unleash his plan to destroy the [[Seraphs]] by creating a [[black hole]] that transports {{alt|The Fleet|TOS}} — and {{alt|Lucifer}}'s pursuing {{alt|basestar|TOS}} — to another realm. Said realm features [[Iblis' planet|a planet]] where his pig-like brethren have been laid to rest after a disastrous end, much like the [[red planet]] [[War of the Gods, Part I|previously encountered]]. On this planet, {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} and other wayward space travelers are shipwrecked after falling through the black hole; Iblis uses the Cylons to his own advantage, creating the [[Meclons]] and bolstering their numbers by hunting down survivors of the shipwrecked vessels and repurposing their bodies {{comics|vol3|1|3}}. | In Iblis' first Dynamite appearance, he returns to unleash his plan to destroy the [[Seraphs]] by creating a [[black hole]] that transports {{alt|The Fleet|TOS}} — and {{alt|Lucifer}}'s pursuing {{alt|basestar|TOS}} — to another realm.

In Iblis' second Dynamite appearance, Iblis enters into a relationship with [[Kali]], the exiled creator of the {{alt|Cylons|TOS|robotic life that assumed her race's name and identity}}. At his bidding, Kali builds a [[wormhole]] between two different ''Battlestar Galactica'' universes (the Original and the Re-imagined) in a bid to exact revenge against {{alt|Adama|TOS}} and his Fleet. Assuming influence over {{alt|Cain|TOS}}, Iblis reunites Cain and ''{{alt|Pegasus|TOS}}'' with the two disparate Fleets in order to undermine the humans' efforts against the Cylons—however this does not go to plan as Cain is able to break Iblis' and Kali's hold over him, and thwarts Iblis' revenge bid {{comics|vs}}. | In Iblis' second Dynamite appearance, Iblis enters into a relationship with [[Kali]], the exiled creator of the {{alt|Cylons|TOS|robotic life that assumed her race's name and identity}}.
