History: (Spectre III #58 (fb, BTS)) - Mawu and the rainbow serpent Oshunmare swirled the void and created form and the Land of Ife'. From Mawu came Olorun, the sun, and from the land the rest of the Yoruba pantheon in Africa.

(Spectre III #58) -Spectre went to the Land of Ife' to ask the Yoruba pantheon where God was, and because he didn't recognize that his authority held little sway in Ife' he started a fight with thunder god Shango. Orunmilla and Olorun broke it up, but did not know of Jehovah, seeing no higher authority than the Yoruba creator Mawu. Spectre said they wasted his time, and left for Olympus
