The Octessence are a group of extra-dimensional rivals. The eight often argued and were always competing with each other, and had ordered the execution of the outsider Bentilakk. Bentilakk managed to prove his worth to the Octessence by, inadvertently, revealing that their behavior was being controlled and altered by a member of the council, Watoomb. Watoomb constructed a device to control the Occtessence and plunge the world into chaos for revenge against them. Watoomb was defeated and imprisoned and the device eradicated. The Octessence, seeking to undo all the wrongs they committed under Watoomb’s control, granted Betilakk control of the Nega-Bands they forged that would grant him their power. The Nega-Bands' power draws from the Octessence and represents different abilities granted from the members. Now, when the wearer of the Nega-Bands, and new copies of the Bands that Betilakk forged, triggers them, a blast of dimensional space magic comes forth to change them into superhuman with abilities.
