In the ancient past, Prysmos was a planet where magic ruled over science and reason. But time passed, and as the Prysmosian people developed it became an increasingly technological civilization, with the previous Age of Magic all but forgotten. The only known survivor of this arcane age, a wizard named Merklynn, sought to recreate this lost age and did so by casting a spell that aligned the planet's three suns, creating a pulse that deactivated all technology on his world. With technology gone, Merklynn revealed himself, granting powerful magical artifacts to the Darkling Lords and Spectral Knights as his new champions.

Merklynn was hasty in the construction of his spell, however, and when the suns slowly moved out of alignment, the tidal forces they unleashed ripped Prysmos apart, annihilating the entire world and most of its civilization. The handful of survivors fled into space, Schismatic and Merklynn, hoping to undo his mistake by finding a new world to colonize, found his way to Earth in the years leading up to World War II, where he disguised himself as "Garrison Kreiger."

In 2017, "Kreiger" joined Baron Ironblood's Iron Ring; hoping to use the alien Talisman on the core of Cybertron in the hopes of terraforming the mechanical planet into a copy of his old homeworld. His plan was only partially successful, changing only a small portion of the planet into the city of "New Prysmos," First Strike #6 which soon became inhabited by the few Prysmosian refugees that had survived the devastation of their world.
