Blastaar appeared in 1967 Marvel Comics called Fantastic Four.
Blastaar hails from tumultuous depths of the Negative Zone, a realm shrouded in mystery and danger. Born amidst the swirling energies and chaotic landscapes of this dimension, Blastaar emerged as a being of formidable power and ambition. As a young Baluurian, Blastaar exhibited an insatiable hunger for control and dominance. Gifted with immense abilities that surpassed those of his peers, he quickly rose to prominence among his kind. With a cunning mind and a will of iron, Blastaar swiftly ascended to the position of ruler, cementing his authority over the planet Baluur. Under his reign, Baluur became a realm of oppression and fear, as Blastaar wielded his vast powers to subjugate the populace and quash any dissent. His rule was marked by tyranny and cruelty, with the inhabitants of Baluur living in constant dread of his wrath. However, even the most iron-fisted of tyrants cannot suppress the spirit of rebellion forever. The oppressed denizens of Baluur eventually rose up against Blastaar's oppressive regime, spurred on by a longing for freedom and justice. In a daring act of defiance, they overthrew their tyrannical ruler and planned to cast him in space on a journey to destruction.
Blastaar was imprisoned in a special containment suit when it vetured near Mister Fantastic, who was transported into the Negative Zone. During the Sandman's attack on the Baxter Building, he revealed a new ability of his costume, creating a poisonous gas. To save their lives, Reed opened a portal to the Negative Zone, but he got sucked in just before it closed, risking his life at the convergence point of positive and anti-matter. The containment suit was placed on an asteroid headed for destruction. Unaware of the danger, Reed observed as the aliens departed. Triton travelled to the Negative Zone and rescued Reed, and brought him back. However, the containment suit exploded, releasing Blastaar. Unbeknownst to them, Blastaar has followed, teaming up with Sandman to plot the destruction of the Fantastic Four and world domination. The Fantastic Four are ambushed by Blastaar and Sandman and Triton joined the fight but was incapacitated by Sandman. The battle spilled onto the streets, attracting police attention. Sandman questioned his allegiance to Blastaar's power-hungry ways. The Thing subdued Sandman at the docks, while Reed and Sue devise a plan to stop Blastaar. Ultimately, Reed's invention neutralized Blastaar, sending him home.
