Tyrannical ruler of the gem-themed Purple Dimension, and one of the Lords of the Netherworld. Aggamon enslaves natives of other dimensions to work in his mines.

On the name: David Quinn, the writer of Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme at the time, told Neilalien he made up the name "anomaly rue".
On the symbol: From Ditko Looked Up:
Eisner's artistic influence on Ditko is present in much of Ditko earliest work. The Spirit lived underground in a tomb in a cemetery and had an abstract German expressionist window - a circle with criss-crosses on it to create curved wedges of black - which Ditko adopted not only for Dr. Strange's mansion, but can be seen at various points throughout Ditko 1950s Charlton mystery stories.
