Hombre de ángulo
The Angle Man fue un criminal fracasado que se obsesionó con crímenes con "ángulos" inmejorables. Plagó a Wonder Woman con una serie de esquemas cada vez más inteligentes que involucraban "ángulos".
The Angle Man fue creado por Robert Kanigher y Harry G. Peter y apareció por primera vez en Wonder Woman # 70 (noviembre de 1954).
Reapareció, ahora vestido con un traje amarillo y verde y empuñando el pescador, un triángulo de Penrose que podía deformar el tiempo y el espacio de diversas formas. Una página de texto en ese número explicaba que había sido reclutado y equipado por el fundador de la Sociedad Secreta de Supervillanos , Darkseid, solo para usar al Pescador para avanzar en el tiempo hasta un punto después de que Darkseid hubiera sido expuesto y depuesto como el líder secreto de la Sociedad. . [1] También comenzó a aparecer en el título de Wonder Woman una vez más. En un momento dado, pelea con la amiga de Wonder Woman, Etta Candy . [2]
Este Angle Man murió en 1985 en la maxiserie de 12 números Crisis on Infinite Earths , [3] aparentemente como resultado de intentar usar su Angler durante los trastornos dimensionales masivos causados por ese evento.
Después de los eventos de Crisis en Tierras Infinitas , toda la historia del Universo DC se borró y se reinició nuevamente con los mismos personajes familiares, pero con antecedentes e historias completamente nuevas. En el caso de Angle Man, un Angle Man sin disfraz, que aún vivía, apareció inicialmente brevemente en la serie de cómics de Flash como uno de varios villanos cuyo equipo fue apropiado por el Replicante que absorbía armas. [4]
Más tarde, durante la carrera de Phil Jiménez en el título de Wonder Woman , fue renovado en Angelo Bend , un maestro ladrón italiano a sueldo que usa su pescador especial para escapar de las autoridades. [5] Fue capturado por Donna Troy mientras intentaba robar un artefacto antiguo de un museo. A pesar de que Donna, como Troia, estaba tratando de detener al villano, Angle Man se enamoró un poco del Amazonas . Se enamoró tanto de ella que instintivamente se transportó a Themyscira , buscando la ayuda de Donna cuando fue salvajemente atacado por Barbara Ann Minerva, poseída por Fury . Más tarde se supo que había sido contratado por Bárbara, la anterior guepardo, quien había perdido sus poderes ante Sebastián Ballesteros y necesitaba los artefactos robados para recuperarlos. También se lo vio afligido en el funeral de Donna Troy después de que un robot de Superman la mató brevemente . [6]
La próxima vez que se le mostró fue entre un gran equipo de supervillanos formado por la villana de Wonder Woman, Devastation . [7] Un enemigo de Cassie Sandsmark , Devastation formó el grupo para luchar contra la ahora disuelta Justicia Joven .
El ladrón sofisticado reimaginado por Jiménez fue posteriormente escrito como una personalidad completamente diferente, mucho más mortífera y obsesiva.
Bend apareció durante la historia de Infinite Crisis como miembro de la Sociedad Secreta de Supervillanos que operaban en el East End de Gotham City . Catwoman se infiltró en el equipo, fingiendo ser una villana nuevamente para acercarse a la Sociedad. Bend la descubrió discutiendo su plan para traicionar a la Sociedad y la atacó, disparándole en el estómago y apuñalándola en la cabeza con una hoja en forma de triángulo. Sin embargo, la Catwoman que el Hombre Ángulo "mató" era, de hecho, una nueva Clayface a la que Catwoman se había encontrado recientemente y había pedido ayuda. La verdadera Catwoman apareció y, durante su ataque a los villanos, golpeó salvajemente a Bend con un bate de béisbol. [8]
Un año después , Selina Kyle ha renunciado a su identidad de Catwoman después de tener un hijo. Su socia y amiga Holly Robinson se ha hecho cargo de la identidad de Catwoman. Bend, ahora obsesionado con Catwoman y empeñado en vengarse, ha apuntado a Holly, sin darse cuenta de que está persiguiendo a la persona equivocada. Desde entonces, Holly lo derrotó una vez (la brutal pelea fue grabada en una cinta), pero un nuevo villano que se hace llamar Film Freak , aparentemente sucesor del fallecido villano de Batman del mismo nombre. Cuando Film Freak deduce la identidad secreta de Selina, los dos villanos lanzan un ataque a su apartamento. A raíz de esto, incluso amenaza con matar al bebé de Selina y revelar su identidad secreta a otros supervillanos. Sin embargo, estos planes se frustran cuando Selina llama a Zatanna , quien realiza otra limpieza mental de los dos hombres. Esto da como resultado que Angle Man confiesa por la fuerza sus crímenes a la policía de Gotham después de recordar sus días más gloriosos como supervillano. [9]
Angelo aparece a continuación como un aliado de Circe que ha reunido un gran equipo de villanos para atacar a Wonder Woman. [10] Le informa a Diana que Circe ha amplificado sus poderes y usa su pescador para replicarse como una herramienta de apuñalamiento de proyectiles. Él y sus compañeros de equipo están a punto de someter a Wonder Woman cuando es rescatada por un gran grupo de aliados de Amazon. Robin deja inconsciente al Hombre Ángulo en un combate cuerpo a cuerpo y luego es arrestado bajo la autoridad del Departamento de Asuntos Metahumanos. Después de que se haya procesado el encarcelamiento de Angle Man, sus pescadores son capturados por Némesis y confiscados por el gobierno.
Durante The New 52 , Angle Man se ve por primera vez en un bar presenciando la noticia de la pareja romántica de Superman y Wonder Woman. [11] También participó en una reunión de varios supervillanos durante la historia de Forever Evil . [12] Más recientemente, se reveló que Angle Man era el hijo de Vandal Savage . Después de un complot fallido contra Superman y Wonder Woman, Angle Man fue encarcelado y luego asesinado por su padre por insubordinación. [13]
Después de los eventos de DC Rebirth , Wonder Woman mencionó a Angle Man mientras hablaba de luchar contra un nuevo enemigo llamado Anglette, que también empuñaba el arma Angler. [14] The Angle Man más tarde resurgió en Zandia, un paraíso político para supervillanos disfrazados. [15]

Azul cobalto
Malcolm Thawne es un supervillano del Universo DC .
Malcolm Thawne era el hermano gemelo de Barry Allen. El médico que dio a luz a los gemelos ya había matado accidentalmente a un niño separado que pertenecía a Charlene Thawne. Para encubrir el error, sacó al primer bebé del útero de Nora y le dio a Malcolm el primogénito de los Thawne y les dijo a los Allen que uno de los gemelos había nacido muerto, pero que más tarde el gemelo que nació más tarde se convertiría en el segundo Flash. . [30]
Los "padres" de Malcolm eran estafadores, hacían pasar un ungüento curativo que en realidad se usaba para cubrir las superhabilidades naturales de los Thawne. Debido a su apariencia y comportamiento limpios, Malcolm fue utilizado con mayor frecuencia para atraer a las víctimas desprevenidas. Cuando era adulto, estaba en Central City y se topó con su hermano gemelo, Barry Allen, por casualidad. Curioso por qué había otro hombre con su rostro, exigió la verdad a sus padres. Admitieron todo, habiendo sido conscientes del cambio infantil desde el principio. Malcolm se negó a creer que sus padres pudieran ser tan despiadados y localizó al médico que lo había dado a luz. El médico confirmó la historia de los Thawne y, enfurecido, Malcolm asesinó al médico. [30]
La matriarca de la familia Thawne, la abuela de Malcolm, que también poseía la capacidad de controlar la "llama azul" (que se reveló como una habilidad mística transmitida a través de la familia Thawne) estaba disgustada por el patético uso que hizo su hijo del don personas. Malcolm, por otro lado, poseía la pasión necesaria para hacer pleno uso de la habilidad. Su abuela lo entrenó en el secreto de la llama. Impulsado por la rabia y los celos de Malcolm hacia su gemelo por "robarle la vida", Malcolm fabricó una gema azul para contener la llama, que era capaz de robar la supervelocidad de Barry Allen. [30] [31]
Su primer intento terminó en un fracaso, [32] y Malcolm fue absorbido por la gema, solo para resurgir años después. Para entonces, Wally West había asumido el manto de Flash. La muerte de Barry durante la Crisis en Tierras Infinitas pareció haber engañado a Malcolm en sus sueños de venganza contra su hermano. En cambio, Malcolm se centró en los descendientes de Allen que viajaban a través del tiempo en un intento por exterminarlos, comenzando con Wally West. Bajo la identidad de Cobalt Blue, Malcolm encendió una disputa familiar que duró un milenio.
La disputa llegó a un punto crítico a finales del siglo 30, cuando Barry Allen vivía con su esposa Iris . Wally West llegó para tratar de proteger a su tío. Los Destellos de todas las épocas entre los siglos XX y XXX llegaron poco después, todos bajo el control del espíritu de Thawne porque todos llevaban un fragmento de la gema azul cobalto original. [33] Después de derrotar a todos los otros Flashes, [34] al final, Wally West terminó con la amenaza de Cobalt Blue corriendo tan rápido que esquivó el borde de Speed Force . Su poder se vertió en la gema y el espíritu de Thawne (y la gema en sí) se sobrecargó por el exceso de energía. [35]
A pesar de que se supone que habrá muchos Cobalt Blues entre ahora y el siglo 30, ni Malcolm ni Cobalt Blue han aparecido desde el arco de "Chain Lightning". Se desconoce si estas líneas de tiempo existen después de los eventos de Infinite Crisis .
Muchos otros en el futuro se han convertido en Cobalt Blue, como la versión del siglo XXI que fue derrotada por Jay Garrick e Iris West II que viajaban en el tiempo . [36]

Dan the Dyna-Mite es un superhéroe adolescente publicado por DC Comics , un joven compañero del personaje TNT , y fue creado por Mort Weisinger y Hal Sharp en 1942. Ambos debutaron en Star Spangled Comics # 7 y protagonizaron hasta el # 23. [76] [77]
Danny Dunbar fue el alumno estrella de Thomas N. Thomas, profesor de química y educación física de secundaria. [78]
Una noche, mientras Thomas y Dunbar están trabajando en un experimento, la mano de Thomas toca accidentalmente la de Dunbar y tanto el maestro como el alumno se sienten con más energía. Thomas se da cuenta de que cada uno de ellos ha absorbido de alguna manera los productos químicos con los que han estado trabajando. Al tocarse, ambos se cargaron con una forma desconocida de energía y poseyeron brevemente poderes sobrehumanos. [79]
Deciden no revelar públicamente su descubrimiento por temor a que se haga un mal uso. En cambio, usan sus nuevos superpoderes para luchar contra el crimen como héroes disfrazados. Thomas se convierte en TNT y Dunbar como Dan the Dyna-Mite, y ambos se unen al Escuadrón All-Star en tiempos de guerra . [80] Thomas y Dunbar llevan cada uno un "anillo dinámico". Al presionar los anillos juntos, desencadenan una reacción química que carga temporalmente a los dos héroes con energía.
En abril de 1942, TNT y Dyna-Mite luchan contra los saboteadores nazis que intentan volar una presa en Colorado. Cuando los saboteadores huyen en un automóvil, la pareja los persigue en su propio automóvil. Una de las balas golpea el neumático del coche de los héroes y se estrella y estalla en llamas. El joven héroe Iron Munro saca a TNT y Dyna-Mite de los escombros. TNT ya está muerto y su espíritu es llevado por la Valkyrie llamada Gudra (miembro de Axis Amerika ). Munro lleva a Dyna-Mite al hospital, donde pronto se recupera. [81]
Danny está desconsolado, pero se anima cuando el presidente Roosevelt solicita que él y otros miembros jóvenes del Escuadrón All-Star realicen una gira por el país para fomentar la compra de bonos de guerra. [82] Su depresión se ve agravada por la suposición de que sin TNT, ya no puede usar sus propios superpoderes. Danny pronto descubre que puede activarlos usando ambos anillos dinámicos y presionándolos juntos. [83]
En sus "años dorados", Dan se une a sus amigos de la infancia Neptune Perkins , Doiby Dickles , Merry Pemberton y los Cyclone Kids (ahora llamados Cyclones) para formar "Old Justice". Todos fueron compinches de superhéroes mayores. Abogan por la abolición de los superequipos de adolescentes y se enfrentan a Young Justice muchas veces. En el transcurso de la historia de Sins of Youth , se produce una manifestación en DC sobre este tema. Es atacado y decenas de superhéroes se vuelven jóvenes y los miembros de Young Justice se vuelven adultos. Old Justice, que no se ve afectado, se ve obligado a supervisar a la caótica multitud de héroes más jóvenes con la ayuda del ahora adulto Young Justice. Trabajando temporalmente en el cuartel general de JLA en Happy Harbour , todos deben lidiar con Klarion the Witch Boy , otros supervillanos más jóvenes y docenas de monstruos creados mágicamente. Todo se reduce a cada mano disponible en una feroz batalla en los campos de nieve fuera de un complejo científico de Alaska. Al final de la aventura, una vez que Klarion es chantajeado para restaurar a los héroes alterados, Old Justice se da cuenta de que Young Justice son héroes realmente dignos. [84]
En DCU: Legacies # 2 (publicado en 2010), se revela que TNT y Dyna-Mite han sido miembros fundadores de los Siete Soldados de la Victoria . [85] Aún no se ha revelado cómo este retcon afecta sus historias, como la muerte previamente establecida de TNT y la temporada de Young All-Stars de Dyna-Mite.
Durante la historia de " Dark Nights: Death Metal ", Dan the Dyna-Mite se encuentra entre los superhéroes revividos por Batman usando un anillo Black Lantern. [86]
Poderes y habilidades
Al igual que su mentor, poseía un anillo que controlaba sus poderes, liberándolos solo cuando los dos anillos entraban en contacto. Originalmente usaba solo uno de los anillos, lo que le dio mayor fuerza, velocidad y resistencia a las lesiones y la generación de energía. Después de la muerte de su mentor, descubrió que podía usar ambos anillos y liberar el poder presionando ambos anillos juntos él mismo.
Recepción
American Comic Book Chronicles dice que la serie de TNT y Dan the Dyna-Mite "tenía potencial, pero constantemente se quedaba sin espacio, el espacio limitado y la escritura poco imaginativa eran sus principales problemas".
Dyno-Mite Dan
Las falsificaciones funcionales de los anillos fueron luego compradas en línea por un aspirante a superhéroe que se hacía llamar Dyno-Mite Dan (Harris D. Ledbetter). Apareció sólo una vez, después de unirse a los nuevos Siete Soldados de la Victoria de corta duración del Vigilante . [87]
Otras versiones
En la miniserie de Elseworlds The Golden Age ny James Robinson y Paul Smith , TNT muere en un aparente incidente y Daniel Dunbar se deprime. Se ofrece como voluntario para un experimento del gobierno (arrojando una bomba atómica sobre él) que se transforma en el poderoso Dynaman, que posee una gran fuerza sobrehumana, durabilidad y el poder de volar. Más tarde se supo que Ultra-Humanite eliminó el cerebro de Dunbar y lo reemplazó con el de Adolf Hitler . Los miembros de la Sociedad de la Justicia y el Escuadrón All-Star se unen para derrotar a Dynaman en una batalla colosal en Washington, DC .

Debutando en Green Arrow y Black Canary # 7 (junio de 2008), Dodger es un ladrón que comercia con mercadería de alta gama. Operando desde Londres, Inglaterra, Dodger robará y / o venderá cualquier cosa, desde información hasta tecnología avanzada.
En un momento llegó a poseer lo que parecía ser una nave espacial extraterrestre. Reconociendo que las capacidades de sigilo del vehículo lo convertían en un bien lucrativo, comenzó a arrendar el barco a varias figuras del inframundo, incluida la Liga de Asesinos . Cuando la embarcación en cuestión se relacionó con un intento de asesinato contra Connor Hawke , Green Arrow y Black Canary comenzaron a investigar su actividad. El rastro los llevó a Londres, donde ellos (junto con Mia "Speedy" Dearden ) entablaron un combate con Dodger en un pub local. Aunque Dodger demostró ser un combatiente físico capacitado, el "Team Arrow" lo sometió y les contó sobre la Liga de Asesinos.
Cuando se le presionó para obtener más información, Dodger no estaba dispuesto a cooperar, por lo que Green Arrow y Black Canary lo dejaron caer del vientre de un avión de carga suspendido por una cuerda elástica hasta que accedió a darles una mejor inteligencia. Los llevó a su guarida secreta y trianguló la última ubicación de la nave furtiva que había alquilado.
Green Arrow y Black Canary luego lo persuadieron de que los acompañara en la búsqueda, que los llevó a un castillo en Leichestershire, Inglaterra. Evadieron varias trampas y finalmente descubrieron un tubo criogénico que contenía la forma comprimida del ex Justice Leaguer Plastic Man .

Intentando encontrar a Kismet para robar sus poderes cósmicos, Superman se opuso a él. Jurando venganza, Dominus entró telepáticamente en la mente de Superman y se aprovechó de una de las mayores debilidades del Hombre de Acero; su miedo a fallarle a la gente de la Tierra.
Utilizando el control mental , Dominus convenció a Superman para que tomara el control de la Tierra y construyera los robots Superman para vigilar el planeta las 24 horas del día, los siete días de la semana para siempre. En otra batalla, Dominus usó sus poderes de deformación de la realidad para convertirse en Superman, usando los robots de Superman para buscar a Kismet mientras Superman estaba disfrazado como uno de sus propios robots y más tarde como Dominus.
Durante su cautiverio en estas otras formas, Superman mejoró su uso de Torquasm Vo , una antigua técnica de disciplina guerrera kryptoniana en la que el guerrero puede controlar lo que piensa. Superman y Dominus luego se involucraron en una batalla mental-física con Dominus usando cualquier pensamiento perdido de Superman para remodelar la realidad. La batalla termina con Superman desterrando a Dominus a la Zona Fantasma.
Poderes y habilidades de Dominus
Dominus usa su "Control continuo" para alterar la realidad y su "Control" para que la gente no se dé cuenta de que ocurrió el cambio. De hecho, puede crear más de una realidad simultánea, cada una atacando los atributos mentales de un personaje específico. Las realidades de Dominus también se inspiraron en otras épocas de la historia editorial de Superman (las décadas de 1940, 1960 y 1970) y la historia de "El Superman de 2965-2966" que involucra a Muto. [98] [99]
Dominus detrás de escena
En un especial del Tesoro de DC de 1981 llamado Superman y su Fortaleza de la Soledad , Lex Luthor , antes de la crisis, se hizo pasar por un alienígena con armadura roja llamado Dominus como parte de un elaborado ardid destinado a destruir al Hombre de Acero.

Carl Draper
Carl Draper es un personaje ficticio de DC Comics , enemigo de Superman . Ha recibido los nombres de Master Carcelero , Kator , Deathtrap , Cerrajero y Castellano . [100] Draper hizo su primera aparición en Superman # 331 (enero de 1979), escrito por Martin Pasko y dibujado por Curt Swan y Frank Chiaramonte . [101]
En los cómics anteriores a la crisis , Carl "Moosie" Draper creció en Smallville (ver Kator a continuación). Draper era un adolescente torpe con sobrepeso a quien la mayoría de los otros niños nunca notaron o de quien se burlaron y estaba enamorado de Lana Lang , quien solo tenía ojos para Superboy , para gran resentimiento de Draper. [102] Como adulto, Draper se sometió a un régimen de superación personal autoimpuesto, que incluía ejercicio y cirugía estética, para superar sus deficiencias físicas. Se convirtió en un experto cerrajero y arquitecto, diseñando una prisión ineludible para supervillanos llamada "Monte Olimpo". Impresionado por el logro, Superman aumentó la seguridad de la prisión colocándola en una plataforma antigravedad. Inicialmente apodada "Isla de Draper" por Superman, fue rebautizada informalmente como "Isla de Superman" por la adulta Lana, con quien Draper permaneció enamorada, al igual que ella permaneció enamorada de Superman. Fue este último nombre, más la novedad de la plataforma flotante, lo que llamó la atención del público, desviando el reconocimiento del propio Draper. Esto resultó ser la gota que colmó el vaso para Draper, quien rompió y se convirtió en el supervillano disfrazado, el Maestro Carcelero . [103] Atacó a Superman y secuestró a Lana con ese nombre. Superman lo derrotó y fue enviado a su propia prisión. [104]
En New Adventures of Superboy # 17 (mayo de 1981), bajo la insistencia de Carl, Superboy crea un robot llamado Kator como un adversario de combate (y le da el "interruptor de corte de seguridad" a Jonathan Kent ). Kator, sin embargo, desarrolló una inteligencia artificial y casi mata al Chico de Acero antes de ser destruido (en Nuevas Aventuras de Superboy # 18). Sin embargo, el robot aparentemente le dio a Draper su identidad y poderes antes de ser destruido. Draper (como el nuevo Kator) luego se enfrenta a Superboy en combate. Sin embargo, Jonathan Kent presiona el interruptor de seguridad en el dispositivo de "corte", que elimina los superpoderes de "Kator" de Draper, y Superboy elimina el recuerdo de que Draper alguna vez fue Kator. [105] [106]
En los cómics posteriores a la crisis , Carl Draper apareció por primera vez en Adventures of Superman # 517 (noviembre de 1994). Esto fue durante la historia de "Dead Again", cuando se sospechaba que Superman era un impostor después de que su cuerpo fue encontrado todavía en su tumba (de la historia de La muerte de Superman ). Draper fue contratado por STAR Labs para diseñar una celda de detención para Conduit , cuando su hija, Carla, le preguntó si podía construir una prisión que pudiera albergar incluso a Superman. Draper inicialmente diseñó una trampa de la que solo el verdadero Superman podía escapar, y se lo explicó a Superman mediante un holograma de una figura disfrazada llamada Deathtrap . Sin embargo, cuando Superman escapó de la trampa, Draper se obsesionó con demostrar que podía capturar lo real. Nota : esta versión de Draper estaba vestida con ropa casual, solo obteniendo un disfraz actualizado con ataques basados en cadenas más adelante.
Draper hizo varios otros intentos para capturar a Superman, a menudo programando el holograma Deathtrap de antemano para que pudiera estar públicamente en otro lugar. En una ocasión, en Superman: The Man of Steel # 43 (abril de 1995), programó Deathtrap para que apareciera durante una conferencia de prensa de Draper Security y mostrara cómo los dispositivos de Draper estaban siendo "subvertidos", eliminando así las sospechas de él y actuando como un publicidad para la empresa.
En Action Comics # 739, Superman (en su forma de energía azul) fue capturado en un "cojeo de energía" por Deathtrap, ahora llamándose a sí mismo el Cerrajero . Al final de la historia, se reveló al lector que su hija, Carla Draper , estaba ejecutando el holograma esta vez y que su padre no estaba al tanto de esto. El maestro carcelero ahora disfrazado fue uno de los villanos junto con Neutron controlado por Manchester Black en la historia de 2002 "Ending Battle"; sin embargo, no estaba claro que fuera, de hecho, Draper.
Carl Draper aparece en Checkmate # 17 (octubre de 2007). En algún momento, Checkmate descubrió sus múltiples identidades y usó esto para obligarlo a convertirse en consultor de seguridad, protegiendo a Checkmate de un ataque. En el tema, evita numerosos asaltos a la sede de Checkmate y es ascendido a jefe de seguridad con el título de Castellano . Aunque no se lo ha dicho a sus superiores, sospecha fuertemente que Carla está involucrada en los ataques. El número también contiene un huevo de Pascua : las pantallas de la computadora muestran un sitio web real (ahora desaparecido) [107] al que se podía acceder con el nombre de usuario "CARL DRAPER" y la contraseña "wilhelmina". El sitio era un diario y una base de datos escritos desde la perspectiva de Draper. En su diario, afirmó haber sido solo Deathtrap y que no estaba relacionado con el maestro carcelero posterior a la crisis .
Una versión de DC Rebirth del Master Carcelero aparece en el crossover Aquaman / Suicide Squad "Sinking Atlantis" como miembro del Squad. Los aspectos de su historia anterior y posterior a la crisis están presentes, con Carl creciendo en Smallville y teniendo una hija. [108]
Versiones alternativas de Carl Draper
Carl Draper aparece en la continuación del cómic de Smallville Smallville Season 11, donde su título es Warden Draper of Stryker's Island . [109]

Se volvió justiciero, persiguiendo y linchando a varios fugitivos hasta que Kara lo frustró; En resumen, sus métodos eran demasiado entusiastas, ya que incluso asesinó a extraterrestres que no eran violentos y querían una vida pacífica. En la Tierra, se hizo pasar por el detective Draper del Departamento de Policía de National City. [110]
Carla Draper
Carla Draper es la hija de Carl Draper, quien apareció en Superboy # 26 (mayo de 1996) bajo el nombre de Snare . Ella respondió a una solicitud de la Unidad de Crímenes Especiales de Hawai a Draper Security para obtener ayuda para capturar al supervillano Knockout , que estaba huyendo con un Superboy equivocado a cuestas. Snare, consciente de la obsesión de su padre, trató de demostrar que ella podía hacer algo que él no podía al capturar a Superboy. Esto llevó a una pelea con la SCU, durante la cual Superboy y Knockout escaparon.

False Face es un nombre utilizado por varios supervillanos diferentes en el Universo DC . [118]
El concepto y el primer personaje, creado por Mort Weisinger y Creig Flessel , apareció por primera vez en Leading Comics # 2 (primavera de 1942) con el nombre "Falseface". [119] El nombre se ajustó más tarde a "False Face" reflejando personajes secundarios introducidos por Fawcett Comics y Timely Comics .
Se han introducido variaciones del personaje en Batman # 113 (febrero de 1958) y Birds of Prey # 112 (enero de 2008). En todos los casos, el personaje solo se identifica como "False-Face" o por un alias mientras está disfrazado.
Primera cara falsa de la Edad de Oro
El primer rostro falso visto fue uno de los cinco delincuentes de poca monta contratados por el organizador Black Star. Junto con sus colegas el Capitán Bigg, Hopper, Brain y Rattler, organizó un robo en un banco de la ciudad disfrazándose de obrero de la construcción. False-Face perforó una tubería principal de agua y usó el agua de escape presurizada para abrir un agujero en el banco. Después de que él y sus amigos robaron el banco, usaron una camioneta como su vehículo de escape mientras estaban disfrazados de policías. Bajo las órdenes de Black Star, False-Face fue enviado a Nueva Orleans para robar riquezas a los patrocinadores del evento de Mardi Gras. Él y sus secuaces se disfrazaron de Clown Krewe y se insinuaron en un desfile de carrozas. Esto logró atraer la atención de Shining Knight que estaba en el área en ese momento. Cara-Falsa escapó, pero sus secuaces fueron detenidos. Luego intentó robar la gema Star Sapphire del organizador de Mardi Gras, JJ Ennis. Para hacer esto, False-Face se disfrazó de detective de la policía y se infiltró en la casa de Ennis. Una vez más luchó contra el Shining Knight y lo sometió brevemente, pero el Shining Knight escapó de la trampa de False-Face y lo derrotó. Luego, False-Face fue arrestado por la policía. En este punto, se descubrió que la cara desagradable que solía presentar no era falsa en absoluto. [Comics 1] Mucho más tarde, se enfrenta a Star-Spangled Kid . [Comics 2]

Cara falsa de la Edad de Plata
La versión de finales de la década de 1950 del personaje, creada por un escritor no acreditado y Sheldon Moldoff , apareció una vez en Batman # 113. [120]
Poco se sabe del primer encuentro de los Caped Crusaders con el villano, pero en su segunda oportunidad encontraron que se había hecho pasar por un rico magnate del uranio llamado PS Smithington. Como Smithington, False-Face robó una joyería en Gotham City, incriminando al verdadero Smithington por el crimen. Batman logró rescatar al Smithington real, pero no pudo recuperar las joyas robadas. En la sede de la policía, el comisionado James Gordon proporcionó a Batman y Robin información sobre el caso y los dos lo persiguieron. Esta vez, False-Face secuestró a la estrella de rock Wally Weskit durante un concierto benéfico y lo ocultó en el hueco de un ascensor. Cuando False-Face asumió la forma de Wally Weskit, su secuaz Pebbles intentó hacerse con las ganancias de la caridad. Batman y Robin lograron evitar esto, pero False-Face y su pandilla escaparon. La tercera vez que False-Face atacó, se hizo pasar por un cazador de safari llamado Arthur Crandall para ingresar al Explorer Club de Gotham City. Mientras intentaban robar el Golden Tiger Trophy del club, Batman y Robin llegaron y lo pisaron de nuevo. Atrajo a Batman hacia un gran tanque de agua y logró atraparlo temporalmente, pero el detective de Dark Knight logró burlar a False Face y sus hombres, deteniendo a todo el grupo en el proceso. False Face fue llevado a prisión, tras lo cual pronto se retiró de su vida delictiva. [Batman 3]

Keith Kenyon era un estudiante de ciencias políticas que estuvo expuesto a un cofre de oro que había sido afectado por desechos tóxicos. Como resultado de la exposición, ganó fuerza e invulnerabilidad sobrehumanas. El oro también le dio un brillo dorado, aparentemente como un efecto secundario del suero. Por supuesto, estar lo suficientemente cerca del amarillo significaba que el anillo de poder de Green Lantern no podía afectarlo directamente, lo que lo hacía particularmente formidable contra el superhéroe. Decidido a rebelarse contra los deseos de su padre, un prominente organizador sindical, comenzó a robar oro alrededor de Coast City, lo que lo llevó a su derrota ante Green Lantern. Comenzó a refinar sus costumbres criminales vistiendo una armadura chapada en oro y usando una "pistola de oro" que rociaba oro líquido. Después de muchos enfrentamientos con Green Lantern, Kenyon decidió cambiar su motivo y comenzó despiadadamente a apoderarse de imperios criminales.
Finalmente se mudó a Central City y se convirtió en enemigo del segundo Flash , Barry Allen .

La hiena es el nombre de dos supervillanos ficticios publicados por DC Comics . La primera hiena debutó en Firestorm # 4 (septiembre de 1978) y fue creada por Gerry Conway y Al Milgrom . [154] La segunda hiena debutó en The Fury of Firestorm # 10 (marzo de 1983) y fue creada por Gerry Conway y Pat Broderick .
Ambos hombres hiena tenían problemas con la autoridad y estaban resentidos con Firestorm por interferir en sus venganzas. La característica única de las hienas era que se convertían en hombres hiena cuando estaban bajo un gran estrés emocional, no solo cuando había luna llena . Esto significaba que podían atacar a los enemigos a plena luz del día y que volverían a sus formas humanas cuando se aliviara su tensión emocional.
La primera hiena, Summer Day , se unió al Cuerpo de Paz como resultado de problemas de relación con su padre y se convirtió en una hiena como resultado de un accidente en África . Tomando el nombre de Hiena, Summer regresó a Estados Unidos y comenzó a atacar tanto a criminales como a policías. Un resultado de su condición es una locura que progresa constantemente. [155]
La segunda hiena, el doctor Jivan Shi , era un psiquiatra de quien Summer Day se había enamorado mientras intentaba tratar su condición de hombre hiena. Una noche, mientras Summer y Jivan se abrazaban, Summer se transformó en la hiena e infectó a Jivan con la maldición de los hombres hiena. El profesor Stein notó que ser la hiena parecía haber distorsionado la mente de Jivan Shi. [156] De acuerdo con The Fury of Firestorm # 10-13, la locura sufrida por los hombres hiena es el lado bestial de uno tomando el control, junto con una exageración de emociones negativas.
En Infinite Crisis , Deadshot mató a una de las Hienas después de una fuga de la prisión [157] y el otro apareció como miembro de la Liga de la Injusticia en Un año después antes de ser asesinado a tiros por Parademons que atacaban el campamento de los villanos. [158]
Un grupo de al menos cinco nuevos hombres hiena, presumiblemente sufriendo la misma maldición que Summer y Jivan, fueron vistos en San Francisco algún tiempo después de la muerte de su predecesor restante. Fueron rápidamente derrotados y regresaron permanentemente a su forma humana gracias a Zatanna , la Zorra y el Canario Negro . [159]
En 2011, " The New 52 " reinició el universo DC. Las hienas son reintroducidas como mercenarios que recibieron drogas especiales que les dieron superfuerza y supervelocidad, con el efecto secundario de una risa constante. [160]

K
Adeline Kane
Adeline Kane , anteriormente Adeline Wilson , es mejor conocida como la líder de la organización criminal HIVE y la ex esposa de Slade Wilson, también conocida como Deathstroke the Terminator . Adeline, enemiga de los Teen Titans , hizo su primera aparición en New Teen Titans # 34 (agosto de 1983). Fue criada como una rica jugadora de la jet-set, a pesar de haber sido entrenada por un padre que había trabajado con las fuerzas guerrilleras chinas. Pero después de un primer matrimonio traumático a los 19 años, se unió al ejército estadounidense, donde conoció, entrenó y se casó con Slade Wilson. Después de que Slade dejó el ejército, Slade y Adeline adoptaron el estilo de vida socialista en el que Adeline se había criado.
Sin que ella lo supiera, Slade estaba usando sus viajes de caza para ganar clientes para su trabajo secundario de mercenario, lo que resultó en el secuestro y casi la muerte de su hijo menor, Joseph . Enfurecida y traicionada por la priorización de Slade del código de honor de Deathstroke sobre el bienestar de su hijo, Adeline le disparó a su esposo y, cuando sobrevivió, le entregó los papeles de divorcio.
Grant, que había idolatrado a su padre, se rebeló contra su madre y se escapó a Nueva York, donde se encontró con los Titanes y terminó muriendo debido a su alianza con HIVE. Slade prometió recoger el contrato de su hijo muerto contra los Jóvenes Titanes; Adeline intervino rápidamente; culpó a Slade por la muerte de Grant. Debido a la intervención de Adeline, Joseph, que había estado trabajando con ella, se unió a los Titans como Jericho.
Joseph eventually became possessed by the spirits of Azarath. Begging his father to kill him in order to prevent the corrupted spirits from achieving their purpose, Adeline's only remaining son died at her husband's hand. Adeline found this out from one of her Searchers Inc. agents, rather than from Slade himself, which merely cemented her long-held grudge against her ex-husband.
Slade, however, held no grudge against her, keeping an eye out for her safety and attempting to aid her when he thought he could get away with it; e.g., when Adeline had been abducted by her first husband Morel, a.k.a. Count Tavolera, who had poisoned her in an attempt to force her to work with him to discover her ancestor Josiah Kane's treasure.
To save Adeline's life, Slade gave her some of his own serum-altered blood. This ended up driving her crazy; Slade's genotype had a unique mutation which enabled him to effectively metabolize his serum. Other less fortunate people either died or went insane.
For a time, Adeline went underground, slowly losing more and more of her normal cognitive abilities, though none of her tactical skills. She eventually turned herself into the H.I.V.E. Mistress, in her madness focusing on superheroes as the reason for her sons' death and creating a plan to kill all the superheroes that she could.
Her plot ultimately resulted in her death. Vandal Savage put a team together to take advantage of Adeline's plan, intending to take her immortal blood to create a sort of Fountain of Youth potion. With her throat cut, unable to die and yet unable to fully heal, Adeline regained her sanity briefly and pleaded with Slade (who had learned of her involvement and arrived to try and save her) to kill her and reunite her with their children. However, because he still had feelings for her no matter what she had done, he was unable to comply with her request, so Starfire killed her instead.

She died in a fire one year ago while Gerald was paralyzed with fear and unable to rescue her. Her death was a direct cause of Gerald's obsession with "curing" himself and his son of fear. She appears as hallucination in "The Scarecrow" as a woman in flame as Gerald tries to conquer his greatest fear.
Kilg%re
- Creators: Mike Baron and Jackson Guice
- First appearance: Flash (vol. 2) #3 (August 1987)
Kilg%re was an electro-mechano-organic intelligence that needed electro-life to survive. It consumed its entire home planet in the Pleides sector and then moved on into space. It was attacked by something known as Meta#sker and placed into a vibrational limbo. Somehow, it found its way to the flats near Salt Lake City on Earth. It could only be seen by people traveling at high speeds, such as an F-15 pilot or the Flash. The Flash unknowingly released it from the limbo it was imprisoned in and it followed him to S.T.A.R. Labs and took over its electrical systems. Kilg%re found the number of machines on Earth ideal for its survival, but humans it deemed distractions and planned to destroy them. It delivered an ultimatum: abandon North America by 12:00 noon on May 10 or be destroyed. During a battle with the Flash in Salt Lake City, it turned out all the power in the country. The Flash sought the help of Cyborg, who used the Titans' satellite to relay the message to the governments of the world to shut down all power in order to kill Kilg%re. This scared it out of the power grid and it weaved a giant mechanical snake across the Utah flats, trying to complete a circuit by catching up with the cloned body of S.T.A.R. Labs' Dr. Schmitz in order to survive. However, the Flash outraced it, supposedly killing it. After Kilg%re's defeat at the hands of the Flash he appeared to be destroyed, but resurfaced in the form of a sentient computer mind hidden in a self-created computer operating system in a deep cave. When Maxwell Lord was spelunking one day, his then-president had fallen deep into the cave where Kilg%re lay dormant. Sensing a human life, Kilg%re decided to help coax Max into further succeeding his own plans, as well as Max's subconscious plans of self-actualization. To do this, Kilg%re decided to help Max start the new Justice League and grow the group into becoming more international. Kilg%re served in a behind-the-scenes role, constantly coaxing and manipulating Max into furthering his plans, such as gaining money, power and cutting-edge technology to give Kilg%re a stronger machine to inhabit. Through such advantages, Kilg%re and Max were able to create a better duplicate of the Justice League signal device, begin a recruitment drive and find willing villains, gaining additional muscle such as Booster Gold and a new Ace android. Kilg%re grew impatient and decided to start using bigger ideas, such as inciting an international incident to distract Justice League International. To do this, he found hidden technologies designed as a monitoring device by Metron. He launched the satellite, which was only defeated by Mister Miracle because he was used to New God technology. A serious mishap occurred during the Millennium event, in which the Manhunters took over the bodies of those they deemed were close enough to major figures to do damage. One of these Manhunters took over the body of the secretary of Max and, when she delivered coffee to him, she shot him four times. Rushing to Max's safety, Kilg%re promptly eliminated the threat by combining some of his technology with Max in order to save his life and kill the Manhunter. Max eventually learned of Kilg%re's tampering when half of Kilg%re was destroyed by the construct falling through the building that housed Kilg%re. In Kilg%re's fleeting moments, he threw another series of visions designed to tamper with Max's thoughts and implant Kilg%re into another larger system. Max refused and destroyed what was left of Kilg%re's last computing body. Doing so removed the cyborg self-repairing systems in Max's body, which landed him in the hospital. Kilg%re, however, was not completely destroyed.
Kilg%re appeared in DC Rebirth's Cyborg #01, 02 and 18 and The Flash/Speed Buggy Special #1.

L
Lady Eve
Lady Eve is a fictional supervillainess created by Mike W. Barr and Alan Davis, making her first appearance in Batman and the Outsiders #24 (Aug. 1985).
Little is known about Lady Eve's past, but she first met the terrorist cult leader Kobra (Jeffrey Burr) in Egypt where she nursed him back to health. In gratitude, Kobra offered Eve to join him in exchange for a better life. She accepted and eventually became Kobra's lover, as well as a high-ranking member of the Kobra Cult. She and Kobra once hatched a plot to brainwash top officials of the U.S. Army and steal a satellite defense program to blackmail the United States government, but Batman and the Outsiders eventually stopped them both.[186]
Lady Eve would later assemble a second incarnation of Strike Force Kobra. When this version of Strike Force Kobra was defeated by the Eradicator's incarnation of the Outsiders, even after the death of the third Syonide, Lady Eve called Kobra for help, only for him to tell them to surrender. This action caused a strain between Kobra and Lady Eve.[187]
In DC Rebirth, Lady Eve kills a Kobra operative after Katana stole Dr. Helga Jace from them. This leads the Kobra organization into attacking the nearby Markovian village, Lady Eve confronts Katana and the two duel almost to a standstill, until a child distracts Katana. This enables Lady Eve to gain the upper hand and make off with Dr. Jace.[188] Lady Eve has the Kobra soldiers place everybody against the wall.

Lillian Luthor
Lillian Luthor (portrayed by Alisen Down) was the mother of Alexander Luthor and Julian Luthor, as well as the wife of Lionel Luthor.
Smallville
Lillian had a long and prolific role in the TV series Smallville.
Lillian came from a wealthy family. How she met Lionel is unclear, but they were married sometime before the 1980s. By all accounts, Lillian was a caring, beautiful and sophisticated person, as well as comments made by Lex and Lionel have indicated that she had a spirited personality, had ambitions of her own and often stood up to Lionel.
Eventually, Lillian began to wonder about the special projects that Lionel had. She searched for answers and found something called "Veritas". However, Alexander saw her going through his father's briefcase, so Lillian asked him not to tell anyone. When Lionel found out, he immediately blamed Alexander and forced him to tell the truth. When Alexander did, Lillian insisted Lionel explain what Veritas was, but Lionel knocked her to the floor instead and warned her not to look into his projects again. Lillian felt angered and disgusted by Alexander's betrayal.
Sometime later, Lillian became ill with a heart condition that worsened over the rest of her life. Lionel hired a nurse named Rachel Dunleavy to assist her. Rachel and Lionel subsequently had an affair, resulting in the birth of Lionel's illegitimate son, Lucas. It is unclear whether Lillian knew of the affair or the child.
Lillian was helped by a nanny, Pamela Jenkins, who Alexander regarded as a second mother. Lionel was often absent from home and Lillian insisted that he take Alexander on one of his business trips to Smallville during the meteor shower of 1989. Lionel's resulting shame and constant critique of Alexander bothered Lillian greatly.
Sometime in the early 1990s, Lionel insisted that they have another child, an idea that Lillian was highly opposed to, presumably because of her poor health. However, when Alexander was 11, Lillian became pregnant again. She insisted that Alexander be allowed to come home for school from Excelsior Academy and Lionel complied. Her pregnancy was strenuous and Lillian was bedridden for much of it. On Alexander's disastrous 12th birthday (which no one attended), Lillian gave him a lead box allegedly made from the armor of St. George, which he kept into adulthood and later gave to Clark Kent.
After baby Julian's birth, Lillian descended into a deep case of postpartum depression, refusing to hold the child and crying perpetually. One evening, Lionel sent the baby's nanny home and insisted that Lillian bond with the child. Lillian expressed her concern that Lionel would pit the two boys against each other and announced that she wanted a divorce, a threat that she had apparently made many times and that Lionel had called "tiresome".
On returning home from work one night, Lionel discovered Alexander in the baby's nursery. Alexander immediately apologized and confessed to accidentally killing Julian while trying to stop him from crying. Lionel erupted into a fierce rage and struck Alexander. Their relationship never recovered, even after he became an adult. It was not until years later, after receiving experimental therapy to recall repressed memories, that he remembered that Lillian had in fact smothered the baby during one of her delusions, hoping to spare him from Lionel's maltreatment. Alexander took the blame, correctly assuming that his father would cover it up in order to protect his sole heir, although he would probably be less inclined to do so for his wife.
Sometime before her death Lillian, along with Lex and Lionel, went to a ranch in Montana to spend time together. During that time, a snake spooked Lillian's horse, prompting Lionel to save her and wait on her until she was better.
After Julian's death, Lillian's health rapidly deteriorated and she died several months later in the spring of 1993 when Alexander was 13. He later confessed to Clark that he was in denial about her impending death and spent the time researching treatments and doctors instead of being with her. Lex also told Lana Lang that he was away at boarding school when Lillian died and found out about her passing from reporters who had sneaked into his school.
Lillian left her shares of LuthorCorp to her son and Pamela.
Lillian's death was extremely influential in the adult Lex's life. He had visions of his mother on many occasions. When Lex was shot and ended up in a coma, he had a near-death experience. In it, Lillian visited him and showed Lex an alternate life of happiness that he could have if he would simply walk away from Lionel and LuthorCorp. However, at the end of the vision, Lana (his dream wife) suffered complications during childbirth. Because of Lex's lack of resources and estrangement from his father, he was unable to transfer Lana to a better facility and she died: this led Lex to believe that Lana died because he lacked enough money and power: with these, everything else in life could be secured. As a result, Lex ignored his mother's warning and continued his lifestyle of deceit and corruption. After realizing this, Lillian was seen in the reflection of a hospital window crying over her son's choice.
When Lex was injected with the Limbo drug, which placed its users in a state of "clinical death", he met Lillian again, who told him that she was angry with him for ignoring her advice.
When Lex was shot and went into a coma, Clark Kent and Lionel used a machine that allowed Clark to enter Lex's mind in order to find Lois Lane and Kara Kent. In Lex's mind, Clark met a young version of Lex and the two hid from a psychotic and murderous adult Lex. In the memory featuring Lillian snooping in Lionel's briefcase, Clark witnessed Lionel's verbal and physical abuse of both Lex and Lillian, as well as watched Lex try to help his mother up, but Lillian uncharacteristically told him that he had done enough and walked away from him.
Lillian Luthor in comics

Lunkhead
Lunkhead is an enemy of Batman who became an inmate at Arkham Asylum. Lunkhead was clearly stupid, but exhibited massive strength; he made an enemy of the Ventriloquist (Arnold Wesker) when he smashed Wesker's companion, Scarface. He was sacrificed to the devil by a pack of demons, along with many others, when the Ventriloquist threw his voice to make it seem as though Lunkhead was volunteering to be thrown into the fiery pit with the rest of the damned.

Matches Malone
First appearance | Batman #242 (June 1972) |
---|---|
Created by | Dennis O'Neil, Irv Novick, Dick Giordano |
Further reading
|
Matches Malone was originally a Gotham gang boss who Batman attempted to recruit to help him take down Ra's al Ghul. When he was accidentally killed by a ricocheting bullet that was meant for Batman, Batman began to impersonate him to use his underworld contacts and to fool Ra's.[195]
Post-Crisis, he was a relatively small-time arsonist with his brother Carver and who came to Gotham City early on in Batman's career, attracting Batman's attention when Carver was apparently murdered. Although Matches was the prime suspect, there was no concrete evidence to make the charges stick and Matches was released, only for Batman to subsequently find what appeared to be Matches' dead body in another fire, apparently a suicide. However, Batman never reported the death; at the time, he had been attempting to establish a criminal alias for himself to help him gather information, but the exclusive nature of the criminal sects meant that no one would recruit someone that they had not heard of, prompting him to adopt Matches' identity and use it for his own.
However, years later, Batman learned the truth about what had happened. Carver's death had actually been a suicide prompted by his guilt over a fire that he and Matches had started that resulted in the death of a homeless man resting in the building they had torched, with Matches making the body look like a murder victim because he was ashamed of his brother's suicide. Subsequently, deciding to escape Batman stalking him for the crime, Matches used the body of their earlier victim to fake his own death, with Batman being so eager to establish his criminal alias that he never took the time to definitively confirm the body's identity. After operating underground for years by committing low-end robberies, Matches returned to Gotham after hearing reports of 'his' activities, only to be shot by Scarface for 'his' recent betrayal, surviving long enough to simply confess his role in events to Batman and Nightwing before dying, with his last request being that Batman bury him next to his brother Carver.
Having destroyed Scarface in 'revenge' for Matches' death, Batman commented to Nightwing later on that he continued using the Matches identity because, in the years he had spent playing Matches, he had come to recognize that Matches was not an evil man, but had done some bad things that he never had the chance to make up for, regarding his use of Matches' name as a chance to give Matches some absolution.
The "Matches Malone" identity indirectly caused the events of Batman: War Games; after she was fired as Robin, Stephanie Brown attempted to implement an old plan of Batman's that would allow him to take control of the city's criminal organisations, hoping that this would impress Batman enough to convince him to take her back. Unfortunately, she was unaware that Batman's agent who was meant to take control of the meeting, Matches Malone, was actually Batman himself, resulting in tensions between the crime families flaring up and most of them being killed in the subsequent stand-off, leading into the subsequent gang wars and Stephanie's own apparent death.
In The Batman Adventures comic book series, Batman uses the Matches Malone guise against the False Face Society and a backstory reveals Malone was a low-level enforcer for Rupert Thorne who agreed to become a snitch for Batman and Commissioner Gordon against Thorne. But, when Malone began skimming cash from Thorne, he was shot to death by "two Chicago triggers" who go by the monikers Dapper (for always dressing well) and Cricket (for his short wiry build). Upon finding the dying Malone and being told that his killers went to a well-known Chinese restaurant, Batman removed his glasses—and was shocked by what Malone looked like. Batman took Malone's guise, defeated the two hitmen and sent them to prison, and has used the guise ever since.
Matches Malone in other media
- In the aborted Tom Mankiewicz script The Batman, the character is named Jimmy Malone, being a simple criminal accomplice to the Joker.[196]
- In Batman: The Animated Series, Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy) uses the alias Matches Malone to infiltrate Two-Face's gang in the two-parts episode "Shadow of the Bat."
- The character, renamed Matthew "Matches" Malone, is used in Batman: The Brave and the Bold as an alias by Batman (voiced by Diedrich Bader). In the episode "Chill of the Night!", Batman uses the name variation during a trip to the past with the Phantom Stranger to see Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne years before their deaths and unaware that Malone is their grown son. In the episode "The Mask of Matches Malone!", Batman gets amnesia while in his Matches Malone persona and believes himself to actually be a gangster.
- The character appears again, this time renamed Patrick "Matches" Malone, in the live-action Gotham TV series, portrayed by Danny Schoch in his first masked appearance and by Michael Bowen in the second appearance. This version is a philosophical hitman-for-hire who is one of Gotham City's deadliest murderers and was an old partner of Mutants leader Terence "Cupcake" Shaw. He is the masked man in shiny shoes who killed Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne in front of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle (who was watching from the highest part of the fire escape), taking Joe Chill's place in the comics and most adaptations. This has led Detective James Gordon into finding him in order to bring to justice. Silver St. Cloud revealed the killer's identity to be Patrick. When Bruce finally confronts Patrick, Patrick stated that he was tired of doing bad things, while barely recalling if he killed Bruce's parents and Bruce decides not to kill Patrick. Using the gun that Bruce left behind, Patrick committed suicide by the time Gordon caught up with Bruce. Gordon and Harvey Bullock were left wondering who could have hired Malone to kill Thomas and Martha (which was eventually revealed to be Hugo Strange).

Publication information | |
Publisher | DC Comics |
First appearance | Pamela: Action Comics #775 (March 2001) Sonja: JLA #100 (August 2004) |
Created by | Joe Kelly and Doug Mahnke |
In-story information | |
Alter ego | Pamela Sonja |
Team affiliations | Justice League The Elite |
Abilities | Controls symbiotic alien parasites |
Menagerie is a name shared by two anti-heroines in the DC Universe, both members of the Elite.[197] The two are Puerto Rican sisters who are linked with a symbiotic alien weapon crèche called symbeasts. Menagerie appears in Superman vs. The Elite, voiced by Melissa Disney and Supergirl, played by Jessica Meraz.
Pamela first appears in Action Comics #775 (March 2001). While the origins of her powers are unclear in Action Comics #775, Manchester Black states that the rogue Men in Black (from the Department of Extranormal Operations) once picked up the dregs of society, turning them into weapons and selling them off to the highest alien bidder. Black recruits Pam to be a member of the Elite. This group takes it upon themselves to "free the Earth of scum". They come into conflict with Superman during their first mission and Superman disables them following a showdown on Jupiter's moon, Io. The Elite are delivered into custody, but soon released by President Lex Luthor.[198] During an assassination attempt on Luthor, Menagerie reveals to Superman that the Elite are acting against their wills. For her betrayal, Black induces a stroke in her, putting her in a permanent vegetative state.[199]
Sonja first appears in JLA #100 (August 2004). Upon Black's apparent death, his sister, Vera Black, takes it upon herself to clear the family name and reassembles the Elite as a force for good. As Sister Superior she convinces Pamela's sister, Sonja, to assume control of the alien cache as the second Menagerie. Vera then approaches the JLA with a proposition to form a sort of black ops JLA team: Justice League Elite.[200] Sonja's hatred of Manchester Black becomes a hatred of the Elite. Sonja sees this as her opportunity to kill Vera's dream, so she plays along and joins the team. In their first mission, Menagerie secretly coaxes Coldcast into killing the foreign terrorist dictator, Hi-Shan Bhat.[201] Menagerie lays low during the fallout and puts effort into her personal relationship with Coldcast. The two become lovers and are drawn together by their shared affection for Pamela. Then, while most of the Elite goes underground, Vera is finally fully overtaken by the disembodied Manchester Black.[202]
While Black threatens Earth with a Fourth World god, Menagerie goes missing and Coldcast is arrested by the JLA for Bhat's murder. Coldcast confesses to the murder and is taken to the Slab prison. There he is visited by the spirit of the recently departed Manitou Raven, who frees him from Menagerie's control.[203] Coldcast is exonerated and the team tracks Sonja to Costa Rica. She is taken into JLA custody, deprived of the aliens, and begins a gradual separation that they hope will sever her connection to the symbeasts.[204]
Powers and abilities of Menagerie
The symbeasts can be assembled to shift over the host to form various shapes and weapons such as claws, spikes or whips. Most commonly, they form around the body and take the form of wings, enabling Menagerie to fly. She can also instruct them to take other forms, or detach from her body and operate independently. One creature has a bite that can force its victims to tell the truth. According to Vera Black, there is also a creature among the creche that can create bio-electric bursts. Menagerie has acidic blood as well and Sonja often allows herself to get hurt by her opponents as a combat tactic.
Menagerie in other media
Menagerie appears in Superman vs. The Elite, voiced by Melissa Disney.
A variation of the Pamela version of Menagerie appears in her self-titled Supergirl episode portrayed by Jessica Meraz. In this show, Pamela Ferrer is a jewel thief who got bonded to a snake-like alien, transforming her into Menagerie. After she killed her partner Chuck and some other people, Menagerie was confronted by Supergirl, the Martian Manhunter, Brainiac 5, and Alex Danvers. Their fight attracted the attention of the Children of Liberty. When Menagerie planned to rob the masquerade ball, she encountered Nia Nal and Supergirl and George Lockwood show up. While she did manage to subdue Supergirl, the snake-like alien on Menagerie was beheaded by George. President Baker made an example out of Menagerie and had her incarcerated. While in her cell, Menagerie received a pleasing letter from Manchester Black. In the episode "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?", Menagerie escapes from prison and forms the Elite alongside Manchester Black, the Hat, and an unnamed Morae.

Multiplex is a supervillain in the DC Universe.[214]
The character, created by Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom, first appeared as Danton Black in Firestorm #1 (March 1978) and as Multiplex in Firestorm #2 (April 1978).[215]
Within the context of the stories, Danton Black is a nuclear physicist who worked as Martin Stein's assistant in the designing of the Hudson Nuclear Facility. Feeling that he is not receiving his due credit, he begins stealing lab equipment. When he is caught by Stein and fired, he publicly accuses Stein of stealing his designs for the power plant. He breaks into the plant to steal blueprints to fabricate evidence on the same night that Stein attempts to bring it on line. Caught in the same explosion that fuses Stein and Ronnie Raymond into Firestorm, he gains the ability to split himself into identical duplicates, though those duplicates are smaller than the original, and get smaller the more he splits.[216]
Multiplex was a member of the Suicide Squad team tasked with capturing Firestorm when the hero attempted to coerce the nations of the Earth to destroy their nuclear weapons. Multiplex ran afoul of the Parasite, a dangerous villain brought along as a last resort, and appeared to be completely eaten by him.
Multiplex returned years later as an unwilling servant of the Thinker. He claimed to be the same villain that Firestorm had faced before, though he had no explanation as to how he was still alive. His powers had changed, as his duplicates were not reduced in size and appeared to be disposable.
In The New 52 reboot, during the Forever Evil storyline, Multiplex appears as a member of the Secret Society of Super Villains. The Crime Syndicate sent Multiplex with Black Bison, the Hyena, Plastique and Typhoon to finish Gorilla Grodd's job. The villains ended up defeated by the Rogues, since one of their targets was the hospital that Captain Cold's sister was recuperating at.[161]
In the 2020 crossover event, Endless Winter, Multiplex appeared as one of several supervillains working for Black Adam to help fight the Frost King. Although not confirmed, it is implied that he dies at the hands of the Frost King.

This version is a former employee of Stagg Industries who attempted to get revenge on his former employer Simon Stagg for stealing his research in cloning, which led to the death of Black's wife. As a result of being exposed to dark matter after S.T.A.R. Labs's particle accelerator exploded while experimenting on himself, Black gained the ability to create mindless duplicates of himself that he can control mentally. After realizing his powers caused great strain on him, the Flash exploited this by tricking Black into creating hundreds of duplicates and defeating the weakened original. While trying to tackle the Flash, Black ends up defenestrating himself. The speedster attempts to save him, but Black chooses to fall to his death. Cisco Ramon briefly nicknames Black "Captain Clone" before posthumously naming him Multiplex.

In his early life, Nereus started out as a Xebel military chief to King Ryus and was to be betrothed to the king's daughter Mera. Before the wedding could begin, Nereus and Mera were tasked to kill the King of Atlantis as part of their revenge for their imprisonment in the Bermuda Triangle.[220]
When King Ryus died and Mera fell in love with Aquaman, Nereus was sworn in as the new King of Xebel. Some years later, Mera returned to Xebel, where Nereus discovered that Mera did not kill Aquaman. When Nereus tried to kill Mera, the enemy in ice that pursued Mera appeared and froze all of Xebel.[221] The frozen enemy introduced himself as Atlan the First King of Atlantis, who had awakened from his slumber and wanted his kingdoms back. Nereus swore his allegiance to the Dead King Atlan.[221] When Aquaman arrived, he and Mera fled from Xebel when Nereus and his men pursued them. Nereus led his forces into invading Atlantis, where Mera was captured.[222]
Some months later, Nereus was tasked by Atlan to find the other four Atlantean kingdoms where the Trench, the first one that was found, was. After Atlan was defeated, Nereus found the Ocean Master in Louisiana and told him that he knows where the other four Atlantean kingdoms are.[223]

When the Fisherman King Ricou turned down Orm's offer, he was killed while Nereus killed the two guards that tried to avenge him. Nereus then watched as Orm persuaded King Ricou's wife Queen Rina and daughter Princess Scales to take the offer. During the attack on the Kingdom of the Brine where Orm became the Ocean Master, Nereus fought the Brine soldiers and told the Ocean Master that they need the Brine King alive. When Aquaman arrives on the back of the leviathan Karathan and summons an army of sea creatures, Nereus is told by Princess Scales that Aquaman is also commanding the Trench, which Nereus considered impossible. Mera finds her father and informs him that Aquaman has King Atlan's trident, causing Nereus to switch sides. He then watches Aquaman's duel with the Ocean Master, where Aquaman is victorious, and even sees Atlanna appear. As the Ocean Master is taken away by the Atlantean guards, Nereus and the other Atlantean kingdoms accept Aquaman as their leader.

Ogre in other media
- A different variation of the character appears in Gotham, portrayed by Milo Ventimiglia. This version is Jason Skolimski (using an alias Jason Lennon), a son of unnamed mother and Jacob Skolimski, the butler who worked for rich woman Constance van Groot. His biological mother left Jacob and Jason some time ago. When they came to service of Constance van Groot, Jason thought to believe that she is his mother, but she rejected him and in his rage killed her, taking her money and leaving the rotting corpse in her bedroom, with the help from his father. Jason made plastic surgery to his disfigured face in the clinic, where he was cured by a nurse Julie Kemble, the first murder victim. Over one decade, he became a serial killer in which he targets young and attractive successful women, kidnapping and keeping them for weeks or months and later murdering and dumping them in various places of Gotham, leaving behind a hand-made drawing of a broken heart. The GCPD keeps very quiet about the case, not even telling the press about his killings, and usually let the cases slip by because whenever Skolimski finds out his murders are being investigated, he goes after the loved ones of the detectives handling them. From those reasons, he is called the "Ogre" and "Don Juan Killer" (according to Harvey Bullock), and the Ogre is said to be handsome, rich and educated man in his profile. First appearing in "Beasts of Prey", Gordon and Bullock investigate the murder of missing model Grace Fairchild after Gordon accepted the case from police officer Len Moore; Gordon later realises that he was ordered by Commissioner Loeb to give him the case as an act of vengeance. In "Under the Knife", Gordon publicily tells to the public the details about him and his murder spree. He and Bullock discover his background and his father. During that time, Skolimski encounters Gordon's ex, Barbara Kean, inviting her in his house. Although he attempts to kill her, he saw something more in her, but Barbara tries to resist, forcing him to bound her in torture room. After freeing Barbara, Jason forces her to tell him whom to kill next. In "The Anvil or the Hammer", Gordon tries to find him, through the Foxglove club in which one member Sally (who was kidnapped by Jason before his murder spree, only to be spared by unknown reason) reveals that he is in Gotham Royal Hotel. Gordon and Bullock then go to Barbara's parents mansion, finding her parents murdered. Gordon finally shoots him and saves Barbara, albeit in shaken psychological state.

The character, created by Gardner Fox and Joe Kubert, first appeared in Flash Comics #66 (August 1945).[243] That and a follow up story in 1947 were the character's only appearances, until Roy Thomas revived him for an All-Star Squadron story in 1984 and later selected him as one of the focal characters of Young All-Stars in 1987.[244] In addition, Thomas expanded the character's backstory and origin so that it incorporated large chunks of The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne.
Within the context of the stories, Neptune Perkins is a mutant born with attributes that lend themselves to living at sea. During World War II he works with the All-Star Squadron. After the war he weds Miya Shimada, though this relationship becomes strained in part by his being unaware that he is not the father of their daughter, Debbie.

Lashawn Baez was a graduate student at Central City Medical School, but put her studies aside to help her father Tomas when he got ill, requiring a kidney transplant. Lashawn tried to donate hers, but the procedure activated her latent metagene, granting her teleportation powers while in the same unable to donate her own organ because of her powers whenever she was touched.
As Peek-a-Boo, she snuck into Central City Hospital to steal a kidney, but accidentally destroyed a lab due to her powers being unstable and dangerous. The doctor grabbed her arm, which caused an implosion where she disappeared, nearly killing the surprised surgeon. The Flash and Cyborg intervened and defeated her with a wall of white sound generated by Cyborg's arm, coupled with disorientation from being teleported hundreds of times a second when the Flash deliberately triggered her powers. The Flash later returned the kidney to the hospital and Lashawn was convinced and sent to Iron Heights.[245]
When Gorilla Grodd attacked Iron Heights, Peek-a-Boo was able to escape along with many other Rogues. She went to hospital to check on her father.

Pozhar
Mikhail Arkadin is a Soviet superhero known as the Soviet Firestorm and Pozhar (Russian: пожар, "wildfire").
Mikhail Denisovitch Arkadin originally was an intellectual attached to the Chernobyl power plant, and was present during its catastrophe; his metagene was activated, and he gained the ability to create an all-consuming fire. That same fire destroyed most of his body, and he was forced to wear a containment suit in order to prevent himself from destroying everything he touched. The Russian government then maneuvered him into position to be one of its premier heroes, placing him into a battle against the original Firestorm, who was then calling for complete nuclear disarmament.
The battle raged for a time between the two heroes, until a nuclear weapon was dropped on the duo while they fought in the Nevada desert. From that debacle arose a new Firestorm, in which Mikhail played a crucial role, along with the original two members of the Firestorm Matrix, Martin Stein and Ronnie Raymond. He continued as a member of Firestorm in another incarnation, as an Elemental, but was eventually removed from the Firestorm Matrix so that Martin alone could bear the powers. Ronnie and Mikhail returned to their homes, de-powered.
During the "In My Father's House" storyline in the most recent Firestorm series, it was revealed that Mikhail is, in fact, once again in control of his former abilities. He was re-powered by a nuclear test gone wrong in Russia. After going by the name of Firestorm for a time (not knowing that a new Firestorm made up of Jason Rusch and Martin Stein had been in operation for some time), he has now changed his identity back to Pozhar.[247][248]
In The New 52, a reboot of the DC Universe, Professor Mikhail Arkadin helped Professor Martin Stein invent the Firestorm Protocols.[249][250]
In the Watchmen sequel Doomsday Clock, Pozhar appears as a member of the People's Heroes. He appears on TV, announcing that Russia is closing their borders to all foreigners, be they metahuman or not. During his interview on "the Superman Theory", Firestorm used a profanity to describe it and even used another profanity to insult Pozhar, much to the dismay of Martin Stein.[251] Pozhar joined the People's Heroes in trying to catch Firestorm when he was accused of turning some Russians into glass. This causes Superman to come to Firestorm's defense, much to the dismay of Batman.[252]
Pozhar in other media
Mikhail Arkadin appears in Legends of Tomorrow, portrayed by Voytek Skrzeta. When the Legends infiltrate Luskavic Labs looking into Vandal Savage's Operation Svarog, Arkadin leads Soviet soldiers in capturing Martin Stein, Ray Palmer and Mick Rory and takes them to the Koshmar prison camp.

Arkadin attempts to contain the prisoners, but Leonard Snart pushes him into a cell with a prisoner named Boris, who proceeds to beat him up. He is killed when Valentina Vostok (as Firestorm) becomes unstable, causing a nuclear explosion at Koshmar.
Preus
Preus is a fictional DC Comics supervillain who first appeared in Adventures of Superman #625 (April 2004) and was created by Joe Kelly and Talent Caldwell.[253]
For years, Sergeant Preus had proudly served the Citizen's Patrol Corps, a police force that kept the peace in Kandor under the Kryptonian banner of El, their "creator".[253] Due to the compression of time, more than a century had passed inside the bottle city (compared to only a handful of years outside it) during which Preus and his fellow Kandorians had come to worship "The Superman" as their "god in heaven" above. The Corpsman was also a devout xenophobe, who dispensed justice against "non-K" (Kryptonian) dissidents that threatened their way of life, especially a citizen named Kal-El, who forever tainted Paradise when he seemingly murdered several Kandorians.[254]
Preus swore a solemn oath to make the murderer pay, not realizing that Kal-El was actually the Superman that he and the others had worshiped for so long.[255] He was also unaware that the "victims" were constructs created by an alien telepath, Lyla, who had brainwashed Kal-El into believing that Kandor was a never-exploded Krypton.[256] Eventually shattering the illusion, Superman escaped Kandor and confronted Lyla back in Metropolis. Preus followed them, but exposure to Earth's air and yellow sun drastically affected him, giving him strange, new powers equal to Superman's while amplifying his already-unbalanced racist views.[257]
Convinced that Kal-El had defiled the legacy of "The Superman", Preus swore to assume that responsibility himself and that all of the impure would die by his hand. His xenophobia led him to a group of white supremacists in the American desert, who he forced into worshiping him and his views. However, in time, the people of "God's Peake" (as the camp was called) came to worship Preus as their cult leader. His increasing prominence eventually led both the Martian Manhunter and Jimmy Olsen to investigate, only to have both of them captured by Preus and his men.[258]
This forced a confrontation with Superman, who, at the time, was dealing with the effects of Gog's synthetic yellow kryptonite, which had significantly aged and weakened Superman in a short period of time. So weakened, Superman was barely able to deal with Preus' legions alone and quickly found himself outclassed by the (at the time) much more vital Preus.[259]
A last-ditch gambit using kryptonite to try and weaken Preus failed, as Preus revealed a previously unknown resistance to kryptonite. He was finally defeated when Superman attacked and destroyed a key portion of Preus' armor, rendering him unconscious. Afterwards, Preus was injured from that attack and had to be hospitalized. His current whereabouts are unknown. He was last seen as a weakened Superman tried to fly him to S.T.A.R. Labs for treatment. Preus disappeared after Superman was engaged by an army of Gogs.[260]
Powers and abilities of Preus
Preus possesses powers similar to those of Superman, such as superhuman strength and speed, flight, invulnerability, X-ray vision and enhanced senses. Unlike Superman, Preus can fire beams of black energy from his eyes that strike a target with intense heat and force. Preus also does not share Superman's vulnerability to kryptonite.
Psiphon
In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, Psiphon is introduced to DC as a H.I.V.E. warrior who is paired up with the Dreadnought. He appears in Superboy (vol. 4) #20, where the team are dispatched to New York City to capture Doctor Psycho, who had escaped from a H.I.V.E. facility, and Superboy, whose psionic powers were of interest to the H.I.V.E. Despite proving to be formidable opponents, both Psiphon and the Dreadnought were defeated when Doctor Psycho and Superboy teamed up to take them down. Psiphon was knocked out by Superboy with just a flick of his finger.

After being defeated by Green Lantern, he started a new life as a scientist for Dayton Industries. However, when the company developed the self-generating power source known as Promethium, the temptation was too much for him.[262] Through his robot puppets, the Puppeteer took control of Cyborg, Kid Flash, Starfire, and Wonder Girl and turned them against their teammates. Raven's soul-self was finally able to break their trance and the Titans united to battle the Puppeteer and his toy robotic army. When the villain was defeated, the H.I.V.E. attempted to destroy him for his failure, but the Puppeteer escaped.[263]

Scream Queen
Creators: Len Kaminski and Anthony Williams. First appearance: Showcase '96 #11 (December 1996).
Nina Skorzeny, a.k.a. the Scream Queen, was the vampire lead singer of Scare Tactics.
A member of the Skorzeny clan of vampires in Markovia, Nina's family was wiped out by a group of vampire killers called the Graveyard Shift. The group was responsible for many vampire concentration camps as they attempted to exterminate all the vampires in Markovia. Nina was able to survive their efforts and escaped to America. This left her with a deep distrust of humans, who she called "breathers" or "normals".
After making it to America, she was captured by R-Complex, a government agency that subjected her to numerous experiments. She was eventually rescued by the efforts of Arnold Burnsteel and Fate. The pair also freed Fang, Slither, and Gross-Out. Burnsteel suggested the group form a band to serve as cover while they try to outrun R-Complex agents.
The Scream Queen met Catwoman on one occasion. The pair battled Graveyard Shift members and an elder vampire in Gotham City. Nina was forced to kill the vampire to save Catwoman's life. She felt some guilt over killing a member of her own kind to save a human, but the pair had bonded and Catwoman became one of the few humans that the Scream Queen saw as a friend.
Eventually, the Scream Queen began to change her view of her Scare Tactics teammates, finally seeing them as friends. Following Slither's death, Nina arranged for the group to take his ashes and throw them in his father's face. She also bit and sucked all the alcohol from Burnsteel's system when he got drunk to deal with his grief.

Spin
Creators: Tom Peyer and Freddie E. Williams II.
Mr. Auerbach (first appearance in Flash (vol. 2) #238 (May 2008)), was the son of a media mogul whose holdings included the cable news network KN News. He pursued a career in journalism, hoping to work his way up in his father's company. While working on a story, he met Edwar Martinez, who was capable of sensing the fears in others and making them a reality. Auerbach eventually was put in charge of KN News, where he had a hand in determining much of the content that the network covered.
He also led a double life as the villain Spin. He kept Edwar captive in the basement of the news building, hooking him up to machines and forcing him to watch news coverage. In this setting, Spin was able to channel and direct Edwar's amazing ability.
His first caper was robbing a Fabergé egg from a local auction. He created a distraction by summoning earthquakes, which had been in the public's mind due to a recent quake in Hub City.
He took advantage of a comment made on television by the Flash expressing his financial woes. After the citizens of Keystone City started to feel some doubt about their local hero, Spin lured him to the Keystone City Salamanders stadium and forced him to steal many valuables from the fans there. This causes a massive public outcry against the Flash, which Spin enhances with his powers, even turning the original Flash against his successor.
When Spin and Edwar realized that the Flash had identified the source of the disturbances as emanating from KN News, he used his abilities to summon Gorilla Grodd to Keystone, the Rogue which Edwar sensed would make the speedster most anxious. Grodd, however, was not pleased with his sudden teleportation and a massive battle ensued. In the chaos, Edwar was released from his machinery and his powers went completely out of control, causing citizens to act out nearly every situation being mentioned in the media.

Sy Borgman is a retired U.S. agent formerly called Syborg who was rendered scooter-bound and got cybernetic enhancements after stopping a terrorist plot. When Harley Quinn heads to her nursing home appointment, Sy Borgman recognizes her causing Harley to close the door behind her. He explains his history to her and states how he must use a scooter due to the weight of the cybernetics affecting his aged body. Sy wants to help Harley by targeting the gang that was responsible for his current cybernetic state.[304] While going over the files, Harley and Sy start with Igor Lenivetskin, who is in a coma. They were able to sever the tubes going into him and set his body to explode. The second target is Ivana Brekemoff. Sy states Ivana will be more difficult than Igor. Upon entering the mansion by force, Harley and Sy confront Ivana who starts using an RPG on them, which blows up the mansion.[305] Emerging unscathed, Harley and Sy flee from the police helicopter while throwing Ivana to her death. Their third target is Alexei "the Bear" Medvedenko, who currently works as a security guard at the Prospect Park Zoo.

In Pre-Crisis era, TNT and Dan the Dyna-Mite are the secret identities of chemistry teacher and track coach Thomas N. "Tex" Thomas and his student Daniel Dunbar. While working together with some "radioactive salts", they discover they are charged with atomic energy. Thomas is charged with positive energy, while Dunbar is charged with negative energy. Thomas makes a pair of rings which keeps the energy dormant until they are touched together, at which point the pair gains enhanced strength, speed, and resistance to injury, and the ability to generate different forms of energy. Thomas generates heat, while Dan can generate short burts of electricity. One of their villains is the evil Crime Clown. The series ran through Star-Spangled Comics #23 (August 1943).

The issue's final pages reveal the revised history of Typhoon, including that his powers were created in a "controlled accident" after Drake tested positive for the metagene and he was thereafter enlisted as a government agent, while proving that the Superman Theory was partially true. The Director of the Department of Metahuman Affairs orders that Typhoon's body be retrieved for study.[322]

At times, he has grown larger than a skyscraper when generating a storm system of sufficient strength.[327] Typhoon can change back and forth between his superhuman form and that of David Drake at will.

First appearance | Krypton Chronicles #3 |
---|---|
Aliases | Mistress of the Moons |
Yuda is a fictional goddess in the DC Universe.
The character first appeared in Krypton Chronicles #3.
Yuda is one of the chief deities of ancient Krypton's mythology and pantheon, associated with love and marriage. She also represented the two moons of Krypton and was commonly known as "the Mistress of the Moons". For this reason, when the two moons Mithen and Wegthor came together in the night sky, they were believed to represent marriage.
Her worship ended with the flood, when Jaf-El introduced the monotheistic worship of Rao. However, she was remembered in folklore and even a mechanical statue of her was used in Superman's home city Kryptonopolis at certain festivities.
In other media
A version of Yuda (renamed Yuda Kal) appears in Supergirl, through the human vessel Olivia, portrayed by Sofia Vassilieva. In this depiction, Yuda Kal was a Kryptonian goddess of life and birth worshipped by the Juru, the first people of Krypton, but was soon erased with Rao and the ways of science by modern Krypton, becoming feared as a dark, evil deity. The Kryptonian witches (known as Children of Juru) aimed to revive the ancient religion as a revenge against Rao and put an apocalyptic event of coming darkness on their planet. In tribute to Yuda Kal, the witches made a specific mix of chemicals and magic spells to create the Worldkillers using the Harun-El, a Kryptonian metal with magical properties. The Worldkillers (Reign, Purity and Pestilence) were launched during the final days of Krypton when it exploded, landing on Earth, while their creators escaped the destruction on Argo City, which was separated from its planet (with the exception of Jindah Kol Rozz who was earlier convicted on the prison Fort Rozz and later killed by Reign to protect the Worldkiller's secrets). The witch's aim is to ensure that the dark prophecy is fulfilled, specifically terraforming the planet Earth by Worldkillers to make a New Krypton. This ancient teaching found its way through the religious sect "Cult of Yuda Kal", founded by Thomas Colville, in their belief that Yuda Kal would bring salvation on Earth. After Thomas ended on prison, another member Olivia assumed the leadership. In the season three episode "The Fanatical", using Yuda Kal's recipe documented in Coville's journal, Olivia was able to gain powers through an Harun-El statue of the goddess and briefly turned into a Worldkiller-like vessel with the goal of carrying out Reign's deliverance on Earth, but she is ultimately defeated by Supergirl, stripping her powers and Olivia becoming normal human. The fate of Yuda Kal is unknown, following the disbandment of the Cult, the arrest of all Kryptonian witches and the death of all three Worldkillers.

The Zuggernaut is a supervillain and symbiotic alien life form in the DC Universe.
The character, created by John Ostrander and Joe Brozowski, first appeared in Firestorm the Nuclear Man #69 (March 1988).[343]
Within the context of the stories, the Zuggernaut crashes to Earth as a meteorite in Russia. It was found by, and bonded to, Matvei Rodor, a black marketeer. Rodor is in conflict with a corrupt Moscow prosecutor named Soliony and agrees to the Zuggernaut's offer of help in exchange for being its host.
Returning to Moscow, they attack Soliony, who has been interrogating Mikhail Arkadin. Arkadin summons Firestorm and escapes the jail to find the Zuggernaut threatening Soliony. The Zuggernaut is driven off when Firestorm burns impressions of his hand into their chest.[344]
The Zuggernaut reappears a short time later and allows itself to be captured in order to get to Soliony. Again Firestorm intervenes, creating discord for both the alien and its host.[345] Their fight with Firestorm is interrupted by Stalnoivolk, allowing Rodor to override the Zuggernaut's desire to fight Firestorm and chase after Soliony. They, in turn, are delayed by the Russian super-team Soyuz, allowing Firestorm to catch up and stop them. This results in Rodor being mortally wounded and the Zuggernaut withdrawing to find a new host.[346]
Powers and abilities of the Zuggernaut
When bonded with a host, the Zuggernaut can take the form of a tall, purple alien creature possessing long, sharp claws and fangs. It also has a green gemstone embedded in its forehead which is capable of firing energy beams. The Zuggernaut can also project beams of energy from his eyes and has the ability to leap great distances.
