    Character » Despero appears in 271 issues.

    One of the Justice League's oldest foes, Despero was transformed by the Flame of Pytar into a galactic tyrant whose psychic might is matched only by his prowess as a physical juggernaut.

    Which version of Despero do you like best?

    Despero has changed considerably over the years since his first appearance in DC Comics, going from being a clever alien hypnotist to a team breaking mystic powerhouse. Which incarnation of Despero do you guys prefer? The crafty psychic or the musclebound bruiser? Or perhaps a combination of the two?

    His psychic power makes him unique- but I think his physical prowess is necessary for diverse stories. He can't always be mind****ing the JL, there needs to be some variety.

    True, but do you think he should always be team breaker level powerful or should he be powered down somewhat? The Justice League animated version of him had a great rivalry with John Stewart despite not possessing super strength & invulnerability. Don't get me wrong, I like brawler Despero too, but sometimes I wonder if he'd appear more often, partake in more super villain team ups, or get more character development if he wasn't so overwhelmingly powerful, i.e. can beat ups Supes, Wondie, Captain Marvel (not calling him Shazam lol), & Martian Manhunter at the same time lol.
