Gorgon

History

Gorgon was a supervillain and a member of the Extremists on the world of Angor . Gorgon and the Extremists, except for Dreamslayer , died on Angor after the group caused a nuclear holocaust on their planet.

Gorgon was later "resurrected" as a robot along with the dead Extremists by Dreamslayer, and attempted to take over Earth until being stopped by Justice League Europe . The Extremists robots were then exhibited in Madame Clouseau's Wax Museum in Paris. They were later used by Dreamslayer a second time on the island of Kooey Kooey Kooey , and still later as pawns of Twilight in a battle with Supergirl.

A statue of Gorgon was kept in the Villains Gallery on the Justice League' s moon base.
