Cosmic DC Villains You Think Deserve More Love

[Green Goblin of Sector 2814]

Just curious. I mean, everyone who is a DC or general comic book fan already knows about Darkseid, the Anti-Monitor, Sinestro, Brainiac, and even Mongul. Though I still think the last of those four needs a little extra push. But, what are some cosmic-level beings/villains from DC lore that you think really need to be given a chance to shine?

For me, it has to be: (again) Mongul; Krona; Zazzala Queen Bee (she has potential to be one of the main cosmic DCU villains); and, last but not least...Starbreaker.

I always used to say EVIL STAR - he's from another world, he's powered by the stars, he has enough power to destroy a world, (he destroyed his own world) and he has those creepy little Starlings minions. He could have been brought to a more prominent position the way other GL villains like Eclipso and Black Hand were brought into modern times with a much more dangerous powerset. Alas, he was just in "The Green Lantern" and .... things didn't go well for him

[K7P5V]

Definitely Atrocitus of the Red Lantern Corps.

I kinda like Imperiex, both in his totally-not-Galactus form and in his cartoon form. I think he could be used more.

Also, Imperiex is just a really great name!

[Zero Hunter]

Desparo. The dude is just a flat out beast who can take on the whole League by himself.

[Jim Kelly]

Mongul, Grax, Maxima, Blackfire, Starbreaker, Kanjar Ro, the Galactic Golem, the Superman Revenge Squad, the Psions.

This might be my pick as well, and Mongul should get some love also. Always liked Queen Bee but is she cosmic?

I would have love to see Evil Star be given more gravity as a villain.

The starlings are an interesting power set. I hope that 2e have'nt seen the last of him.

Good list. All of these villains have been able to take on the Justice League single handedly. I'd add Wonder Woman villain Saturna/Eviless to the list. She should be able to give the JLA a run for their money too.

[Güicho]

Appellaxian elemental warriors, whose invasion lead to the creation of the Justice League.





Despero.

Trying to usurp the New Gods drama for the JL origin, instead of developing what they already have, has left their origin a disjointed inconsistent mess.

So, what should be the method to bring these guys into the spotlight? Simply increased appearances in issues of Justice League? Or should DC invest in a wide, sweeping almost Marvel-esque space opera with these guys front and center as the main villains?

[SiegePerilous02]

Blackfire, the Superman Revenge Squad, Lady Styx, and the denizens of Ysmault beyond Atrocitus and the Red Lanterns.

I think it's the name 'Evil Star' that's holding him back. It sounds so...childish.


If he was called the Auronian, or something like that, he might be taken more seriously. Like you said, he has a good power-set.
