From All-Star Squadron #2 (October 1981):
Degaton always seemed to me to be a guy trying to punch way above his weight class. He was clever, but nowhere near the genius he fancied himself, weaponizing others innovations to enable his schemes. If he had an outstanding trait, it was sheer, boundless arrogance, but it was enough to make a real threat of himself.
From All-Star Comics #37 (October-November 1947),
and from the version of the story reprinted in 100-Page Super Spectacular #DC-17 (June 1973):
from Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe Vol. XVII (July 1986):
His updated entry from Who's Who Update '88 Vol. 3 (October 1988):
I'm assuming I don't have to really bother with
"SPOILER!!!"
warnings at this point?
Guess who showed up a couple of moths ago in the Stargirl Spring Break Special?
My favorite Degaton is where he just shows up and trolls the JSA about their future. Very menacing
Ah, Degaton, the time-traveling fascist. Forever doomed to forget about the umpteen times he nearly conquered the Earth, and wind up cleaning test tubes for Doctor Zee.
He's great, and I'm happy to see him being used again. In my headcanon, Degaton is the actual true, original identity of Monarch.
