Top 43 Most Powerful DC Villains Of All Time

Perpetua stands as the originator of some of DC's most formidable threats, being the mother of the Monitor, Anti-Monitor, and Mobius. As a Super Celestial, she commands an awe-inspiring presence and was appointed by the Judges of the Source to construct an entire multiverse.

Unlike most, Perpetua sought to design a universe trapped in perpetual cycles of conflict and renewal. Her power makes her arguably the most dominant entity within the DC Omniverse, granting her the ability to reshape reality itself. She can traverse time and space, even glimpsing possible futures.

If these extraordinary abilities aren’t staggering enough, Perpetua can expand her size dramatically and possesses the power to read the minds of other beings. Her psychic capabilities allow her to send whispers throughout the Multiverse, ensuring she remains aware of distant thoughts and events.

With such overwhelming powers and influence, Perpetua truly earns her reputation as one of the most powerful DC villains to ever exist.

Nekron is the living embodiment of death and darkness across the DC Universe. He first captured fans’ attention by effortlessly overpowering The Spectre, one of DC’s most formidable entities. Commanding the dreaded Black Lantern armies, Nekron has the terrifying ability to raise countless beings from the grave and bend them to his will.

Driven solely by a desire to unleash cosmic destruction, Nekron's devastating potential was magnificently showcased in the landmark "Blackest Night" storyline from Green Lantern comics. His immense might shielded him from the Anti-Monitor’s attacks, and after a brief struggle, he was able to banish this cosmic rival back to his own universe.

Feared for the lethal touch that kills anyone who dares approach, Nekron possesses power that far surpasses the Anti-Monitor and most villains in DC lore. In addition to resurrecting the dead with a single touch, he can channel bolts of black lightning and increase in size without limitation.

It’s no wonder Nekron is often described as the most powerful manifestation of darkness and death ever to haunt the DC Universe.

The Anti-Monitor stands as one of the most formidable and immortal villains across the entire DC multiverse, relentlessly driven by a desire to obliterate all life. Commanding unparalleled control over the Antimatter Universe, his influence and threat know no bounds.

As the malevolent counterpart and polar opposite of his brother, the Monitor, the Anti-Monitor wields unimaginable power—capable of annihilating entire universes. To pursue his apocalyptic goals, he creates armies by transforming beings into his dreaded Shadow Demons, leading them with terrifying authority.

Nearly invincible in battle, the Anti-Monitor can withstand assaults from countless heroes and possesses the terrifying ability to manipulate reality, matter, and energy on a cosmic scale whenever it suits him.

Fueled by unquenchable rage and a murderous drive, his singular obsession is the destruction of all life and positive matter throughout the multiverse.

It’s crucial to remember his infamous role in orchestrating the catastrophic events of Crisis on Infinite Earths—one of the darkest chapters in DC history.

Mongul stands out as one of the most formidable villains in Superman's vast rogues' gallery. Few foes have managed to claim repeated victories against the Man of Steel and even challenge other Justice League members, as Mongul has done.

As the tyrannical ruler of Warworld, Mongul has made a lasting impact on the DC Universe. Over the years, his character has grown more complex, with his mythos expanding across numerous comic arcs.

Legendary for his sheer strength, Mongul has demonstrated the ability to effortlessly rip apart opponents, go toe-to-toe with Superman, survive encounters with Doomsday, and even defeat a New God.

This galactic conqueror took center stage as the chief antagonist in "For the Man Who Has Everything," a story considered among the finest ever written for Superman.

Driven by boundless ambition and cruelty, Mongul thrives on the suffering of others, making him a relentless and unforgettable DC villain.

Darkseid stands as one of the most enduring and formidable figures within the DC Universe. Known as the God of Tyranny, he reigns with an iron fist over the planet Apokolips, embodying relentless cruelty and domination. Despite conquering countless worlds, his obsession with discovering the Anti-Life Equation drives him onward, seeking ultimate power to subjugate every living being.

Widely considered among the most powerful DC villains, Darkseid is both immortal and nearly invincible. He commands vast armies and envisions reshaping all life according to his twisted ideals. Infamous for spreading terror and hatred across the cosmos, he also wields devastating abilities—such as firing Omega Beams from his eyes that can track and obliterate targets, making him almost impossible to confront directly.

Trigon, one of the DC Universe's most formidable villains, was born thousands of years ago to a sect of pacifists in the mystical dimension of Azarath. His vast, otherworldly power set him apart as a threat of cosmic scale from his very first moments.

Trigon demonstrated his terrifying might immediately after birth, wiping out everyone in the room—including his own mother. This act marked the beginning of his relentless campaign of domination over entire worlds.

He is perhaps best known as the father of Raven, the half-demon member of the Teen Titans, whom he conceived with an Earth woman. Ultimately, Trigon's overwhelming arrogance proved to be his undoing, leading to his defeat at the hands of his own daughter.

Superboy-Prime stands out as one of the most formidable villains in the DC Universe, matching Superman's legendary powers and abilities. Although he originally longed for a peaceful existence in a "Paradise Dimension," deep homesickness led him down a much darker path.

As frustration with his fate grew, Superboy-Prime embraced his vast superhuman strength, speed, and reality-shattering power. He soon emerged as an overwhelming foe, more than a match for even the strongest heroes and villains.

Notorious for absorbing Shazam's powers, Superboy-Prime wears a unique suit of armor that amplifies his abilities by channeling the energy of Earth's yellow sun, making him one of the most dangerous adversaries in DC lore.

Step aside for Reverse-Flash, a villain whose ruthlessness and relentless pursuit of The Flash make him a truly formidable foe. Drawing tremendous power from the Speed Force, he not only surpasses the speed of light but can also manipulate time itself—reversing events or erasing them entirely. Such abilities make him one of the most terrifying threats in the DC Universe.

Every incarnation of Reverse-Flash across comics and media exhibits exceptional intelligence, fueled by his mastery of both past and future knowledge. As a genetically engineered sociopath with a brilliant mind, he stands out as a villain whose cunning and power are matched only by his deep obsession with the Scarlet Speedster.

Eclipso, possessing the formidable Heart of Darkness, commands a power that rivals nearly any foe. This mystical gem grants him the terrifying ability to dominate minds and harness the abilities of others, making him a nearly unstoppable force in the DC universe.

An eternal and chilling entity, Eclipso is the living embodiment of God's wrath. With reality-bending abilities on a cosmic scale, his powers approach those of a deity, allowing him to reshape the very fabric of existence as he wishes.

Additionally, Eclipso is well-known for his classic confrontation with Peacemaker and the Checkmate team in the 1990s—a storyline that would translate brilliantly to the DCEU, offering thrilling possibilities for future cinematic adaptations.

Although the Joker lacks traditional superhuman abilities, his influence stems from his unpredictable and ruthless nature. Widely recognized as the most iconic DC villain, the Joker’s enduring appeal is not just that he is Batman’s greatest adversary, but that his enigmatic character has deeply resonated with audiences across generations.

Joker’s captivating mix of charm and terror, coupled with a murky and compelling origin, makes him uniquely fascinating. His power lies in his unmatched ability to manipulate, deceive, and psychologically torment both his enemies and allies, setting him apart from other villains in Gotham’s underworld.

Perhaps most chilling is the profound psychological harm he inflicts on characters such as Harley Quinn and Jason Todd, proving that one does not need superpowers to be considered among the most formidable and haunting foes in the DC universe.

Parallax is an ancient and nearly immortal cosmic entity, representing the living embodiment of fear in the DC Universe. Its terrifying ability to instill overwhelming fear and manipulate the minds of its enemies has made it a persistent threat, challenging even the most courageous heroes.

With the power to shape matter and energy on a grand, cosmic level, Parallax can easily control superheroes such as Superman and Wonder Woman. As a being composed of pure energy, it crafts light-based constructs so realistic that they can easily deceive even the keenest observers.

Despite its vast power, Parallax has one significant vulnerability: willpower. Because it feeds on fear, pure and unyielding willpower serves as its natural counter and greatest weakness.

Ares, the formidable God of War in the DC Universe, stands as one of Wonder Woman’s most relentless and dangerous foes. Possessing immortality and godlike powers, he is able to traverse dimensions and orchestrate large-scale conflict wherever he goes.

Ares thrives on chaos, growing stronger every time he incites war or strife among mortals. His strength and endurance are superhuman, making him a terrifying adversary even among gods. Additionally, he wields the power to manipulate the elements, shaping battles to his advantage.

With his Olympian heritage, Ares commands not only immense physical prowess but also dark mystical abilities. As a skilled necromancer, he can even raise the dead, cementing his place among the most powerful and fearsome villains in the DC pantheon.

Solomon Grundy is unlike any other zombie in the DC Universe. This "immortal" undead villain is notorious for being resurrected on Mondays and returning to the grave by Saturday, endlessly repeating his cycle of death and rebirth.

Even the most formidable superhero teams struggle to defeat him, as Grundy’s true identity remains a mystery and his unique power of endless resurrection makes him nearly impossible to eliminate permanently.

What truly sets Solomon Grundy apart is how his abilities and personality shift each time he's revived. Sometimes, he displays an almost innocent, childlike demeanor, while at other times, he becomes shockingly malevolent and dangerous.

In addition to his remarkable regenerative powers, Grundy can absorb and manipulate various forms of energy—and even detach and reattach his limbs at will, making him a deeply unpredictable and formidable adversary.

Black Adam, recently brought to life in the DC Extended Universe by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, is a formidable antihero known for his ruthless nature and lack of remorse regarding his actions.

He possesses extraordinary powers, including immense strength, speed, and agility, and is capable of flying at speeds exceeding light when in space. Many of his abilities parallel those of his well-known rival, Shazam, as both characters draw power from ancient Egyptian gods.

By uttering a magical word, Black Adam can summon the gods to imbue him with their powers and grant him profound wisdom and knowledge, making him not just powerful, but exceptionally intelligent in battle.

Poison Ivy, originally known as Dr. Pamela Isley, was once a brilliant botanist whose life took a transformative turn following a laboratory accident. This incident granted her the extraordinary power to control and cultivate plants, effectively making her the living embodiment of Mother Nature.

Mainly operating in Gotham City, Ivy fiercely defends the natural world, targeting anyone who threatens the environment. When she’s not championing her cause or challenging Batman, she often tries to persuade her close friend Harley Quinn to break free from Joker’s toxic influence.

As an avatar of The Green, Poison Ivy’s powers have evolved to bestow near-immortality. She has died and miraculously resurrected from the earth, proving her deep connection to nature.

Highly intelligent and ambitious, Pamela Isley excelled academically, topping her college classes before embarking on her villainous path.

Circe stands out as one of the most formidable magical forces in the DC Universe, recognized for her vast mystical abilities. Her power to shape and alter reality itself places her among the top magical beings in comic book lore. In certain storylines, she has even transformed herself into Wonder Woman, showcasing her unparalleled magical prowess.

As an immortal, Circe is largely invulnerable to typical physical assaults, making her a persistent threat to heroes. Her ability to resurrect the dead—rivaling the likes of the Greek god Ares—further amplifies her already impressive repertoire of supernatural skills.

Moreover, Circe can turn ordinary people into creatures known as Beastimorphs, over whom she exerts complete control. This unique talent allows her to command armies of transformed beings, making her influence both formidable and far-reaching in the DC Universe.

Larfleeze, known as the leader of the Orange Lantern Corps, is uniquely the sole wielder of an orange power ring in the DC Universe—a ring he once stole from the Guardians of the Universe’s Power Battery.

This immortal being, famous for his insatiable greed and incredible sense of smell, is notorious for his thieving prowess. Unlike other Lanterns, Larfleeze draws limitless power from the orange lantern without ever needing to recharge or physically wear the ring.

Remarkably, Larfleeze himself acts as a living battery for the Orange Lantern. The ring’s power enables him to create numerous avatars, each representing a creature he has defeated, thereby expanding his formidable strength and influence across the cosmos.

The Time Trapper is a formidable DC villain, first appearing as a mysterious warlord and the perennial nemesis of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Dwelling at the End of Time, he wields nearly limitless control over the flow and fabric of time itself.

Throughout his complicated history, the Time Trapper has clashed with various super-powered teams, constantly reinventing himself. He has taken on different forms, including that of a Controller, the young girl Lori Morning, and even the villainous incarnation of Superboy-Prime.

Blessed with a host of astonishing abilities, the Time Trapper can reshape reality, as well as utilize flight, telepathy, and telekinesis. His resilience is legendary—no matter how many times he is defeated, he always finds a way to return and threaten the universe once more.

Grail, the formidable daughter of Darkseid and Myrina, was born at the same time as Princess Diana. Marked by tragedy and prophecy, she and her mother became the first Amazons to depart from Themyscira after Myrina committed the fateful act of killing the oracle Menalippe.

Legend foretold that Grail would one day wage war against her own father, Darkseid, with the devastating Anti-Monitor by her side—unleashing untold chaos and destruction. As the offspring of an Amazonian warrior and a New God, Grail possesses an extraordinary combination of powers from both her lineages.

Sharing many superhuman traits with Princess Diana, Grail boasts incredible speed, stamina, strength, durability, and even immortality. What truly sets her apart, however, are her mystical abilities—she can wield magic to summon and resurrect the dead, and traverse dimensions with ease.

Vandal Savage stands out as one of the most formidable villains in DC history, having assumed the identities of infamous figures like Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, and Jack the Ripper. His centuries of experience and unmatched cunning make him an enduring and menacing presence throughout the ages.

Gifted with immortality and exceptional regenerative abilities, Savage lives up to his name by relentlessly pursuing power and influence. He shapes world events from the shadows, leaving an indelible mark on human civilization in the DC universe.

Utilizing his genius-level intellect, Vandal Savage has orchestrated strategies that have helped conquerors and emperors achieve dominance. However, his ambitions have also led to repeated confrontations with heroic groups, most notably the Justice Society of America.

The seemingly indestructible Doomsday is one of the evilest Superman villains to have ever gone one on one with the incredible Man of Steel. In fact, his superhuman strength proved a bit too much for the mighty Superman as he went on to kill him in hand-to-hand combat in the Death of Superman storyline from the early 1990s.

Needless to mention, the surprising finale was lauded by fans as the best Superman comic book arc ever. Unfortunately for his rivals and enemies, Doomsday possesses an extraordinary healing factor that makes him essentially immune to any attack, no matter who the adversary is.

Therefore, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to claim that even death seems unable to stop him from coming back to torment the Man of Steel time and again.

The insanely smart Ra's al Ghul, whose name translates into the Head of the Demon, has managed to cheat death multiple times through the use of the Lazarus Pits. One of Batman's most formidable villains, he is incredibly skilled and is powered by his knowledge, wealth, and resources; each of which makes him a threat of remarkable international influence.

While his mystical powers also allow him to transfer his soul into other bodies, his true strength lies in the Lazarus Pit, which allows him to elongate his life and effectively become immortal. Ghul runs the League of Assassins.

The first thing that one needs to know about Imperiex is that he has the power to induce the Big Bang. As we all know, the Big Bang Theory is the idea that the universe began at just a single point, then expanded and stretched to grow.

However, get this: Imperiex, besides being powerful enough to reset the Universe back to its beginning, can also create Black Holes to suck up entire universes and consume planets. Thriving on his superhuman strength, durability, and stamina, he can project blasts of energy that could kill the strongest of opponents within the blink of an eye.

General Zod may have been the leader of the military defense for the Kryptonian Science Council, but he double-crossed them after having realized that they were fibbing to him about the unavoidable destruction of the planet Krypton.

So, after the imminent destruction of Krypton, he and his compatriots would be freed from the Phantom Zone and would, eventually, go on to wreak havoc on Earth and Metropolis.

Needless to say, the aforementioned events would make him one of Superman's main foes. Surprisingly, Zod shares quite a few of his strengths and weaknesses with Superman, who is, unquestionably, one of the most powerful beings in the entire DC Universe.

Barbatos is an immortal being who is one of the newer threats to the DC Multiverse. The World Forge was a place where new worlds and universes were born, and the Forger had an enormous dragon whom he used to devastate erratic worlds known as Barbatos.

However, Barbatos, who knows nothing better than death and destruction, slew his master and watched as the World Forge grew dark. Also, he has a loose connection to Batman and the Wayne family and is known to have led the invasion of the Dark Multiverse.

One of DC's most iconic villains, Starro was seen making his much-awaited feature film debut in The Suicide Squad. In the comics, he was the first villain that the Justice League ever faced, which goes on to say a lot about the significance of the one-eyed alien starfish in the DC Universe.

Since he is an alien conqueror, he can reproduce smaller copies of himself, each potent enough to take control of the host they attach themselves. This, ultimately, goes on to make him bigger.

Needless to say, this massive alien conqueror is both a physically and psychologically destructive foe, who can kill anyone he takes control of.

Steppenwolf is one of those rare serious threats who was able to bring the entire Justice League together. Hailing from the hellish planet Apokolips, the villain is supposed to have arrived on Earth to recover the powerful Motherboxes.

However, he was forced to face Batman, The Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Wonder Woman. Even though the aforementioned superheroes proved to be a deterrent, Steppenwolf managed to hold his own until the resurrection of Superman.

In Zack Snyder's finished version, which comprised a deeper backstory for the frightening being, he was seen spectacularly thrashing the Amazonians.

Brainiac, who is sometimes known as Milton Fine, was a Coluan scientist on the planet Colu. He is an extraterrestrial cyborg known for his high-level intellect. He went on to become an archnemesis of Superman after having encountered him while shrinking cities with a shrink ray.

His ultimate aim was to replenish the planet he ruled, Bryak, by shrinking and stealing cities from as many different planets as possible. Not long after, he would be seen joining forces with the super-smart Lex Luthor to take down Superman.

However, the flip side here is that the two also continued to frequently deceive and betray each other. That said, one of Brainiac’s major shortcomings is that he seems to be too dependent on technology.

Doctor Destiny is a criminal scientist who can see and create people's dreams with the Materioptikon, a stone used by Dream of the Endless. Two versions of this Justice League villain have been adapted for live-action, one of which is John Dee (The Sandman).

Dee has the Dreamstone, which not only helps in protecting him but also in manipulating and taking control of others. Doctor Destiny's psychologically and physically disturbing powers make one wonder how the likes of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman would fare against him in a one-on-one battle.

Quite possibly the most tragic and relatable of the incredible villains for Batman, Mr. Freeze, who is also known as Victor Fries, worked hard to save his terminally ill wife when a cryogenics accident occurred.

So, his body temperature was lowered to sub-zero levels, which, of course, required a cryogenic suit to survive. It barely matters if he is robbing a bank or aiding another villain, it is mainly to find a permanent cure for his suffering better half.

In fact, trust us when we say that no other villain makes us weep for his lot in life like Mr. Freeze.

Deathstroke the Terminator is an elite mercenary, who is widely considered to be the world's greatest and deadliest assassin. An expert tactician and possibly the best hand-to-hand fighter in all of the DC Universe, he has been a frequent adversary of the Teen Titans, Outsiders, and even Batman.

Since Deathstroke is merciless and often works for something bigger and worse hiding in the shadows, he can always be a challenging fight. But, whether he can beat Batman in a one-on-one fight or not is best left to the DC editors to decide.

The one important thing that you need to know about this villain is that he didn't gain immortality through a meteor or god-like powers but through science. That is one reason why he's been able to bother DC's superheroes since the first volume of Action Comics.

Once known as Gerard Shugel, he has perfected a scientific procedure that allows him to transfer his brain into another body without any potential damage whatsoever. Of late, he's been seen placing his brain in the albino gorillas, which, of course, only adds to his powers.

Those who are familiar with Batman and his stories are obviously going to be familiar with Bane and his abnormal physical strength. Best known as "The Man Who Broke the Bat" for having literally broken The Caped Crusader's back, his strength is a result of having undergone experiments involving a derivative of the drug Venom.

An international super-criminal of high intellect, Bane has caused unprecedented destruction in his violent pursuit of power. The moment he set his sights on Gotham City, he went on to become one of Batman's worst enemies.

Krona was a scientist and was, therefore, always concerned with learning as much as he could about the galaxy and its origin of it. However, his knowledge led to him gaining a ton of power, which, in turn, ended up corrupting him.

Since he desired to see the beginning of time, he created a machine that allowed him to peer through it. Little was he aware of the fact that his interference can cause the DC Universe to shatter into the Multiverse; thus, leading to the inception of evil.

Krona, who was then forced to wander the galaxy forever as a punishment, understands the universe in a way that most will never.

One of Superman's arch rivals and a genius, ego-centric Metropolis businessman, Lex Luthor has been around for a long time. All thanks to his company LexCorp, and scientifically advanced Warsuit, he has been able to serve as both an antagonist and ally to Superman and the Justice League over the years.

One of Lex's main concerns is that humanity is a bit too dependent on superpowered people like Superman, who, he believes, are weakening people's ability to defend themselves. Since he is wealthy, genius, and morally corrupt, he takes this genuine concern and twists it to Machiavellian ends.

In fact, he is even willing to sacrifice innocent lives just to prove that he is right. Needless to mention, Luthor is everything that is wrong with humanity, which, ultimately, makes him one of the best DC villains.

There can be no arguments about the fact that Sinestro is the greatest foe of Green Lantern. But, he is also one of Hal Jordan's mentors, a leader of the Green Lantern Corps, and a hero in his own right.

While he was exactly the kind of person Hal wanted to be, it was later seen that Sinestro began to prioritize power over selflessness and fear over will. Needless to say, his eventual and inevitable fall from grace was devastating, to say the least.

That said, he does serve as a mirror of what any Green Lantern could become sans vigilance, conscience, and wisdom.

Over time, we have realized that the best DC villains are often the chief antagonist of the best DC heroes. This is done to make their eventual battles come off as thrilling and eventful.

So, it is only obvious that the beloved Wonder Woman finds a consistent enemy in Cheetah. Cheetah, who is imbued with feline reflexes, heightened speed and strength, and sharp claws, is as selfish as they come.

Needless to say, her self-indulgent and selfish deeds pit her directly against Wonder Woman, who is known for her selflessness and heroism.

Lobo is the best bounty hunter in the known universe and the last Czarnian. He is known for his colorful speech and rapid regeneration and has been a nuisance and a threat in equal measure.

A badass and colorful bounty hunter, the ultra-violent being was born on the planet Czarnia. It is critical to mention that he killed every other member of his race for a high school science experiment and then ended up giving himself a solid "A" on the assignment.

Aside from his strength, what makes Lobo a formidable being is his accelerated healing that can regenerate his entire body from even a single cell. He may have a sadistic and vulgar attitude but is never known to have broken his word.

As we know it, the seductive Catwoman was originally characterized as a supervillain and adversary of Batman. Over time, she established herself as an antiheroine, often with a utilitarian moral philosophy.

While she is known to have begun as a simple cat burglar, she soon went on to be portrayed as a regular love interest, ally, and occasional foil to Batman.

Part of Catwoman's charm lies in the fact that she is as enigmatic as a character can be in the DC Universe, or even otherwise. So, whenever you get to catch her in a story, be sure that things are going to get a tad complicated.

A fine friend of Poison Ivy and Joker's loyal girlfriend, Harley Quinn has gone on to establish herself as a much sought-after villain today and has become a permanent member of the rich universe of Batman.

Comic book fans might well be aware of the fact that she teeters back and forth between hero and villain. While she lacks bonafide superhuman powers, she does have immunity from toxins thanks to Poison Ivy.

Characterized by her unwavering spirit and her ability to talk others down, Quinn is acrobatic and has commendable fighting skills.

An imp who hails from the 5th Dimension, Mr. Mxyzptlk doesn't really follow the rules of the mainstream DC Universe since it is set in the 3rd Dimension. However, while he is in the 3rd Dimension, he can warp reality and bend time to his will without even having second thoughts about it.

Fortunately for us, Mr. Mxyzptlk isn't all that interested in dimensional-wide conquest. In fact, he is mostly seen pulling pranks and jokes on others, including Superman. Here's a tip: if you wish to defeat him, get him to say or spell his name backward. That'll get the job done for you.

While most of the antagonists in the DC Universe possess amazing superpowers, some like Amanda Waller thrive on their human power. Often seen pulling the strings of government and taking important decisions, she directs the Suicide Squad and is a specialist who oversees research into metahumans.

Her startling appearance is often more than enough to convince the viewers and readers that there might just be a bigger, darker scheme in place that our heroes aren't even aware of.

This powerful sentient entity is best known as the companion to the Legion's ruthless foe, the Emerald Empress. Even though it is not very popular among the masses, its owner certainly is.

This Legion of Super-Heroes villain may have been the same person for years, but the Eye can pretty much choose who it wants. While it bonded to galactic police officer Garryn Bek during the run of L. E. G. I. O. N, it was seen choosing another person to take the role of Empress in the 2009 Legion of Super-Heroes run.
