One of, if not the most, powerful and deadly foes the Justice League have ever faced, Despero started life as a freak - an outcast - due to being born with a third eye. It was this eye, though, that eventually led to his bathing in the Flame of Py'tar, a power-giving source on his native planet Kalanor. Despero soon enslaved the planet, only to have it freed from his rule by the League.

This event led to the birth of Despero's all-consuming hatred of the League, the single focus of his existance now being to destroy them - to the point that his hatred allowed for him to survive death and regenerate his body through sheer willpower.

One of the League's brutalist battles with him was outside the United Nations Building in New York. Wearing the tattered remains of the U.N. flag as a cape into battle, Despero easily defeated the League, with only a last ditch mental projection from the Martian Manhunter fooling him into thinking he had destroyed not only the League, but all life on Earth. Finally releasing the hatred he carried, Despero reverted back into a fetus and was claimed by the Intersteller Trader Magna Khan.

But it wasn't to last...



Despero is a House of M Hulk with a severly dremeled down chin(Seriously - why it it so huge?). A Savage Dragon crest is sculpted onto his head, along with his third eye and fingernails. Belt is also milliputted. I went with his older orangeypink skin rather than the newer purple version that's cropped up since his appearance in the JL cartoon. His axe weapon is a repainted thing from my kibble boxes.
