Upon emigrating to Gotham City while developing the ability to emit electromagnetic light, she fell in with some gangs and took parts in robberies before being stopped by the local vigilantes and remanded to Arkham Asylum. To reunite with his daughter after some villains he knew saw Allegra, Wavelength hired Deathstroke and his version of the Titans to spring her out of Arkham Asylum, fighting through Batman and some of Arkham Asylum's inmates when they tried to escape. When the mission was a success, Deathstroke's Titans brought her to Brazil, where Allegra lashed out against her father for abandoning her and used the UV rays in the sky to fry him. Deathstroke declined Allegra's offer to join up with him, stating that she has a lot of growing up to do.[10]

Garguax

[edit]

Garguax is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. He is a mammoth-sized alien conqueror who was exiled from his home planet for his plans to conquer the universe. He came to Earth and invaded it with an army of Plastic Men. Mento found his ship and encountered him as he learned his backstory. When Mento didn't want to help Garguax with his goals, Garguax used his technology to brainwash him. After the Doom Patrol freed Mento from his mind-control, they fought Garguax. The Doom Patrol destroyed the ship which seemingly killed Garguax.[15]

Garguax later appeared as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil alongside General Immortus when they unleashed a Giant Jukebox Robot.[16] Garguax pitches an idea to the Brotherhood of Evil to take over Earth. General Immortus supported his idea as he uses a device to turn anyone into diamond-skinned slaves that obey the Brotherhood of Evil's commands.[17]

Garguax was with the Brotherhood of Evil when Madame Rouge planned to discredit Mento before his wedding to Elasti-Girl. Chief figures out the Rouge and the Doom Patrol caused the Brotherhood of Evil to retreat.[18]

Following the Doom Patrol's apparent death, Garguax creates a giant android called Mandred to attack Chief and Beast Boy.[19] When the Doom Patrol turns up alive as Brain tries to attack Chief, the Brotherhood of Evil manages to get away as Brain remotely broadcasts solar energy to revive Mandred.[20]

The claims that Garguax made about being exiled from his homeworld were false as he turned out to be an agent of his homeworld's ruler Zarox-13. Garguax betrayed the Brotherhood of Evil after Zarox-13 arrived on Earth and worked with the Doom Patrol to stop him.[21][22]

During the Invasion! storyline, Garguax helps the Doom Patrol defend Earth from the eponymous Dominator invasion while secretly planning to take over Earth himself.[23] Following the end of the alien invasion, Garguax resumed his plans to try to destroy the Doom Patrol before they obliterate him.[24]

Garn Daanuth is a fictional supervillain introduced in Warlord #62 (July 1982). His character is the major antagonist in both Arion, Lord of Atlantis and Arion the Immortal titles, serving as Arion's arch-enemy. He is affiliated with the Lords of Chaos, originally stated to be one of their agents. Later and modern revisions of the character instead mention him as a genuine Lord of Chaos. In the DC Universe, he serves as a prominent evil figure in ancient Atlantis's history and the former ruler of Mu, whose people culturally resemble ancient Egyptians. He is also alleged to be an ancestor of the Titans hero, Tempest (formerly Aqualad)[28] and a distant relative to significant DC characters such as Aquaman, Ocean Master, and Zatanna through his brother's bloodline.

Fictional history

[edit]

The eldest twin of Arion and son of Majistra and Calculha, he was instead raised by Majistra within the city-state of Mu. Taught black magic by his mother, Majistra raised him in accordance of a prophecy regarding two brothers in eternal conflict over the fate of Atlantis as an agent of the Lords of Chaos. Garn would gain a rivalry with Arion when his sacrifice of usurping the Zodiac Crystals from Majistra seemingly caused her death and bleached his skin, a reminder of his path as a dark sorcerer compared to Arion's light path and practice of white magic. Gaining a strong hatred for him, Garn would not learn of their true familial connection until centuries later and took over his mother's position as the leading figure of Mu, consolidating his wealth and sorcerous powers. Other stories mention that he was also an ally of Vandal Savage, helping Garn in his goal to undermine the ancient Atlantean government as a member of the Brotherhood of Light, the precursor to Savage's Illuminati secret society.[29]

In the Arion, Lord of Atlantis title, Garn was responsible for various atrocities in ancient Atlantean history, including invasions of other city-states, destroying the physical body of Calculha, his mind-control plot to usurp Arion's position as Lord High Mage driving a mentally damage D'Tilluh to commit suicide and a traumatized Wyynde becoming unresponsive, and the eradication of the Wyynde's tribe, the people of Khe-Wannantu.[30] He was characterized often as a feared figure considered a genuine god. He also made a limited appearance in Warlord, revealed to be the ancestor of Aoife, whom was bestowed a major source of his power, Garn's circlet. Despite her evil legacy, she sided with Travis Morgan and used the powers bestowed from it for benevolent reasons. Although the image of Garn in his circlet (containing his will and personality) disapproved, he nevertheless stated his descendants are able to do whatever they pleased with their inherited power. In the Arion the Immortal series, it is detailed that after the destruction of Atlantis, Garn would relocate eventually into the Middle East and with his immortality but lack of powers, pose as a dictator of a small Middle Eastern army. When his magical abilities returned, he used them to bolster his forces until he was stopped by Arion.[31]

A magical manifestation of his power appears in the Young Justice comic title as a genie-like being known as Bedlam He is eventually defeated by both the Young Justice team and later by Impulse using time travel to deprive him of his magic.

Joan Garrick

[edit]

Joan Garrick is a fictional character from DC Comics, a supporting character and romantic interest of Jay Garrick / The Flash.

The character was created by Gardner Fox and Harry Lampert, and first appeared in Flash Comics #1 (January 1940). She appeared in the cover alongside the Flash on the issue. She would remain the supporting character of the titular character throughout the Golden Age, and she was revived through the Silver Age in "Flash of Two Worlds", where she is revealed to be a part of Earth-Two.[34][35][36][37][38]

Joan Williams was depicted as the college crush of Jay who Joan originally rejected. Later, Jay used speedster powers as a football star to impress Joan and later decided to be a superhero known as the Flash. The Flash helped Joan when the former's father was kidnapped. She would remain a girlfriend and confidante to the Flash.[39][40] Unlike Lois Lane and Superman, Joan was always aware of the Flash's secret identity.[41] The events of Crisis on Infinite Earths reconnected both Jay and Joan and the entire Keystone City citizens as being in a coma until Barry Allen revived the two. The couple ultimately married, and Jay retired from the Justice Society of America for a while until later returning to the group.[42][43]

Joan was described as an essential part of the Golden Age Flash's life in later decades by Mark Ginnochio of Comicbook.com.[44] Joan and Jay's marriage is cited as being "among the most popular of DC's earliest married characters" by Vaneta Rogers of Newsarama.[43] Jim Beard in the book The Flash Companion wrote positively of the character's depiction by Sheldon Mayer which he felt was an example of "strong females" at the time. John Wells, in the same book, compared Gardner Fox's deriving of the character to other works of characters like Dian Belmont of Sandman, Inza Cramer of Doctor Fate and Shiera Hall of Hawkman that the female romantic interests were not just lovers but also confidantes of their respective superheroes as depicted at the time.[45]

In "The New Golden Age", it was revealed that Joan and Jay had a child named Judy Garrick (also known as Boom) before she mysteriously vanished.[46] In reality, the Time Masters had kidnapped her in an attempt to save her from being killed by Doctor Manhattan's alterations to the timeline, and she is eventually recovered and transported to the present day.[47]
