Despero was a villain for DC Comics, from the planet of Kalanor & master of the Flame of Py’tar (which is how he got his muscle bound look), and specifically one of the big bag guys of the Justice League of America. Created by Gardner Fox & Mike Sekowsky in October 1960. A few weeks ago, the first week of October, R.E.B.E.L.S. Annual #1 gave the new revised origin of Starro and in doing so, the new Starro decapitated & killed Despero. Despero was one of the heavy hitters of the DC Cosmic Universe so that is why him being killed is supposed to tell the fans that this new Starro villain is so power & bad ass. *yawn*
Despero had action figures, revamped character from the Silver Age version of the ear to ear fin Despero to the shark-fin, muscle bound look that became his latest version. Shown in cartoons like Justice League United, Brave & The Bold whereas Starro was in … um… ok well maybe Starro will get a shot & an action figure down the road.
Rest in Peace Despero *sniff* *wipe tearful eye* until an editors meeting decides it is time for a new creative team on Justice League of Future book will bring you back to your former glory. Until then have a good rest.
