Deathspawn - Earth 2 - Earth 2 (2012)

The son of Apokolips and the unnamed martian who would take on the mantle of Death, Deathspawn killed his mother as he was born, tearing through her stomach.

Although new to the world, he had already mastered speech, capable of speaking English. He had inherited his mother's abilities, as well as abilities of his own that were capable of destroying worlds.

Following his assault on the Parliament of Earth and diving into the core of the Earth, Deathspawn completed his primary mission and "seeded" the planet. He returned to the surface to admire his handiwork as the planet began to change around him.


"Grounded"

Whilst heroes were either missing or presumed dead, Deathspawn set about terraforming the planet into a source of energy for Apokolips. By the time Commander Sato of the World Army could assemble and mobilise a team to counter the Apokoliptian drill heading towards the surface of the Earth, he had destroyed numerous cities and covered a large percentage of the globe in "molten metal".

A New God/Martian hybrid, Deathspawn was the son of Death and Darkseid who was born in the final days of Earth 2.

He had the power to poison the world and transmute both organic and inorganic matter into molten metal.


"Rebirth"

Following the defeat of his mother and her fellow Furies, Deathspawn erupted from her chest, killing Death as he proclaimed that he had been born to conquer the planet in the name of his father and Apokolips. Stating that the heroes were beneath him, he easily withstood a combined assault before burying deep into the ground, travelling towards the Parliament of Earth and the source of the Avatars power.


"Run"

Succeeding the seemingly impossible and breaching the Parliament Enclave - a place with no physical location tangible to the planet - Deathspawn set about attacking the Red, Grey, White and the Blue, physically hurting their Avatars on the planet's surface as he went on his rampage. Turning his attention to the Green, he grabbed them by the throat as they made an urgent plea for Green Lantern to help save them.


"The Last Gasp"

Deathspawn was attacked by Green Lantern and his ring, forcing him to drop the Green and fight their Avatar. As he grabbed Alan, he roared that he would use his powers to seed the planet and make Earth an energy source for Apokolips, throwing him to the ground. Leaving the Parliament for dead, he tunnelled deeper through the mantle and towards the core.

Glinda - Once Upon a Time Season Three (2013)

Known as the Good Witch of the South, Glinda was a powerful mage in Oz, forming the Sisterhood of Oz with fellow Witches of the North and East, in order to protect their home. Residing at the Heart of Oz, Glinda embodied love, one of the four elements of magic. To show her membership within the order, she was the owner of a special crystal pendant that allowed her to store, channel and focus her magic, making it far stronger than what she had been able to do on her own.

Glinda had a very testy relationship with the Wizard of Oz, seeing through his act of the benevolent bringer of hope as nothing more than the works of a confidence trickster. This resulted in the two never seeing eye to eye, only meeting in the most pressing of circumstances and showing feigned contempt for the other.

She was the keeper and protector of the Book of Records, a tome which contained the history and future of the whole of the realm. Having learned about Zelena's arrival to Oz as a child via a cyclone, Glinda and the Sisterhood kept an eye on them, seeing her as the one promised to defeat the tyranny of the Wizard and take her place as the protector of the West and the embodiment of innocence.

She eventually revealed herself to Zelena after the latter transformed the Wizard into her pet monkey, travelling to the Emerald City to personally thank her for showing Oz that they had been putting their faith in a liar and a fraud for years. Raising the fact that a time travel spell would be impossible to achieve, she sugge
sted that Zelena instead come and meet the Sisterhood, where she would be accepted as a member of the order.

Bringing Zelena to the Heart of Oz, Glinda introduces her sisters, explaining that the reason why she had brought the young witch to them was to give her a new future as one of their council. When Zelena expressed doubt that she could ever represent innocence due to her past deeds, Glinda reinforced the idea that "innocence reclaimed" was equally as powerful as innocence from birth. On the Witch of the North's prompting, Glinda reluctantly told Zelena about the prophecy written in the Book of Records, adding that she did not want to tell her about it, as she wanted the young mage to chose her own destiny. Upon Zelena realising that the prophecy was about her, Glinda welcomed her as a temporary member of the Sisterhood, adding that they had been waiting for her.

After Zelena lets go of her anger and resentment for Regina and Rumplestilskin, Glinda congratulated her for her progress, presenting the young mage with a pendant and placing it around her neck. She warned Zelena that she needed to guard the pendant with her life, adding that without it, she would be powerless. She proudly concluded that Zelena was in now a member of the the Sisterhood.

Taking her to the yellow brick road, both Glinda and Zelena surveyed the West, shocked to see a cyclone blow across the hills. She let out a horrified cry upon the discovery that there was something hurtling around the outside of the chromosphere.

Investigating the remains of the wooden house, Glinda heard Dorothy Gale's cries for help, pulling her from the wreckage. Irritated by Zelena's persistence to know who she was and where she was from, she suggested that the girl came and stayed with them at the Heart of Oz while they figured out how to return her to Kansas.

Welcoming Dorothy into their home, Glinda was the only one to notice Zelena spying on them from the window outside. Realising something was wrong, she excused herself from the table and went to check on her sister, following her to the nearby well. Asking what was wrong, she was unnerved by Zelena's theft of the Book of Records. She attempted to reassure Zelena that they were sisters, promising that despite Dorothy's arrival in the cyclone, the Witch of the West would not be the bad threat that must be destroyed to free Oz from tyranny.

Confused about shouting at the well later that evening, Glinda is saddened by the news that Zelena had attacked Dorothy, consoling the girl with the fact that she had done nothing wrong. She went on to add that due to her throwing water at the Witch of the West, she had fulfilled the prophecy. Offering the young girl a place with the Sisterhood, she accepted Dorothy's wish to go home, remarking that although she could not return her to Kansas, she knew that the Wizard would do it as a reward for reverting him back to human form - blissfully unaware that Zelena had faked her own death.

Accompanying Dorothy to the Emerald City, Glinda instructed the girl to talk speak with the Wizard and make her request. She wished her safe travels as the latter used the magic of a pair of silver slippers to transport her home. With
Dorothy now gone, she begrudgingly thanked the Wizard for his help, telling him that it was safe to reveal his true form and come out from behind the curtain.

However she is horrified to learn that Zelena had impersonated the Wizard, questioning how it was possible for her to still be alive after being reduced to nothing by a bucket of water. Realising that she had been duped, Glinda defiantly stated that she would do whatever she could to summon a hero to Oz that would defeat the Wicked Witch of the West once and for all. But before she could plead for her sister to reconsider her actions, she was banished by Zelena to the Enchanted Forest.

Trapped in Zelena's home world, Glinda exiled herself to the far north of the Dark Forest, keeping herself as far away from people as possible and reflecting on her failure to save Zelena from becoming a force of evil and terror.

Following Rumplestiltskin's riddle, Snow White and Prince Charming travelled to the Dark Forest with Regina in search of the entrance to Glinda's realm. Glinda had enchanted a door in the middle of the wood that would only transport people to her that had pure hearts capable of feeling love and hope, which Regina mislabelled as "a portal with a cheap cloaking spell." 

"A Curious Thing"

Appearing behind the couple as they wondered allowed about her being "the Witch of the South" in a frozen world, Glinda remarked that the stories about her had been true up until her banishment to the Enchanted Forest. She reluctantly informed them that Regina had not been able to arrive with them due to having a heart "full of vengeance," adding that only good witches and beings of extraordinary courage and devotion could pass through her portal. 

She interrupted Snow White's protest to being called a witch, remarking that she was fully aware of who she was and had heard stories of her deeds before the enactment of the First Dark Curse. She went on to tell her that she her unborn child had a pure and uncorrupted heart, a source of powerful sorcery. 

Asked to aid them in the fight against Zelena, Glinda was regretful that she was not able to help her, due to her being far less powerful than her former ally. She explained how the two had been friends in the past, before Zelena allowed herself to be consumed by envy and dark magic.  She expressed her regret at failing to stop the Wicked Witch of the West. 

However, she reassured Snow that there although Zelena was skillful practitioner of magic, the Witch of the West was not invincible. She directed their attention to her pendent, remarking that she had given the Witch one similar, musing that since her magic now resided within the crystal, the removal of the pendant would leave her vulnerable. She noted that it would not be an easy task, stating that the only way to counter Zelena's dark magic was potent light magic. Expressing the importance of light magic, a product of true love, she listens to Snow's belief that their daughter Emma Swan could be the one to save them all. 

Upon hearing that Emma was not in the Enchanted Forest, Glinda remarked that their quest could not succeed. Due to there being no other option, Snow declared that they must enact the Dark Curse one again to spirit them back to Storybrooke.

Richard Sionis - Prime Earth - Catwoman (2011)

The father of Roman Sionis, Richard Sionis was the president and head of Sionis Investments, having run the company for years before his health took a turn for the worse. He was reported to have had ties to criminal organisations, however their was no proof to corroborate these accusations. Richard was the founder of the False Face Society. He had a very estranged relationship with his son, however both shared a fascination for masks, hoarding a vast collection in his mansion. He was said to be "the premier collector of masks in the world."

Sionis wanted to expand the False Face Societies' operations across Europe for many years, however did not allow Roman to lead this mission. Instead he set about looking for the perfect candidates; people who were hungry for power and had no connections to Sionis should the outpost fall.

Several years before he was taken ill, Selina Kyle and her former boyfriend David Franco stole Richard's credit card, using it to make numerous purchases. Upon discovering this, he tracked down the couple - after members of the Society kept tabs on them - and corned them in an alleyway. Getting out of his car, he mockingly interrupted Selina as she threatened her attackers, demanding to know what he intended to do to them. Calmly taking a punch to the face, Sionis' mask slipped off his face, introducing himself to the defiant thief. He remarked that he knew who they both were and what they had done with his stolen card.

Bringing the couple back to his home, Richard boasted about his collection, looking for a book - The History of Gotham - as David demanded to know what the collection had to do with them. Opening the book on the Faceless Mask, he began to explain that the object was as old as Gotham, adding that there were legends about it being cursed. Musing on the mask's return to Gotham, he coldly remarked that he wanted them to steal it from the Gotham Museum of Crime. Interrupting David's objection to the plan, he ordered his men to turn guns on them, reminding the couple that they had stolen from him - reasoning that he would overlook their transgression if they complied with his demand. Amused by Selina's demand to get paid for willingly accepting his boon, Richard humoured her explanation, finding all her points to be very compelling - that as they were two streets kids with no past connection to Sionis, as well as being highly talented thieves, thirty thousand dollars would allow them both to leave Gotham, whilst he got the Faceless Mask. Agreeing to her terms, he remarked that he liked her spirit. He let them go, satisfied by Selena's promise that the mask would be in his collection by the next morning.

Watching the news, Richard smirked at the breaking reports of a burglary at the Museum of Crime, he sarcastically remarked at the anchor's comment that nobody knew the culprits of the crime. He is approached by a society member, who notified the boss that Selina and David were there to see him with the stolen mask. When David knocked out the henchmen and turned the gun on him - much to the surprise of Selina - Richard warned him not to make threats. He smiled as he watched David was shot by a hidden loyalist, remarking how beneficial it was to work with an underground network that had experience in hiding and secrecy, since no one could see them coming. Turning to Selina, Richard gave her the choice, to leave now David to die and live, or to stay and be caught by the authorities for trespassing and stealing from Sionis. He is satisfied by her choice to leave without a fuss, allowing her to say - what she thought would be - her final farewell.

In reality, Richard had made a deal with David that would ensure he became the head of the Societies European Division, if he sold Selina out and fake his own death. Due to being sexist, he did not deem Selina to be high up in the organisation due to her being female.

In his guise as the Black Mask, both he and his son have been in a war that had splintered the organisation in two.  In an effort to end this, he hired Franco to take on the mantle of the White Mask, steal The Faceless Mask and run the organisation in his image.

Richard was administered in the Gotham Hospital, where he was in chronic pain. The news of his terminal illness was reported on Gotham News.


"Faceless, Part One"

On the evening that the Faceless Mask had been stolen from his house, Richard suffered from a particularly painful attack, screaming for a nurse to tend to him. Begging her to give him anything that can relieve him of his pain, he let the nurse inject an unknown compound into his intravenous drip. Thanking her for the assistance, he suddenly yelled in horror as his whole body convulsed, opening his eyes wider as the substance took effect on him. As he looked into the nurse's face, he is panicked by the sight of her, realising that it was in fact his son disguised as an employee at the hospital. Pressing down on the panic button, he attempted to summon aide, pleading for somebody to help him.

Richard implored his son to stop, acknowledging that although they had a history that was far from amicable, he was still his father. However, Roman remarked that all he wanted from him was to see him die. He finally fell silent, breathing his last breath.

As a final insult to injury, Roman put his father's old mask on his corpse, boasting that he would now take control of the False Face Society.

Joseph Chilton - Earth-32 - Batman: The Dawnbreaker (2017)

A resident of Gotham City, Joseph Chilton - also known as Joe Chill - was an armed criminal responsible for holding up the Gotham socialites Thomas and Martha Wayne, as well as their young son Bruce. He proceeded to shoot and kill his marks, taking Thomas' wallet for himself.


"Fear of the Dark" 

Turning the gun on Bruce, Joe remarked that he had got what he had come for, ordering the boy to get on his knees and close his eyes. Warning Bruce that he would get hurt if he tried anything heroic, the mugger ran off and left the grieving boy by his parents' bodies.

Stopping to catch his breath, Joe flicked through the stolen wallet. However, he is interrupted by Bruce, who has been granted the power of flight through a Green Power Ring. Stunned by the furious youth, he began to back away as he was called a "bastard," dropping the stolen wallet and begging Bruce to take the money, so long as he was saved.

He tried to flee as Bruce's Ring struggled to deliver a killing strike, looking slightly relived as he heard the device tell the young teen that he could not use lethal force. However, before he can get away, Bruce's will to avenge his parent's death overpowered the ring, allowing him to dismiss the First Law of the Green Lantern and engaging deadly weapons. He is bathed in a burning green light, screaming as his flesh is seared off, reducing the mugger into a smoking skeleton.

Batman - Earth-22 - Dark Nights: The Batman Who Laughs (2017)

After his parents were shot and killed in an ally one evening, Bruce Wayne trained to fight his fears and become a symbol of Justice for the city of Gotham.

Over the years, Batman worked with the G.C.P.D to capture numerous costumed individuals, eventually taking in several people under his wing and training them to become members of the Bat Family. Inviting them all back to the Batcave and trusting them with his secret identity, he put them through vigorous simulations to keep them at the peak physical health.

Batman was also one of the founding members of the Justice League and the main petitioner for the armoury - wishing to study the confiscated weapons to understand how they worked and build defences against them. He mastered how to use all of them.


"The Batman Who Laughs"

Racing off to confront the Joker, Batman was overpowered by the Clown Prince of Crime and drugged, keeping him paralysed but fully conscious of all the chaos that the villain was causing across Gotham. He listened in fury as his nemesis gloated about all the crimes he had committed. However his anger turned to loathing and ferocity as he watched the Joker begin shooting several parents in the head, infecting their traumatised children with Joker Toxin and turning them lose on the burning city. He managed to break free from his bonds, overcoming immobility and pouncing on top of Joker, punching him several times with enough force to knock out teeth. In a brutal frenzy, Batman repeatedly told the Clown that he would not be allowed to repeat his actions, breaking his neck. However as he breathed in, panting from such a display of aggression and force, Bruce inhaled a nanotoxin strain that had been released upon the Joker's last breath.

Taking time to run an autopsy on the Joker's corpse, Batman discovered that the Joker was dying from the chemicals that altered his appearance, slowly killing him from the inside out.

Two days after he killed the Clown, he met with Superman in a warehouse, reporting his findings to Clark. He went on to reassure his friend that he would not become a killer, explaining that the only reason why he had committed the act was because he had not been given any other choice. Batman went on to muse that the children that the Joker had contaminated may be unable to save. Upon hearing that one of the young children attempted to tear out the throat of a psychologist, he let out small laugh, quickly composing himself and apologising for the outburst, declaring that he was sorry and that what he had heard was "not funny."

Batman began running tests on himself, horrified to find that he was succumbing to the nanotoxin, becoming the person who, over the corse of his life, had taken so much from his city. He was unable to cure his condition, which was quickly taking hold of him, desperately trying to ensure that no one else would find out his secret. He doused his own son Damian in a chemical concoction that would turn him into a maddened version of himself - transforming in a similar way to that of the surviving children of the Joker's final attack.

Three Days later, Batman stalled the rest of his family with a three hour training programme as he waited to determine the results of tests he ran on himself. Realising that he was turning into his worst enemy with no cure to the effects, Batman resigned himself to his fate, wanting to eliminate his family so they would not discover the truth and report him to the Justice League.

He told them the truth, explaining that even if they were to lock him in the Phantom Zone, he would still be a threat to the world. He added that he brought them there for a specific reason, laughing manically as he turned on them with a pair of machine guns - murdering Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood and Red Robin in cold blood.

Batman began producing a potent strand of Black Kryptonite to use against Superman, targeting Supergirl as a trail run. Satisfied with the results, he set about planning the downfall of the Justice League.

A week the slaughter of his loved ones, Batman travelled to the Watchtower, where he butchered every last member of the League with the assembled weapons from their rogues gallery. He left Superman till last, exposing both himself and his son to a sample of Black Kryptonite as he gloated to his former friend that he was doing this because he wanted to, adding that it was fun killing them. He assured Superman that people would try to oppose him, growing excited at the prospect as means to exercise his new drive to ravage the world in the name of chaos. He mockingly suggested that Superman try to reassure his family that all was going to be alright, callously remarking that Clark could lie to his family, since the Krytponian would not comply. He introduced them to the New Bat Family, made up of the kids the Joker had tortured and infected, as well as Damian Wayne. He reprimanded Damian for interrupting, pointing out that he was speaking with Superman and Lois. He casually replied that not only did Damian willingly joined his side, but also helped Batman devise how to kill the League and the Man of Steel. Agreeing with Lois that he didn't have to do this, Batman tossed the Kryptonite at both Superman and Jon, smiling as the Kryptonians tore Lane to pieces before dying themselves.

As a final act of the Batman of his world, Bruce smeared blood on the window in the shape of a smile. Turning his back on his role as Gotham vigilante, he became known as The Batman Who Laughed, a servant of Barbatos and the leader of the Dark Knights.
