    Despero:Arch Enemy of the Justice League

    From the planet of Kalanor...the "old-school" version of Despero:



    The head doesn't quite match the box art but whatcha gonna do with a guy that looks like that? (Suit by Brian Leitner)

    The head looks fine. I would have changed the belt buckle though. Thats the only obvious difference.
    Lo there do I see my Father.
    Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
    Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
    Lo they do call me.
    They bid me take my place among them.

          I dig the custom, but what an odd looking fellow.

              Nice work. I always wondered why the JLA just didn't sneak up behind him, with the lack of peripheral vision and all with that goofy fin.

                    Very nice. I've never seen that version. It's very Megoesque.

                          I'm thinking the head is a blow-up of the Despero from the Silver Age JLA Villains PVC Set from 2001.
