Psimon
Encyclopedia
Psimon is a fictional comic book
supervillain
from DC Comics
created by George Pérez
and Marv Wolfman
. He first appeared in New Teen Titans #3 (January 1981) as one of the founding members of the Fearsome Five
, which became a frequent enemy of the Teen Titans, Superman
, and the Outsiders
.
Dr. Simon Jones was working on experiments in contacting other dimensions when he was contacted in turn by the demon
Trigon the Terrible
, the father of the superhero
Teen Titan known as Raven
. Trigon used his abilities to transform Jones into a powerful psychic
with telepathic and telekinetic powers, and gave him the mission to destroy the Earth
. Finding an ad by the psychopathic supervillain Doctor Light in the Underworld Star, a criminal underground paper, Jones, now calling himself Psimon, joined Light’s new group, the Fearsome Five
. Psimon usurped Light’s role as the team’s leader during their first battle against the Teen Titans, in which he telepathically planted the suggestion in their minds to kill the Justice League
. The plan failed, however, and the Five were defeated.
In New Teen Titans #5 (March 1981), Trigon, growing impatient with Psimon’s lack of progress, banished his psychic minion to another dimension. In New Teen Titans #7 (May 1981) the remaining members of the Five attacked the Titans at their new headquarters, Titans Tower
, and used their dimensional transmitter to return their teammate to them, but they were subsequently imprisoned.
Psimon’s teammate Gizmo
eventually broke the team out of prison, and Psimon, now acting as team leader, led the Five in kidnapping Dr. Helga Jace in order to force her to make them an army of "Mud Men" to aid them in their battles. However, they were again defeated, this time by the combined forces of Batman
, the Outsiders
, and the Teen Titans.
Psimon later allied himself with the immortal dimensional traveler known as the Monitor
during the seminal 1985 event known as Crisis on Infinite Earths
. During this, the rest of the Five, feeling betrayed by Psimon, turned on him, apparently killing him. In Pre-Crisis continuity, Brainiac
and the Earth-1 Lex Luthor
saved Psimon from the Anti-Monitor
's Shadow Demons and recruited him for their Villain Army, taking over Earths 4, S, and X. He became suspicious of the two villains' plans and, learning that they were going to take over the worlds by themselves once the heroes and villains were wiped out, attacked the two. He apparently destroyed Brainiac and went to finish off Luthor, only to have his brain blasted away by a recreated Brainiac in one of the more brutal surprise deaths of the storyline.
He later turned up alive, cutting a swath of destruction through another star system far from Earth, devastating the planets of Kallas and Talyn (home of Jarras Minion
). He returned to Earth to seek revenge on those who had wronged him. Finding his former teammates Mammoth
and Shimmer
at a Tibet
an monastery
, having renounced a life of crime, he attacked them, driving a spear through Mammoth’s head and turning Shimmer into glass and then shattering her. When he found Gizmo, he shrunk the diminutive inventor down to subatomic size. He then attacked and psychically tortured the Teen Titans, but was defeated and placed in the custody of the interstellar police force known as the Darkstars
, and later imprisoned in the metahuman
prison
known as the Slab.
Psimon was present during the "Last Laugh" riots initiated by the Joker
in the 2001-2002 crossover
storyline Joker: Last Laugh. In Outsiders Vol. 3 #6 (January 2004), he managed to engineer a massive prison breakout and escape when the cult
leader Brother Blood
had taken over the prison in an attempt to activate a global satellite
system.
Psimon later joined up with frequent Captain Marvel
archenemy Dr. Sivana, who, in a storyline in Outsiders
#12 -15 (July-October 2004), freed Psimon’s former teammates Mammoth, Gizmo, and Jinx
from prison, and was able to successfully restore Shimmer’s shattered form, returning her to life. Despite lingering animosity between Psimon and Mammoth, Sivana put the team to work for him in a scheme to short sell
Lexcorp
stock by having them steal its accounts from its corporate building in Metropolis
, and then driving down the stock by killing all the people in the building, and destroying two other Lexcorp properties. At the latter of the two, a microchip
processor factory of Lexcorp's subsidiary
, Kellacor, the Five were confronted by the Outsiders
. After escaping, the criminally unsophisticated Five urged Sivana to take Lexcorp's nuclear missile
facility near Joshua Tree, California
. When Sivana refused, Psimon asserted that they would take it anyway, and in response, Sivana killed Gizmo with a laser blast to the head, and severed relations with the remaining four, warning them that he would kill them if they ever crossed his path again. The Five decided to initiate the plan themselves, but were defeated in their plan to take the facility and fire a nuclear missile at Canada
. Mammoth was returned to the metahuman
prison
on Alcatraz Island
, but Psimon and the others remained at large.
Most recently, Psimon was seen among the new Injustice League
and was one of the villains featured in Salvation Run
. Exiled to a savage new world, he attempted to convince his fellow super-villains that escape was impossible, and then proceeded to lay down plans for beginning a new civilization. He was interrupted by the Joker, who murdered him by breaking the dome which houses his brain and repeatedly smashing it with a rock.
, simply because he thought it would terrify the world.
Psimon possesses powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities. With his telepathy, he can read minds, take over other people’s minds to force them to do his bidding, cast telepathic illusion
s so that he or others may appear to be someone else. His telekinesis allows him to move objects, and can even affect large objects in his presence but outside his line of sight, as when he caused a ceiling to collapse onto Outsider Nightwing
. Devices known as psychic dampeners can be used to prohibit him from using his powers, either by having him wear one, as had been done when he was incarcerated in the Slab, or by being worn by a potential victim, though Psimon can override the dampener’s effectiveness by coming into physical contact with the victim, specifically by placing his hands on the victim’s head.
