Who is Abnegazar?

Abnegazar is one of three ancient demon brothers — alongside Rath and Ghast — who ruled Earth millions of years ago before being imprisoned by the Timeless Ones. He possesses vast magical power and has clashed repeatedly with the Justice League of America.

Abnegazar is one of DC's ancient, brooding presences — a figure whose very name carries an air of dark mythology, introduced to the broader DC readership through Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe in 1985, that landmark Bronze Age compendium that codified decades of DC lore. Over a publishing span stretching from 1985 into 2021, this character has kept genuinely formidable company — sharing pages with the likes of Green Lantern, The Flash, and J'Onn J'Onzz — and has found a particular home in the supernatural corners of the DC Universe through Justice League Dark. With a key issue to their name and the backing of creators Marv Wolfman and Len Wein, Abnegazar is the kind of deep-catalog discovery that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into DC's stranger, more shadowed corners.
