Asmodel

Asmodel is a powerful angel — specifically a Bull-Host commander in Heaven's armies — who turns against the divine order and wages war on Earth, bringing him into direct conflict with the JLA and DC's most cosmic heroes.

Few antagonists arrive with the sheer cosmic audacity of Asmodel — a figure who crashed into the DC Universe in 1997's JLA #7, conjured by the legendary team of Grant Morrison and Howard Porter at the height of their landmark run. This is a Modern Age creation of genuine scale, the kind of character whose debut puts them in orbit around DC's absolute heaviest hitters — Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Doctor Fate — which tells you everything about the tier of storytelling Asmodel was built for. Though appearances in the catalog are select rather than sprawling, they stretch across fifteen years and touch ambitious projects like Reign in Hell and DC Universe: Legacies, suggesting a figure too singular to leave on the shelf for long. If you love DC's grandest, most mythologically charged corners, Asmodel is exactly the kind of discovery worth chasing down.
