Who is Cronus?

Cronus is a DC Universe villain based on the Titan of Greek mythology — the god who ruled before the Olympians. He serves as a powerful divine threat, clashing with heroes across DC's mythological corner, including the Teen Titans and Wonder Woman.

Cronus stepped out of the Bronze Age in 1981, conjured by the legendary trio of George Pérez, Marv Wolfman, and Romeo Tanghal in the pages of The New Teen Titans — as auspicious a debut as DC had to offer. A figure drawn from mythological grandeur, this villain carved out a presence across nearly two decades, surfacing in Wonder Woman and The New Teen Titans and earning a spot in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, that beloved roll call of DC's most significant players. Cronus shares the page with titans of the DC cosmos — Starfire, Donna Troy, and Zeus among them — company that signals just how high the stakes tend to be whenever this character appears. With only eight catalog appearances, every issue counts, making Cronus a rewarding find for collectors who love their Bronze Age mythology with a distinctly DC edge.
