Eclipso

Eclipso is an ancient spirit of divine wrath, originally embodied in a being named Galid, who served as God's instrument of vengeance before being replaced by a worthier agent. Bound within a mystical black diamond, Eclipso possesses anyone who holds a shard of it.

Born in the pages of House of Secrets #61 in 1963, Eclipso is a genuine Silver Age DC original — a dark, mysterious figure conjured by creators Bob Haney and Lee Elias at a moment when comics were embracing stranger, more shadowy corners of imagination. Over more than six decades of publication, this villain has proven remarkably durable, earning a self-titled series and a recurring presence in JSA alongside the likes of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and The Flash — elite company that speaks to Eclipso's weight in the DC universe. With two key collector issues to their name and a publishing history stretching all the way to 2026, Eclipso is exactly the kind of enduring, atmospheric antagonist that rewards the curious fan who digs a little deeper into DC's rich legacy of darkness.
