Ghast

Ghast is one of those deliciously deep-cut DC creations who rewards the dedicated reader willing to dig past the headliners — born in the Bronze Age pages of Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #1 in 1985, courtesy of the legendary team of Marv Wolfman and Len Wein. Over a publishing life stretching all the way to 2021, this figure has haunted some of DC's darkest corners, surfacing in the shadowy pages of Justice League Dark and The Spectre alongside heavy company like Green Lantern, The Flash, and Arthur Curry. With 36 years of appearances and a key issue to their name, Ghast is exactly the kind of obscure gem that reminds you why a truly comprehensive universe needs its mysteries.
