Holocaust

Holocaust is a powerful DC/Milestone villain who emerged as a major threat in the Milestone Universe, clashing with heroes including Static, Hardware, and Icon. A ruthless, ambitious figure, he sought dominance over Dakota City's criminal underworld and superhuman community alike.

Born into the Copper Age pages of Guy Gardner #8 in 1993, Holocaust is a villain with roots deep in the DC Universe who quickly found a home terrorizing the Milestone Comics corner of that world. Created by Gerard Jones, Will Jacobs, and Joe Staton, this menacing figure crossed paths with some of Milestone's finest — sharing charged, dangerous pages with the likes of Static, Hardware's Curtis Metcalf, and Icon — and the fact that two of their seven catalogued appearances carry key-issue status tells you these weren't forgettable showings. Spanning nearly three decades from 1993 to 2022, Holocaust is a testament to how a well-crafted antagonist can leave a long shadow across publishers and eras alike.
