Houngan

Houngan is a DC supervillain and recurring enemy of the Teen Titans who employs voodoo-based abilities, using a high-tech variation of traditional Haitian mysticism to attack and control his targets remotely.

Emerging from the Bronze Age creative powerhouse of George Pérez, Marv Wolfman, and Romeo Tanghal, Houngan made his debut in The New Teen Titans #14 in 1981 — right in the heart of one of DC's most celebrated runs. He's the kind of villain whose presence across The New Teen Titans, Tales of the Teen Titans, and even the encyclopedic Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe signals genuine staying power in the DCU's rogues' gallery. With three collector-significant key issues to his name and a publishing history stretching all the way to 2023, Houngan has proven far more than a one-arc antagonist, sharing pages with the likes of Wonder Girl, Garfield Logan, and the fearsome Plasmus along the way. For fans who love digging into the deep lore of the Titans era, he's exactly the kind of richly conceived character that makes Bronze Age DC so endlessly rewarding to explore.
