Who is Javelin?

Javelin is a DC villain and mercenary who uses javelin-based weaponry as his signature gimmick. He has crossed paths with heavy hitters including Green Lantern, Batman, and The Flash, establishing himself as a persistent threat in DC's Copper Age rogues' galleries.

A villain sharp enough to earn a spot in DC's Who's Who β€” the ultimate roll call of the universe β€” Javelin made his mark in the Copper Age as one of those deliciously dangerous adversaries who populated the rogues' galleries of DC's greatest heroes. Debuting in 1986 thanks to Len Wein, he's the kind of character who turns up in the thick of things, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Green Lantern, Batman, Black Canary, Supergirl, and The Flash β€” elite company that speaks to his place in the broader DC tapestry. His appearances across DC Universe: Legacies and Justice League International cement him as a genuine piece of DC history, the sort of colorful antagonist that makes back-issue diving such a rewarding adventure.
