Lust

Lust is one of a group of conceptual villains embodying the seven deadly sins, introduced in a special issue uniting the JLA and JSA's combined heroic rosters against a sinister ensemble of thematic adversaries.

Emerging from the pages of DC's Modern Age in 2003, Lust made their debut in the hands of a formidable creative team — David S. Goyer, Geoff Johns, and Stephen Sadowski — in the landmark JLA / JSA Secret Files & Origins #1, a special that brought together two of comics' greatest superhero legacies. Part of a striking ensemble of conceptual villains that includes Sloth, Greed, and others of their sinister ilk, Lust shares the page with titans like Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and The Flash, suggesting a threat scaled to challenge the very best of the DC Universe. Their appearances are concentrated in the celebrated Virtue and Vice storyline and the broader JSA by Geoff Johns run — a period when Johns was redefining legacy heroism for a new generation. With over two decades of presence in the catalog, Lust is a compelling piece of Modern Age DC mythology well worth tracking down.
