Who is Metron?

Metron is a New God of the Fourth World, a mysterious and enigmatic figure who traverses the cosmos aboard his all-knowing Mobius Chair, driven by an insatiable hunger for knowledge and discovery rather than allegiance to either New Genesis or Apokolips.

Few characters in DC's cosmos carry the mystique of Metron, who burst onto the scene in The New Gods #1 in 1971, conjured by the legendary Jack Kirby at the height of his Fourth World ambitions. A Bronze Age original born from one of comics' most audacious creative visions, Metron has proven genuinely enduring β€” 55 years of appearances across titles like JLA and Action Comics Weekly speak to a character who transcends his origins. With four key issues to his name and a roster of page-mates that includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Orion, he moves in the most rarefied company the DC Universe has to offer. If you're drawn to the cosmic, the enigmatic, and the Kirby-touched corners of comics history, Metron is absolutely worth your time.
