Neron

Neron is a supremely powerful demon lord from Hell who debuted scheming to corrupt heroes and villains alike by offering to fulfill their deepest desires in exchange for their souls. His machinations made him one of DC's most dangerous supernatural villains.

Few villains make an entrance quite like Neron — this DC demon lord crashed onto the scene in 1995's Underworld Unleashed: Patterns of Fear #1, courtesy of Roger Stern and Anthony Williams, and immediately established himself as one of the Modern Age's most chilling supernatural threats. A figure of infernal power and dark bargains, he's the kind of presence that draws DC's heaviest hitters — Superman, Green Lantern, and Robin have all shared pages with him — which tells you everything about the scale of menace he represents. His footprint stretches across three decades and into titles as varied as Nightwing and Reign in Hell, proof that this devil in the DC Universe has genuine staying power. With a key issue already to his name and appearances running through 2026, Neron is essential reading for any fan who loves their comics with a genuinely sinister edge.
