Who is Simon Jones?

Simon Jones was a genius physicist whose formidable psychic abilities—including telepathy, telekinesis, mind control, illusion casting, and mental energy blasts—were granted to him by the demonic entity Trigon. Armed with both superhuman psi-powers and an exceptional scientific intellect, he became a dangerous villain affiliated with the Fearsome Five.

George Pérez and Marv Wolfman introduced Simon Jones to DC readers in 1981 — right in the heart of the Bronze Age — and this character has quietly persisted across an impressive 44-year stretch of publishing history. With 58 catalog appearances spread across The New Teen Titans, Titans, and Tiny Titans, Simon Jones has kept remarkably distinguished company, sharing pages with the likes of Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, Wally West, and other cornerstones of DC's Teen Titans mythology. Two of those appearances carry key-issue status, making them genuinely worth tracking down for the serious collector. For fans who love digging into the texture of a long-running universe — the supporting players and recurring presences who give a world its depth — Simon Jones is exactly the kind of discovery that makes browsing a comics catalog such a rewarding adventure.
