You have a serious chubby in your chinos for Despero don't you. Not that that's a bad thing!

He probably does deserve a higher spot than ninth but Darkseid is cemented firmly in the number one spot and to try taking that place from him is suicide. I get what your saying about him not being created as a League specific villain but that doesn't mean he can't climb the ladder. You talk about Despero's calm calculation then turn on Darkseid for the same trait. Darkseid is more than capable of simply turning up in the watchtower and killing several main League members but he doesn't because he deems it to be beneath him. Killing the Justice League is in some ways too easy, he'd rather bend them to his will and break their spirit adding to his millions of worshipers. It's the plans he has beyond simply killing that make him a much larger threat than Despero.

Nice article!

Oh thats a load!

Starro the Conquerer is the greatest villain the JL have to face. Hell, in my opinion, "it" is practically the threat that best represents the Justice League's formation.

I mean, it is a powerful alien starfish being who for years travel to different planets to rule over the species that inhabit the planet. It uses mini starfish spores to take control over people's will and have a high amount of psyonic powers. And over the course of Starro's debut, the character seems to becoming more and more of a threat compare to previous times.

Other than that, I guess Despero can be concider a good choice for greatest threat to the JL (though for me, he is a runner up).

I really can't ever see him being number one... a number one is meant to be the first thing you think about when you think main bad guy. I don't know of anyone who would say they automatically think of despero when thinking of justice League villains. Darkseid is their number one because he is the number one threat to them and the world as a whole. Imperiex is more of a Universal threat then just the JLA's problem.

I've been saying this for the longest time!

Darkseid for Superman. Despero for JLA.

Heck, my CBM username used to be Despero.

He needs to be in the feature film (if ever).

Thank for this beautiful article. Best this year.

Well done this is pretty good article but theres one villian that tops both these guys and that is Dr Light. He isn't that powerful but he broke the JL

With one act, it doesnt matter how many world conwuering schemes they come up with they can damage the JL the way Dr light did
