Etrigan was originally summoned by the wizard Merlin as part of a last-ditch defense of Camelot against the evil witch, Morgaine le Fay. When it became clear that the kingdom would fall regardless, Merlin bonded the demon to Jason Blood as his punishment for aiding Morgaine le Fay in overthrowing Camelot. Centuries later, Jason was called to the crypt of Merlin and discovered a poem that could change him into Etrigan. Unfortunately, he was followed by the long-lived Morgaine who lusts for Merlin's secrets. That led to Etrigan's first major battle. Etrigan began speaking entirely in rhyme. This was explained as the result of a promotion, with the rhyming speech being a badge of his new rank in the infernal hierarchy.

Eclipso's early comics debut is tied to his first modern host, Bruce Gordon, a scientist specializing in solar energy. While in the jungle, Bruce was attacked by a tribal sorcerer named Mophir. Before plunging to his death off a cliff, Bruce is wounded with a black diamond. After this, Bruce would find himself transformed into the villainous Eclipso whenever he was in the presence of an eclipse. It is learned that Eclipso was not simply Bruce Gordon's dark half, but a vengeance demon who had possessed Gordon. It also revealed that there was more than one black diamond like the one that allowed Eclipso to take possession of Bruce Gordon. There were in fact one thousand black diamonds. Originally, Eclipso's soul had been bound inside a giant black gemstone until a treasure-hunter brought it to London and had it cut into one thousand duplicate diamonds. This weakened the binding spell enough to allow Eclipso to possess anyone who was in contact with one of the diamonds. He targeted Gordon for the purpose of quashing Gordon's research into solar science. If Gordon had achieved his goal of making solar energy the planet's primary energy source, Eclipso would find it a very inhospitable place to live, as any solar-powered device could be used as a weapon against him.It is shown that Eclipso partakes of the occasional chess game with the powerful entity Darkseid. Eclipso's threat was finally removed from the Earth when the Phantom Stranger completes the long task of gathering all one thousand black diamonds from around the Earth and fusing them back together the black diamonds. Eclipso is once again trapped. The Spectre puts the final nail in Eclipso's coffin by taking the reformed black diamond from Earth, burning them to ash with the holy power of God, and casting the ashes into space.

During her tenure, her origins and powers became tied to those of her then teammate Nightshade. During Day of Judgement, the Enchantress portion of June Moone was murdered by Faust to re-ignite the fires of Hell. This left June in a passive, but not quite catatonic state.

The evil sorcerer battled Nommo, attempting to use the Flame's power to his own corrupt ends. Nommo then called the Flame of Life into himself, defeating the sorcerer by banishing him to another dimension. In the mid-1920s, a madman and wannabe-magician named Dekan Drache stumbled upon the dimension and managed to open a portal to it. Released, the sorcerer destroyed Drache’s soul and entered his body.

Phantom Stranger (First Appearance - Phantom Stranger #1 August 1952)
The most striking aspect of the Phantom Stranger is that his name, his true nature, and his origins have never been revealed. In his earliest appearances, the Phantom Stranger would prove supernatural events to be hoaxes. In later stories, the supernatural events were real and the Phantom Stranger was given unspecified superhuman powers to defeat them. He later appeared sometimes as a major participant; in others, the Phantom Stranger just appears and gives advice or warning to the other heroes. The Phantom Stranger played a major part in taking protagonist Tim Hunter through time to show him the history and nature of magic. He has assisted the Justice League on numerous occasions, even being formally elected to the group. The Stranger also he tries to foil Eclipso's plan to cause a nuclear war. He also,attempted to prevent Hal Jordan from uniting the resurrected body of Oliver Queen with his soul in Heaven. This earned him Jordan's wrath; indeed, the Spectre threatened to judge the Stranger to see whether God had "punished" him properly by refusing him access to Heaven itself. Nonetheless, the Phantom Stranger assisted Hal Jordan during his tenure as the Spectre on numerous occasions as well, most notably in a short stint babysitting Hal's niece, Helen. The supernatural community generally regards the Phantom Stranger as invincible. Since he is ultimately an unpredictable force, others often meet the Phantom Stranger's appearance with distrust. Nonetheless, most heroes will follow him, seeing not only his immense power, but also knowing that the Stranger is in the end, a force for good.

Ragman (First Appearance - Ragman #1 August 1976)
Rory Regan is a ragman, doing good in his community by buying used items from people who need money. The suit of rags that he wears are patches made from the soul of an evildoer that the Ragman had punished and absorbed. The absorption of these souls caused a problem for Rory at one point, when the evil souls hungered for murder and finally freed themselves of Ragman. It was only with the support of Batman, that he regained control. Ragman's powers have increased since then. Currently, he can absorb souls into his costume. With each new soul added, a rag is added. He can call upon the souls in his costume to lend him their attributes or power. He is also a very proficient magic user. During the Day of Judgement, Ragman was active in destroying many of the demons invading Earth. This would earn him the wrath of the Diablos. Ragman is one of the members of the Shadowpact, a team that formed to confront the Spectre. Rory was temporarily trapped in the limbo dimension of his own cloak. He met the soul of an ancient centurion working off his crimes. This man, Marcus Liberius, first saved him from the beating several other of the murderous souls were giving Rory. Marcus reveals that the cloak was actually the "Great Collector Artifact", which has been in existence in many forms since the time of Abraham. Marcus also helped Rory to see that he is not a punisher but a redeemer — allowing a better afterlife for those who work for it. This work usually takes the form of suffering on Rory's behalf. For example, Rory had been recently blinded by magic. Marcus willingly takes this blindess on, adding to previous injuries he had suffered. This last sacrifice allows Marcus to ascend to a higher realm.

With Superman's help, Henshaw is able to save Terri. Though Hank Henshaw's physical body has expired, he is able to transfer his consciousness into the LexCorp mainframe. Now able to control technology, Henshaw appears to his wife in a robotic body; the shock of this is too much for Terri and she commits suicide.

A dying alien race created a number of containment devices in which to preserve their culture. One of the surviving aliens, known as the Cleric, took the device and left Krypton. The Cleric kept the device until he encountered Superman on Warworld. With the device, the two exchanged memories, and the Cleric had a vision of Superman's death at the hands of Mongul. The Cleric wished to prevent this from happening. He noticed that the device changed to protect Krypton's sole survivor, and they used it to heal their wounds, both physical and spiritual. When the Cleric gave the device to Superman, he died.
The device now named Eradicator was soon taken under Superman's control. The Eradicator returned again as it created a body for itself based on Superman's, by tapping into the solar energy reserves of Superman's corpse. This experience caused the Eradicator to briefly believe it was Superman himself. As a humanoid, the Eradicator joined forces with Superman to fight the Cyborg and stop him from destroying Metropolis. It was seemingly killed in an attempt to shield Superman from a lethal blast of Kryptonite-based fuel, fully recharging the Man of Steel's powers in the process. Following Superman's return, the Eradicator's apparently dead body was examined at S.T.A.R. Labs, and merged with Dr. David Connor. The merged Eradicator joined the Outsiders, and occasionally teamed up with Superman. Most recently, the Eradicator returned to his humanoid state of being. The Eradicator was seriously injured by an OMAC. He was said to be in a coma at Steel's headquarters.

The council accepted this on the condition that Jor-El would be the jailer. Thus Zod was imprisoned, and embittered against Jor-El for years to come. In addition, it is hinted that the revolution and war that was attempted resulted in instability of Krypton's core. He was sentenced to exile in the Phantom Zone for his crimes. Zod was first released by Kal-El when his term of imprisonment was up. However, he attempted to conquer Earth with powers gained under the yellow sun.

Metallo (First Appearance - Action Comics #252 May 1959)
John Corben was originally a journalist who had just committed what he thought was the perfect murder. While fleeing from the scene of the crime, Corben suffered a near-fatal accident that mangled his body beyond repair. However Professor Vale happened to come upon Corben, and used his scientific skill to transfer Corben's brain into a robotic body covered by a fleshlike artificial skin. However, Corben discovered that his power source, a capsule of uranium, would only last a day, but was told by Vale that kryptonite would provide him an indefinite power supply. After obtaining a job with the Daily Planet, Corben decides that he'd use his powers to eliminate Superman. After setting a kryptonite death-trap for Superman, Corben was killed. After Crisis, John Corben became a small-time con man who was fatally injured in a car crash, but Professor Emmet Vale happened to pass by. Vale transplanted Corben's brain into a robotic body, which was powered by a two-pound chunk of kryptonite, and instructed him to kill Superman. Metallo thanked Vale by snapping his neck.
Despite ignoring Vale's commands, Metallo came into conflict with Superman on various occasions, in large part due to his continued activities as a petty thug. Metallo later received a major upgrade via an unholy bargain with the demon Neron. As a result, Metallo was now able to morph his body into any mechanical shape he could imagine. As Superman and others learned on various occasions, the most effective way to neutralize Metallo was to remove his head and isolate it from other metallic items. Metallo resurfaces, now in a fully human-looking body with an enhanced titanium-alloy frame. Luthor upgrades Metallo by placing green, blue, gold, and red kryptonite into Metallo's chest cavity. When Metallo resurfaces, his new body appears to be rotting. He attempts to steal a new alloy from Waynetech to replace his skin. When he is captured, he indicates that he is working for Brainiac.

After crisis, Rudy Jones was transformed into the Parasite while working as a janitor at a Pittsburgh S.T.A.R. Labs facility. Unknown to anyone at the scene, the Lord of Apokolips, Darkseid, remembered the pre-crisis Parasite and manipulated Jones to become the modern version. He made Rudy think that a waste container might have held something valuable. He opened it and was exposed to strange radiation that changed his body. Jones now had the ability to absorb the life energy of other people. Unfortunately for a scientist that was tending Rudy during one of his terms in imprisonment, he was tricked by Lex Luthor and somehow absorbed into the Parasite. This joining was different from Rudy's others as, apparently due to unspecified modifications to Rudy's physiology during this stint at S.T.A.R. Labs, he actually retained the scientist, Dr. Torval Freeman, as a part of his own mind. This combined intelligence made the Parasite even more menacing. The Parasite is found to be holed up in St. Roch, Louisiana, where he uses his power-absorbing abilities to temporarily neutralize the powers of villains, for a fee, so they might evade detection during the course of criminal efforts. Parasite is later seen as a member of the new Injustice League.
