Publication history

edit

He first appeared in The New Teen Titans #3 (January 1981) and was created by George Pérez and Marv Wolfman.[1]

Fictional character biography

edit

Simon Jones is a physicist who comes into contact with Trigon while conducting interdimensional research. Trigon gives Jones psychic abilities and tasks him with destroying Earth.[2] Jones, now calling himself Psimon, joins Doctor Light's Fearsome Five.[3]

During Crisis on Infinite Earths, Psimon is killed by Brainiac. He later appears alive before being imprisoned in the Slab. In Outsiders (vol. 3) #6 (January 2004), he engineers a massive prison breakout and escapes.

Psimon later allies with Dr. Sivana and reforms the Fearsome Five. In Salvation Run, he is killed by the Joker, who smashes his head with a rock.[4]

In The New 52 reboot, Psimon is resurrected and forms Meta Solutions, a false business dedicated to stripping metahumans of their powers. Mister Twister later possesses Psimon, enhancing his powers and giving him a new suit.[5][6][7]

Personality and abilities

edit

Psimon possesses powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities. With his telepathy, he can read and control minds and generate illusions. Psychic dampeners can be used to prohibit him from using his powers, though Psimon can override their effects via physical contact.

Other versions

edit

An alternate timeline variant of Psimon makes a minor appearance in Flashpoint as an inmate of military Doom prison.[8]
