Eclipso (DCAU)

From Pop-Cult Guides

Eclipso is a fictional character, a villain in the DC Comics Universe. He is portrayed as having been the incarnation of the Wrath of God, the Angel of Vengeance who turned evil and was replaced by the Spectre. He first appeared in House of Secrets #61 (Aug. 1963), and was created by Bob Haney and Lee Elias.

Eclipso has also appeared in a Justice League episode called 'Eclipsed'. Although never referred to by name, Eclipso was characterized as the collective souls of an evil race of snake people who imprisoned themselves in a black diamond to eventually destroy the human race. One of Eclipso's possessed human hosts appears wearing the original Eclipso costume, having been told the best way to lure out the Justice League is to "put on a gaudy costume and threaten to hurt a lot of people".

This Eclipso attempted to permanently darken the sun, and possessed all of the Justice League but the Flash and Batman. However, the Flash was able to drive the spirits out of his teammates- Batman was away at the time- and subsequntly helped them create a wormhole to drain away the black energy 'Eclipso' was using to darken the sun.

[edit] Justice League: Chronicles

Eclipso also appeared in the video game Justice League: Chronicles, which, though based on the animated series, shown him closer to his comic version.
