Felix Faust (DCAU)
From Pop-Cult Guides
Felix Faust later appeared in the 2000s animated series Justice League, where he transformed the residents of Themyscira into stone to force Wonder Woman to gather the parts of a key to Hades. Faust had made a deal with Hades himself so that, if Faust could free Hades, then Hades will provide Faust with the "ultimate knowledge". Wonder Woman managed to get the help of her friends from the Justice League in her quest for the key.
Batman discovered that Faust had been an archaeologist with a heretic interest in occult arts. He became a sorcerer and then was expelled from the university. He swore to get revenge on the people who have scorned them, and probably used sorcery to torture them. Batman discovered from a former associate of Faust, that the parts of the key would free the mad god Hades from the hell where he was banished long ago. Thus, the League decided not to give Faust the key without a fight.
But Faust got the key and ran away. Faust managed to free Hades and even provided him with Hippolyta as a sacrifice, but Hades betrayed Faust and aged him on the spot to a withered old man, claiming that, 'Ultimately, pain and suffering are all mankind will ever know". Faust recovered enough to attack Hades while Hades was busy fighting Hippolyta and her allies. With a second attack, Hades completely annihilited Faust, reducing him to clean bones and then to dust.
In Justice League Unlimited, Tala managed to trap Felix's soul in a mirror. He tricked Tala into chanting a spell, freeing Faust and trapping Tala in the mirror. Faust, then took control of the Annihilator, an extremely powerful magical automaton forged by the Greek god Hephaestus, and used it to take over Tartarus. Eventually, Wonder Woman and Shayera destroyed the Annihilator and Felix's soul is now being tortured by Hades.
- Felix Faust made additional (albeit out of continuity) appearances in Justice League Adventures #32 attempting to control various league members. He would then appear in Justice League Unlimited #26, helping Black Manta to conquer Atlantis.
The Justice League/JLU version of Faust was voiced by Robert Englund.
