  Despero   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)

Since Despero didn't play fair, Flash lost and the JLA was teleported to alien worlds and left there to die, but using their powers, they returned and vanquished Despero, giving him to the kalanorians to be judged.
Despero got free of his robotic body and started to run around in a ghostly state in search of a powerful body to host him and provide revenge from the heroes.

Despero's had his psychic abilities for a very long time, before he ever had the enhanced strength, speed, durability, and regenerative power he relies primarily on now.
