Fictional character biography

Originally, it had been thought Dreamslayer was simply a robotic version of a previous living entity, like his comrades, but it turned out he was real, or at least his mind was. As part of the group, Dreamslayer killed most of the people on Angor, his alternate Earth.

Kooey Kooey Kooey, whose people Dreamslayer had mentally enslaved through Maxwell Lord. Wacky, who wasn't healthy to begin with, was forced to work around the clock on the robotic extremists. He was only able to repair Lord Havok
due to limited supplies. As soon as Havok was functional, Dreamslayer snaps Wacky's neck.

Other versions

The Countdown Presents: Lord Havok and the Extremists mini-series depicts the actions of the alternate universe Dreamslayer of Earth 8. Following the return of the

DC Multiverse, another universe's version of Lord Havok and the Extremists are based on Earth-8.[1] In this version, Dreamslayer is the self-proclaimed god of his own religion, Dreamology. In #4 of Lord Havok and the Extremists, Dreamslayer is revealed to be a demon, who gathered followers to honor him and bring forth a suitable host vessel. Dreamslayer possessed a man called Louie Marino, and proceeded to kill his followers, before a cloaked man (later revealed to be Lord Havok) cast a spell to weaken him. The man transferred Dreamslayer out of Louie's body and into the body of his sister Louise Marino, in the hopes that her stronger mind could keep the demon at bay. Louise has been in a relationship with her fellow Extremist Tracer
.

JLA/Avengers

Dreamslayer is among the enthralled villains defending Krona's stronghold when the heroes assault it in #4. He apparently kills the Barry Allen Flash and Hawkeye, and is then blasted apart by a vengeful Green Lantern.

Powers and abilities

Dreamslayer is a supernatural being or powerful sorcerer whose magic is drawn from the dimension of terrors which he rules over. He has superhuman strength and endurance, immunity to physical and energy attacks, can fly, project flame, teleport, read minds, communicate with telepathy, and manipulate matter. He is a wraith-like being that is unlikely to be killed by conventional means, even surviving the nuclear event on Angor. When taking over a person's body, he can supercharge any metahuman abilities they have, like with Maxwell Lord, enabling him to control thousands of minds at once.

The Earth-8 version of Dreamslayer has the same magical abilities, including the power to freeze a whole city in time.

In other media

Dreamslayer appears in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Shadow of the Hawk", voiced by John DiMaggio.
