Real names: Per Degaton
First appearance: All-Star Comics#35 (June-July 1947)
Abilities: Time Travel

Quote: "Am I? Listen, you old fool! I'm sick of being an assistant to doddering greybeards like you! Tired of scullery maid to test tubes! All my life I've been only that-an assistant!"
Created by: John Broome (script), Irwin Hasen (pencils)
In the tradition of Two-Face, Lex Luther, the Cheetah, Solomon Grundy (and Sportsmaster), the Shade, the Mad Mod, Captain Boomerang, and Sonar (and the Javelin), we now take a look at a special or at least a foe I thought was a cut above the rest.
Per Degaton might be considered one of the JSA's top foes. Personally I picked him due to his gimmick. A lowly assistant to Dr. Zee, the man who would rule dreamed of time travel. When the doctor finally perfected it, Degaton used the machine to rule the world!
And so it would go, with Degaton mucking around in the time stream but managing to get sent back to right before he started his ascent into evil, with his writing the whole adventure off as a dream. Funny enough he only had two appearances in the Golden Age but he did show up enough to help form the Injustice Society, one of the first main evil super groups in DC.
Overall decent; good luck and a nice gimmick can take a character far.
