- Despero is an alien dictator and enemy of the Justice League.
- Depero is an intergalactic conqueror from the planet Kalanor. He is one of the Justice League's most dangerous adversaries. He has at times been seen teaming up with Darkseid, taking the role as his henchman in an attempt to conquer the Earth.
- Despero was an intergalactic villain.
- Despero was a Kalanorian peasant born with a deformity — a third eye. For that reason he was cast out, and went to wander in the wasteland. One day, when he was jumped by a group of criminals, Despero was saved by the mystical Flame of Py'tar. It infused him with great physical strength and mental powers, which he could project through his third eye. Moreover, the Flame revealed itself to be sentient when it told Despero of a time when Kalanor would become a paradise. Consumed by anger and hatred, Despero misunderstood this message and believed that he had been chosen to impose his will upon the galaxy, and as a result, he used his mental powers to subjugate his fellow natives.
- Despero has gone through virtually as many transformations as the League itself. Initially appearing as a physically weak, mind-controlling tyrant with a penchant for playing chess for the fates of his enemies, he later surfaced to be a physical powerhouse fueled by his burning, all-consuming hatred of the Justice League.
