Justice League of America #38 – Despero
I don’t know why this magenta monster has never really done it for me as a JLA villain, perhaps its his coloring (is that a hate crime?), or maybe it was the time he spent in freaky-friday mode with L-Ron, but I just can’t take him seriously as a major menace. Oooooh its Despero! I wish I could get more excited about it because this is writer James Robinson’s first issue and will likely set the tone for at least the next dozen stories of the JLA.
It’s the start of a spanking new odyssey for the JLA that will lead in the coming months to a fresh line-up for DC’s flagship team as superstars James Robinson (STARMAN, SUPERMAN) and Mark Bagley (TRINITY, Ultimate Spider-Man) take over! A one-time member of the JLA falls before he can warn the team of looming peril while what’s left of the JLA journeys to the heart of their past to decide if the team has any future at all. Of course, that means this is the best time for a
savagesilly villain from the team’s past to attack the demoralized heroes!

by the way whatever happened with Despero, Per Degaton and the Ultra-Humanite running around in the future screwing with things? I remember a showdown in Booster Gold, but I didn’t think it really resolved what they were up to or where they went after.
