Doctor Destiny

Doctor Destiny is a supervillain and Rogue of the Justice League.

History
Doctor Destiny first appeared in ''Justice League of America Vol 1 #5. ''He was originally a criminal scientist named John Dee who used an antigravity device and a Green Lantern costume to break into the Justice League's headquarters. He then used a "will deadening beam" to destroy their free will. He then planned to destroy them by sending their headquarters into space, but the real Green Lantern defeated him. Eventually his mother, Ethel Dee, gave him Morpheus' Dreamstone. He equipped this magical artifact to a machine called the "Materioptikon", and it gave him to power of dream manipulation, making his dreams reality. He called himself Doctor Destiny and again battled the Justice League. His power was so great he had to be hypnotised to stop his ability to dream. This caused him to lose his mind and he was sent to live in Arkham Asylum. He escaped later on and used the Sandman to turn other people's dreams against the Justice League, but he was again defeated and Sandman was freed. When his mother died, he again escaped Arkham, reclaimed the Dreamstone, and went on a rampage. Morpheus, creator of the Dreamstone, destroyed it and restored Doctor Destiny's ability to dream. Doctor Destiny was returned to Arkham powerless and with his sanity slowly returning. Later on though he learned that the Materioptikon maintained some of his former powers. He used it to trap the Justice League in Atom's dream of a world ruled by fascist superheros. Blue Beetle helped them escape and he was defeated yet again.

Television History
Doctor Destiny's history in the Justice League animated series was very different from his comic book history. John Dee was a low level LexCorp employee who was sent to jail for guarding smuggled weapons. While in prison he was used as a guinea pig on a device called the Materioptikon, which could give temporary ESP. After his failure to get parole and his wife leaving him, he snuck into the office with the Materioptikon during a prison break. He overdosed it's power, giving him his dream manipulation powers. He then snuck out of prison and killed his wife through her dreams. He then tried to do the same with the Justice League, but the Martian Manhunter used his telepathic powers to free them while Batman tracked him down and beat him in a fist fight. Doctor Destiny eventually joined Gorilla Grodd's Legion of Doom, where he would die when Darkseid destroyed the base.
