De'Cine is an alien criminal in Superman: The Animated Series. He was voiced by the late Miguel Ferrer.
History
He tries to become king of Almerac by defeating Maxima but fails when she bests him. However, he influences her right hand and his secret lover Sazu to help him overthrow the queen.
When Maxima went to Earth with Superman, De'Cine used this chance to usurp the throne. De'Cine had Superman and Maxima locked in the catacombs. He even sent Sazu down below when he believed she outlived her usefulness. Superman and Maxima confronted him in the throne room and defeated his guards. Maxima defeats De'Cine but he was spared from death by Superman. Instead, Maxima sentenced him to life imprisonment. Sazu gladly escorted him to one of the nastiest dungeons filled with rats at the orders of Maxima. It is also revealed that he committed several crimes on other planets, as Lobo came to detain him.
