The Dragon King is a minor antagonist from the DC comics universe.

Biography

The Dragon King was a brilliant Japanese scientist who created a nerve gas during World War II. However, his biggest achievement was devising a mystical energy field around Axis countries that stymied any magically powered beings that came within its zone of influence.

He employed his vast scientific knowledge at his command to create with the aid of the legendary Spear of Destiny and Holy Grail. This energy field had a remarkable effect on anyone with magic-susceptible superpowers, turning the greatest, most dedicated foes of the Japanese Empire into its most deadly unstoppable warriors whenever they passed within the energy field's sphere of influence.

After the war, the Dragon King went into hiding and experimented on himself, transforming into a deadly human/reptile hybrid. It was believed that he died by the sword of Sir Justin, the Shining Knight, when he killed Danette Reilly, the second Firebrand.

He would come into conflict with Courtney Whitmore, the new Star-Spangled Kid, S.T.R.I.P.E., and the Shining Knight, Sir Justin. Dragon King did imply he killed Firebrand. He died during the battle, though the body was never located. He would show up again in possession of the Spear of Destiny and would be defeated by the JSA.
