ĭoctor Destiny's power was so great that the Justice League resorted to drastic measures to stop him. Morpheus was imprisoned by Alex Burgess at the time, unaware of what Destiny was doing and unable to stop or prevent it. He manipulated the Dreamstone, forcing flaws and adding circuitry, until it was attuned to him and not the Dream King. In a later retcon in The Sandman series written by Neil Gaiman, his mother Ethel (the former mistress of Roderick Burgess) gave Morpheus' Dreamstone to him, which powered the device.

He then created the "Materioptikon", a device which allowed him to create reality from the fabric of dreams. Green Lantern was able to free himself during the drain, and promptly imprisoned Destiny and his two henchmen. However, when drawing the JLA upwards, the station suffered a brief power drain, lessening the effects of the will-deadener. Destiny then revealed he planned to send his ship into space, thus getting rid of the JLA. The League was captured by his will-deadening beam, that also had kryptonite as an element. Before Destiny could further his criminal ends, the League discovered his treachery as Green Arrow had heard from an underworld informant that a member of the League had been captured and was being impersonated. He first encountered the Justice League of America shortly after he invented an anti-gravity device and will-deadener beam that allowed him to capture Green Lantern by luring him into his base using anti-gravity discs to fly over the city as Green Lantern to impersonate and infiltrate the JLA. Fictional character biography ĭoctor Destiny was once a petty criminal scientist who used his genius to create astounding devices for crime. 1 #5 (June 1961), and was created by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowsky.
