History is only made by the masses of the people (Part 5)...

Black Super Hero History Month

Bloodwynd


DC Comics' Bloodwynd first appeared in Justice League America #1 in April 1992.

He had a VERY confusing origin...he was at first The Martian Manhunter who was mind controlled by some magical gem called The Blood Gem.   At the time, I assumed that was it.  But it turns out some person, actually Bloodwynd, was trapped inside The Blood Gem.  After being freed from the Blood Gem, Bloodwynd became a member of the Justice League for a time.  But he voluntarily put himself on reserve duty.    He was only seen again a few times after this.

Bloodwynd is a necromancer, summoning spirits of the dead to enhance his power.  He also has somewhat unspecified mystic powers.
