Warp (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Warp is the name of a fictional DC Comics supervillain that has fought the Teen Titans on different occasions.

[edit] History

Emil LaSalle's origin is unknown. This French supervillain had previously fought Phantasmo and Fleur-de-Lis, prior to being approached by the Brain, Monsieur Mallah and Phobia to become part of their new Brotherhood of Evil. At first, Warp refused but, after being attacked by Captain Toulon and trapped on the "Earth-11" alternate Earth, Warp changed his mind and joined the group. (The whole affair had been engineered by Doctor Mist to get rid of Toulon and save the survivors of that alternate Earth.)

As a member of the new Brotherhood, Warp fought the Teen Titans when a member of that group and shows his loyalty to new members of that group and will not leave them in the lurch. Since Warp has fought the Teen Titans on different occasion, he later resurfaced with the other Brotherhood of Evil members who are now called the Society of Sin.

In the Villains United "Infinite Crisis" special, Warp was seen working with Doctor Psycho to free Doomsday from captivity near the center of the Earth.

[edit] Powers

Besides flying, Warp can open portals between any two locations that he chooses and travel through them and bring others through it as well. Repeated use of this power tires him out.

[edit] Teen Titans animated series

Warp in Teen Titans, voiced by Xander Berkeley, is a time-travelling villain (a power which he didn't have in the comics) from one-hundred years in the future. He travels to Jump City in order to steal a device that (his) history said he had stolen, but the Titans appear to stop him. However, his technology is too powerful for them to overcome and he attempts to escape, but Starfire follows him into a time portal. They end up twenty years in the future after she took a crucial part of his suit. He steals the part back and fixes his machine, but before he is able to escape, the future Titans (Nightwing, Animal Man-- the new name of Beast Boy's future self ---, a considerably rusty Cyborg, and an unstable Raven in her frequently-seen white cloak) apprehend him. In the battle, his time suit malfunctions and he is reduced to the age of an infant. He appears in the episode "How Long Is Forever?" and his infant form makes a cameo in "Cyborg the Barbarian" when Cyborg is mentioning about what happens when history is tampered with. He also cameos (in his adult form) in "Homecoming pt. 2". No explanation has yet been given for his reappearance, though since he can travel through time, it may simply be another version of him. He later appears with See-More to take down Herald, but they were defeated.
