Qwsp (formally known as Quisp) is a fictional supervillain who appears in stories published by DC comics.

[edit] Character History

He is a Fifth-Dimensional imp who befriends the aquatic hero Aquaman. Qwsp was for many years a valued ally of the undersea monarch. However, inspired by Aquaman's sudden change in appearance and outlook, Qwsp became a deadly threat, not only to Aquaman, but to the entire world. Qwsp manipulated another denizen of the Fifth Dimension, Lkz, into attacking the Third Dimension (the setting for most mainstream DC stories). His plot was foiled through the efforts of the Justice League of America, Captain Marvel, and several members of a then-inactive Justice Society of America. In the course of the battle, Lkz merged with Johnny Thunder's Thunderbolt (a Fifth-Dimensional denizen named Yz) to form a new being, Ylzkz. A young teenager named Jakeem Williams gained control of Ylzkz, and eventually joined the Justice Society under the code name Jakeem Thunder.

Some time later, Jakeem and the Thunderbolt were overpowered in battle by a host-less Spectre and banished to the Fifth Dimension. Upon their arrival, Qwsp took possession of Jakeem's body, thus gaining control of the Thunderbolt and sparking a war within the Fifth Dimension. Through the efforts of the Justice Society and members of the Thunderbolt's family, Qwsp was defeated and fell under the control of the sorcerer Saradin.
