Dreamslayer is a fictional character, a DC Comics supervillain, and part of the evil gang called Extremists. He is based on the Marvel Comics supervillain Dormammu. He first appeared in Justice League Europe #15 (June 1990).

[edit] Fictional character biography

Originally, it had been thought Dreamslayer was simply a robotic version of a previous living entity, like his comrades, but it turned out he was real, or at least his mind was.

As part of the group, Dreamslayer killed most of the people on Angor, his alternate earth. He follows along to Earth with the three surviving humans of his world, Mitch Wacky, Silver Sorceress and Blue Jay. He possesses Maxwell Lord. He kidnaps Mitch Wacky, the brilliant inventor who had created the robots of his comrades. Wacky is taken to the mobile island of Kooey Kooey Kooey, which Dreamslayer had mentally enslaved. Wacky, who wasn't healthy to begin with, was forced to to work around the clock on the robotic Extremists. He was only able to repair Lord Havok due to limited supplies. As soon as Havok was functional, Dreamslayer snaps Wacky's neck.

The Silver Sorceress attacks the island, along with her Justice League comrades. The natives of the island, mentally controlled by Dreamslayer, attack. The League's desire to not hurt the innocent natives costs the Sorceress her life, as she is hit with an arrow in the stomach. Before dying, she neutralizes Dreamslayer in a mystical battle.

He has returned more than once, to plague Supergirl and the Justice League. He was used and tricked by the villain Overmaster.

[edit] Countdown Presents: Lord Havok and the Extremists

Following the return of the DC Multiverse, another universe's version of Lord Havok and the Extermists are based on Earth-8. In this version, Dreamslayer is the self-proclaimed god of his own religion, Dreamology. In #4 of Lord Havok and the Extremists, Dreamslayer is revealed to be a demon, who gathered followers to honor him and bring forth a suitable host vessel. Dreamslayer possessed a man called Louie Marino, and proceeded to kill his followers, before a cloaked man (later revealed to be Lord Havok) cast a spell to weaken him. The man transferred Dreamslayer out of Louie's body and into the body of his sister Louise, in the hopes that her stronger mind could keep the demon at bay. Louise is currently in a releationship with her fellow Extremist Tracer.
