Garguax is a fictional supervillain in the DC Comics universe. He first appeared in Doom Patrol v1 #91 (November 1964).
Garguax is the exiled leader of an unnamed alien planet. Arriving on Earth in Doom Patrol #91, he attempts to conquer the planet with his advanced technology. The Doom Patrol defeats him by blowing up his spaceship.
Garguax returns in Doom Patrol #96, this time allying himself with the Brotherhood of Evil. He functions as a member of the group on several occasions, but in #111, May 1967, Garguax turns on them when Zarox-13, his superior from his home planet, arrives to carry out his invasion plans. An uneasy truce between the Patrol and the Brotherhood leads to the extraterrestrials' defeat in #112, June 1967.
Garguax' final appearance (except for a retroactive one in Silver Age: Doom Patrol #1, July 2000) is in Doom Patrol vol. 2, #17-18. During the Invasion! storyline, Garguax, after his services are rejected by the alien invasion force, joins forces with the Doom Patrol to defend the Earth. After the alien invasion is stopped, Garguax tries to double cross his old foes. The Chief destroys Garguax's spaceship with a laser beam, killing the alien in the process.
Garguax has no special powers and is quite slow in Earth's gravity, due to his large size and obesity. Garguax has access to the advanced technology of his homeworld, including an army of androids known as the Plastic Men.
