Publication history

He first appeared in The New Teen Titans #3 (January 1981) and was created by George Pérez and Marv Wolfman.

Fictional character biography

Simon Jones is a physicist who comes into contact with Trigon while conducting interdimensional research. Trigon gives Jones psychic abilities and tasks him with destroying Earth. Jones, now calling himself Psimon, joins Doctor Light's Fearsome Five.

In The New Teen Titans #5 (1981), Trigon becomes impatient with Psimon's lack of progress and banishes him to another dimension. The remaining members of the Fearsome Five use a dimensional transmitter to rescue Psimon, but are imprisoned.

During the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, Psimon allies with the Monitor. The Fearsome Five, feeling betrayed by Psimon, attempt to kill him. However, Psimon is rescued by Brainiac and the Lex Luthor of Earth-One. He attempts to kill Brainiac after learning of his intentions, only to be killed by him.

Psimon is later revealed to have survived and returns to Earth to seek vengeance against the Fearsome Five. He tracks down Mammoth and Shimmer, who have since retired from villainy, and kills Shimmer. Psimon is defeated and imprisoned in the Slab, a metahuman prison. In Outsiders (2004), Psimon engineers a prison breakout and escapes.

In Salvation Run, Psimon is among the villains who are exiled to the planet Cygnus 4019. Realizing that escape is impossible, he begins planning to create a new civilization, only to be killed by the Joker.

Psimon is resurrected following The New 52 continuity reboot and the DC Rebirth relaunch. He and the Fearsome Five found Meta Solutions, a business that is ostensibly intended to assist metahumans. The operation's true purpose is to strip metahumans of their powers and sell them to the highest bidder.

Personality and abilities

Psimon possesses powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities. With his telepathy, he can read and control minds and generate illusions. Psychic dampeners can be used to prohibit him from using his powers, though Psimon can override their effects via physical contact.

Other versions

An alternate timeline version of Psimon makes a minor appearance in Flashpoint as an inmate of military Doom prison.
