Devilance the Pursuer is a fictional extraterrestrial hunter in the DC Comics universe.[1]
Devilance first appeared in Forever People #11 (August 1972) and was created by Jack Kirby.
Devilance is a New God from Apokolips and a hunter who serves its leader, Darkseid. During an attempt to kill the Forever People, Devilance battles Infinity-Man and is presumed dead.
Devilance resurfaces in the series 52, where he captures Starfire, Adam Strange, and Animal Man on another planet.[2] [3] They later escape, and Devilance is killed by Lobo.[4] [5]
In 2016, DC Comics implemented a relaunch called "DC Rebirth", which restored its continuity to a form much as it was prior to The New 52. In Dial H for Hero, Devilance battles Robby Reed with DeSaad, Kalibak, Tigra, Steppenwolf, and the Parademons.[6]
As a New God, Devilance possesses superhuman physical abilities. He can additionally manipulate his own physical density and is resistant to extreme temperatures.
Devilance's principal weapon is his lance, which serves many functions. It can fly, fire powerful energy blasts, and track others via circuitry embedded into it.
