It's Metron!

That's right, folks. It's...

It's Metron!, the most ubiquitous of Jack Kirby's New Gods. The New Gods don't show up all that often in the DCU. Sure, a few have been members of teams and Darkseid shows up whenever someone wants to make Superman seem extra super without a lot of effort. But other than that, they're rarely seen.

Except for Metron!

The Man (god) in the Moebius Chair is everywhere! He's getting schooled by Jay Garrick in JSA:

He's being spooked by by Batman in an alternate distopian future in JLA:

He's teaming up in Blue Beetle:

And he's in Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers! And Kurt Busiek's JLA/Avengers! And Justice League Unlimited!

If you read DC comics at all, consider this: When was the last time you saw one of New Gods? Who was it? Chances are, it was probably Metron!

Does he ever!
