Per Degaton
Per Degaton is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. He is a known time-traveling villain who is a recurring enemy of the Justice Society of America.
Cory Grüter-Andrew portrays a young Degaton on the first season of Legends of Tomorrow, while an uncredited actor portrayed his older self.
Per Degaton made his first appearance in All Star Comics #35 (June/July 1947) and was created by John Broome and Irwin Hasen.
Per Degaton was one of the six original members of the Injustice Society, who began battling the Justice Society of America in All Star Comics #37 (October 1947).
Per Degaton has been obsessed with time travel ever since he was an assistant to the Time Trust, a group of scientists developing a time ray to go to the future and acquire an effective bombing defense for use during World War II. In 1941, the Justice Society of America is sent 500 years into the future to retrieve a formula that produces a bomb-proof shield. In a fit of jealousy, Degaton sabotages the formula and leaves the Time Trust.
By 1947, Degaton is assisting Professor Malachi Zee, a former member of the Time Trust who is developing a time machine. Degaton plans to take the machine for himself and shoots Zee. He makes several attempts to alter history, but it returns to normal due to paradoxes inherent in Zee's time machine. After his final attempt, Degaton is imprisoned for 30 years.
After his release, Degaton roams the streets as a derelict until his old ally Brain Wave finds him homeless and in poor health. Brain Wave restores his vitality and creates new bodies for himself and Degaton. Under cover of a series of natural disasters that he causes, Brain Wave uses a machine to sap the Justice Society's willpower and divert it to power Degaton's new body. After being defeated by the JSA, Degaton returns to prison (back in his original body), but is paroled ten years later due to his advanced age.
Taking advantage of the revelation of "Batman's Diary", a document that supposedly convicts the Justice Society of treason, Degaton uses his remaining influence to attempt to indict the group. After failing to do so, Degaton commits suicide.
