Prince Evillo is a fictional supervillain in the DC Comics universe. He first appeared in "Adventure Comics" #350 (November 1966).

Fictional character biography

Evillo is a prince from the planet Tartarus in the 30th century. Tartarus is a perpetually dark world and a well-known haven for criminals. Evillo rules the planet as a dictator, and uses the "evil" he siphons off from the criminals to convert the innocent into criminals as well.

In "Adventure Comics" #350, Evillo gathers together a group of villains called "The Devil's Dozen", and sends them out to commit robberies on other planets. Evillo and his henchmen are opposed by the Legion of Super-Heroes; in the ensuing fight, Evillo captures Lightning Lad. With the aid of Star Boy and Dream Girl (disguised as "Sir Prize" and "Miss Terious"), the Legion are able to free Lightning Lad and defeat Prince Evillo ("Adventure Comics" #351).

Powers and abilities

Prince Evillo powers include sorcery and magic, with which he can send people to a Realm of Darkness. He can also grow horns from a bio-energy powered device; the horns give him the power of hypnosis and can emit "dark rays".
