DC, vengeance demon

405 appearancesSince 1963

Eclipso first appeared in House of Secrets #61 (1963-07), published by DC. 405 appearances are indexed across 60 series.

The demonic entity known as Eclipso took advantage of solar energy specialist Bruce Gordon when he was wounded by a black diamond by possessing Gordon's body whenever an eclipse occurred. In time he was able to split from Gordon's body during a natural eclipse, and possess it upon an artificial eclipse. A bright light would undo the effects.
