Devos the Devastator is asupervillain appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. He is afoe of theFantastic Four. His first appearance was inFantastic Four #359 (December, 1991); he was created by Tom DeFalco, Paul Ryan and Danny Bulanadi.
Devos is an extraterrestrial vigilante dedicated to bringing peace to the universe, but holds the warped view that this can only be done by destroying anyone whom he deems a threat to galactic peace—therefore, killing everyone capable of waging war. While Devos is willing to make alliances with other villains in order to further his goals, he inevitably betrays his allies, as they too are capable of waging war.
In his first appearance, he battled theFantastic Four, then fled in his escape craft while his starship was destroyed.[1] He then encountered and joined forces withPaibok the Power Skrull.[2] He watched Paibok alterLyja's genetic structure, then arrived on Earth with Paibok. He joined Paibok and Lyja in an attack on theHuman Torch in New York City.[3]
His most notable act is probably his destruction of theSkrull Throneworld, throwing theSkrull Empire intocivil war.[4]
Devos later reappears in theAnnihilation miniseries in the pages ofRonan. On the planet Godthab Omega, he was attacked byTalos the Untamed and later captured byGlorian.[5] Devos conferred with Talos, who realized that Glorian was the one-time pupil of theShaper of Worlds.[6] When the planet was overrun by the Annihilation Wave, Glorian was distracted, releasing Devos and Talos. Ronan ordered the two of them to the spaceport to get off-planet with any other survivors.[7]
During the "One World Under Doom" storyline,Mister Fantastic,Invisible Woman, and Human Torch fight Devos the Devastator. When Human Torch'spyrokinesis starts to fail him, Mister Fantastic rescues him as Invisible Woman uses her powers to deactivate Devos' armor. Afterwards, Devos is arrested by the police.[8]
Devos wears an armored battlesuit that granted him tremendous strength and physical resistance. The suit is equipped with an energy blaster with automated targeting devices mounted on his right shoulder.[9] It can fire projectiles with bazooka force from either shoulder, as well as poison gases or frost grenades via left wrist device and emit powerfulelectric shocks inside the outer surface of his armor. His helmet is also equipped with sophisticated internal sensor systems, designed to allow him see into otherwise invisible portions of the spectrum. It contains a "Luminator", which produces blinding lights. Theanti-gravity generators in his exoskeleton enables him to fly at subsonic speeds.
Devos has access to numerous space vessels, advanced weaponry, and robotic servants, including Sedators (warrior robots), Servo-bots (robots capable of performing maintenance work aboard Devos's starship), and Bouncer-Bots (large humanoid units built to handle and capture specimens for study).[10]
Devos the Devastator appears in theMoon Girl and Devil Dinosaur episode "The Borough Bully", voiced byFred Tatasciore.[11] This version speaks in anilleism.[12]
