AliasesZehuti

Thoth, also known by the name Zehuti, is a fictional deity in DC Comics, an interpretation of Thoth from Egyptian mythology. In the DC Universe, Thoth serves as an Egyptian figure who has empowered numerous characters, including Black Adam (and the Black Marvel Family) with his powers of wisdom, the both iterations of Ibis the Invincible with the Ibistick, and the Khalid Nassour incarnation of Doctor Fate.

In the Doctor Fate series debuting during the DCYou/New 52 era, the ancient deity is credited as the creator of the Amulet of Thoth (formerly the Amulet of Anubis) and Helmet of Fate (now named the Helmet of Thoth and the Mask of Thoth) that trapped his servant, Nabu, within it for unknown reasons though it was implied it was some kind of punishment. He is first mentioned numerous times by several characters during the "Blood Price" storyline, with Khalid Nassour (a bi-racial Egyptian-American with ties to the royal pharaoh bloodline) chosen to bear his helm. Later, he is called upon by Khalid mentally after losing his battle with Anubis, whom proceeds to defeat the god due to no longer being a worshipped entity (a weakness the Egyptian death god doesn't share) but gifts Khalid the Staff of Power, in which resonates with his blood and grants him enough power to topple Anubis in his place of power.[2]

Joey Toledo

Joey Toledo was a drug dealer working for the 100. When he and his gang members invaded the gymnasium of Garfield High School and attacked Jefferson Pierce, Earl Clifford came to his defense and helped to fight them off. Tobias Whale heard of what happened and ordered Toledo to make an example out of Earl. Joey Toledo led his men into attacking Earl where the altercation led to Earl getting struck by a car. Joey then had his goons suspend his dead body from the basketball net in the gymnasium. With help from Peter Gambi, Jefferson Pierce becomes Black Lightning where he beats up Joey Toledo's men. Afterwards, Black Lightning grabbed Joey and pressured him to tell him everything there was to know about the 100. He told him to meet him at Garfield High's gymnasium at midnight. When Black Lightning went to meet with Joey Toledo, he was caught by surprise when Joey had brought Malcolm Merlyn the Dark Archer with him to kill Black Lightning. The fight was later crashed by Talia al Ghul and the League of Assassins who were not pleased with Merlyn leaving them after failing to kill Batman. The battle turned into a three-way battle where Joey Toledo was killed by a League of Assassins operative.[8]

In 2016, DC Comics implemented another relaunch of its books called "DC Rebirth", which restored its continuity to a form much as it was prior to "The New 52". Joey Toledo appears as a sleazy small-time entrepreneur who sold a sci-fi gun to Rick Simmons. He was found dead after Tobias Whale's right-hand woman Miss Pequod dealt with some loose ends.[9]

Further reading

Typhoon, a.k.a. David Drake, is a supervillain in the DC Universe.

The character, created by Gerry Conway and Jim Starlin, first appeared in Flash #294 (February 1981).

David Drake was a research scientist at Concordance Research. Drake teamed with fellow scientist Professor Martin Stein (who was secretly one half of the hero Firestorm) to develop a new bathysphere prototype.[14] Drake designed the housing of the vessel, while Stein developed the small nuclear reactor that was to be the craft's power source.

In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. During the Forever Evil storyline, Typhoon appears as a member of the Secret Society of Super Villains. The Crime Syndicate sent Typhoon with Black Bison, the Hyena, Multiplex and Plastique to finish Gorilla Grodd's job. They were defeated by the Rogues since one of their targets was at the hospital where Captain Cold's sister was staying.[15]

In the Watchmen sequel Doomsday Clock, Killer Frost mentioned in a TV interview that Typhoon was created by the government.[16] Typhoon is among the villains that attend the underground meeting held by the Riddler that talks about the Superman Theory. He and Moonbow claim that they were not created by the government. When the Penguin suggests that they hand Typhoon and Moonbow over to the government, Typhoon attacks the Penguin until he is shot in the face by the Comedian. The issue's final pages reveal the revised history of Typhoon, including that his powers were created in a "controlled accident" after Drake tested positive for the metagene and he was thereafter enlisted as a government agent, while proving that the Superman Theory was partially true. The Director of the Department of Metahuman Affairs orders that Typhoon's body be retrieved for study.[17]

Powers and abilities of Typhoon

The accident that gave David Drake his abilities made him, in essence, the living eye of a storm. As Typhoon, Drake generates a whirlwind around the lower half of his body that enables him to fly or hover.[18] Typhoon can also project lightning from his fingertips, channeling the energy at times as powerful electric blasts.[19] Typhoon can also generate storms of tremendous strength that generate tornadoes and driving hail.[20] While the storms were originally localized to Drake's vicinity, over time he has gained the ability to generate entire storm systems that can stretch over multiple states.[21] Typhoon can also grow in size relevant to size of the storm system he is generating. At times, he has grown larger than a skyscraper when generating a storm system of sufficient strength.[22] Typhoon can change back and forth between his superhuman form and that of David Drake at will. He has shed his costume and returned to operating in the nude.[23]
