Black Boris

A creature of shadow and menace, Black Boris stepped onto the page in 2012 courtesy of Jeff Lemire and Mikel Janín, emerging from the darkest corners of DC's Modern Age to haunt the pages of Justice League Dark. With only a handful of appearances to their name, this is a rare and enigmatic figure — the kind of obscure antagonist who makes the supernatural world of that series feel genuinely dangerous and unpredictable. Sharing pages with heavy hitters like Felix Faust, Blackbriar Thorn, and Doctor Mist, Black Boris occupies a fascinating niche in DC's occult landscape, the sort of deep-cut discovery that reminds devoted readers just how richly populated the darker corners of the DC Universe truly are.
