First appearance: Silver Age #1 (July 2000)
Status: Villain
Real name: Unpronounceable/unspellable
Occupation: Would-be universe conqueror
Base: Outer space
Special powers/abilities: Imbues inanimate objects with his energy, bring them to life; causes personas to swap bodies.
Composed of cosmic energy, Agamemno was one of the first sentient beings formed in the wake of the Big Bang. Upon seeing the vastness of space, Agamemno wanted to control it, to rule the other lifeforms just being born. His father, however, wanted to control the cosmos himself, thereby pitting himself against his son. Seeking an advantage to end this stalemate, Agamemno converted himself into sentient energy and toured the universe in search of three objects that could be pieced together into a killing weapon.
His search brought him to Earth during the early days of the modern heroic age, where he manipulated superpowered heroes and villains to do his bidding. The various members of the JLA managed to thwart his scheme, however, and kept the objects from being used. Agamemno then returned to space, seeking another way to beat his father for control of the cosmos.

Superhero/villain Sunday : Abra Kadabra
First Appearance: FLASH (1st series) #128 (May 1962)
Status: Villain
Real name: Citizen Abra
Occupation: Technosorcerer
Base: Keystone City
Special powers/abilities: Kadabra's magic like powers were purely the result of futuristic technology. However, he is now a genuine sorcerer.
In the 64th century, Earth was ruled by the Chronarch and his Central Clockworks, Citizen Abra rebelled against the strict order of the Chronarch's world. Championing individuality, Abra was seen as a criminal and banished to Earth's ancient past. Transplanted to Central City at the end of the 20th century, Abra used 64th century technology to create a new identity and became the criminal Abra Kadabra. Desperate for adulation, and possessing powers so amazing they seemed magical, Abra Kadabra crafted a series of spectacular crimes, hoping to win admirers.
Thwarted time and again by the second FLASH, Kadabra's technology was accidentally damaged, and he was transformed into a ghost like entity. Restored to normal, Kadabra was brought back to the 64th century by a bounty hunter named Peregrine. Kadabra was about to be executed when the Flash saved him and destroyed the Central Clockworks. Returning to the 21st century, Kadabra was stripped of his powers, but after a deal with the demon NERON, Abra Kadbra became a true sorcerer, able to cast spells and fire energy bolts.
A narcissistic criminal mastermind in two centuries, Abra Kadabra is consumed by two things; a desire for adulation and hatred of the Flash.
