Klarion is a major antagonist in Young Justice. He is one of the cosmic Lords of Chaos and a member of the Light organization on Earth. Klarion manifests in the appearance of a teenage boy with a petulant and nasty personality, but he is actually a primordial entity of elemental chaos that predates the current universe. His job is to cause as much chaos, destruction, suffering and discord on Earth as he can, and he uses his pet, Teekl, to stay bound to the physical universe.
He is voiced by Thom Adcox-Hernandez.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- As a Lord of Chaos, he lives only to cause mayhem and destruction, and to increase his own power as a means to spread more chaos across the universe.
- Thousands of years ago, he slaughtered a village of young metahumans created by Vandal Savage, who returned to find Klarion sitting atop a mound of their corpses.
- Klarion proceeded to torture Vandal Savage for 300 days by killing him every day in a variety of different ways, ranging from dismemberment, decapitation, impalement, crushed to death, and incineration.
- He sunk the city of Atlantis per Vandal Savage's request, but even after this, he decided to take it a step further and sink the entire continent of Atlantis for his own amusement, cackling during the act. This resulted in the near total-extinction of the Atlantean race, and was something Vandal hadn't intended.
- Klarion only joined the Light to cause more chaos and because it seemed amusing.
- He and Abra Kadabra kidnapped Kent Nelson and tortured him to force Kent to reveal the location of the Helmet of Fate.
- He attempted to steal the Helmet of Fate in order to permanently destroy Nabu and ensure he could not re-materialize on the physical plane.
- He killed Kent Nelson.
- During the fight with Dr. Fate, he mocked Nabu's weakened state due to his host's lack of affinity for the mystic arts.
- He fled the Tower of Fate and left Abra Kadabra behind.
- Klarion used his powers to separate all the children and all the adults in the world from each-other by shunting them into separate parallel universes. This caused upheaval and disarray on a global scale, and placed children around the world that were in moving vehicles at the time of the transfer into life-threatening situations. Klarion used this as a way to distract The Team and Justice League so that the Light could continue its plans. This also forced Zatanna to use the Helmet of Fate, which would lead to Zatara taking her place and being forced to become the next Doctor Fate.
- While fighting Doctor Fate for the second time, Klarion mocked the Lord of Order for losing control due to the divided worlds, as well as mocking Zatanna's sacrifice as worth nothing.
- Though he initially expressed some fondness for the other four sorcerers who helped him cast the child/adult separating spell after they were defeated, Klarion later left them to be apprehended by Doctor Fate after they were defeated, and there is overall no evidence that his kinship with them was actually based in genuine care and not just past experiences of mutual sadism.
- Klarion personally helped the Light to finish the Starro-based mind control technology, which the Light used to mind-control the entire Justice League.
- He used the Starro tech to brainwash the Justice League to attack the planet of Rimbor for hours. The rampage resulted in multiple deaths and mass destruction on the planet.
- Klarion and Vandal Savage afterwards framed the Justice League for their brainwashed actions on Rimbor, leaving the Justice League in a position where they had to prove their innocence to the court for a long time as the Light continued its plans.
- Klarion awakened Tiamat, an alien weapon, to be used by The Light. Tiamat's awakening would force Aquagirl to sacrifice herself in order to defeat Tiamat, making Klarion indirectly responsible for her death.
- He helped Vandal retake possession of the Warworld, which Vandal then used to threaten Rimbor with destruction if they attacked Earth.
- Klarion captured about half-a-dozen children and teenagers that had the Meta-gene, forcibly activated the Meta-gene in each of them, and painfully forced them to fuse inside an abominable flesh creature; leaving them trapped in utter terror within the creature for his own personal amusement.
- He tortured a group of hummingbirds off-screen for his own amusement.
- After he was defeated by another Lord of Chaos, Child, destroying his physical form via killing Teekl, Klarion possessed a bus (full of kids and one adult) and callously carried them with his temporary bus form all over time and space as he sought to get help stopping Child, endangering and almost killing them several times.
- When summoned by Zatanna to pay back the debt for helping him defeat Child and restore his body by bringing Superboy back from the Phantom Zone, Klarion refused, showing no gratitude and attempting to kill Zatanna and the rest of her allies. The only reason he spared them was because the other Lords of Chaos forced him to honor the debt, and he still refused to help bring Superboy home.
- Klarion surpasses the in-story heinous standards of the series, as he is responsible for the first on-screen death in the series.
- While once mischievous, he ended up shedding that trait as the series progressed.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He had a few comical and light-hearted moments where he was not taken seriously.
- He appears to genuinely care about Teekl, crying out in distress and shedding tears when she was killed by Child's familiar, Flaw, and openly mourning her as his best friend in a unique moment of vulnerability.
Trivia[]
