Dolos is the Duke of Deception, a minor god of the Olympian pantheon and member of Villainy, Inc..
History
Years ago, Dolos and his sister Apate hatched a plan to invade Themyscira: while Apate distracted the Amazons with a false case of murder that had occurred on the island, Dolos would be free to search for the Secret Flame of Prometheus, which Ares hid underneath the island millennia ago and with which they could turn the lies they wove into reality. However, they were overcome by the combined work of Wonder Woman and her comrades-in-arms Superman and Batman & Robin in the very first adventure of the Trinity, and were imprisoned behind the Doom's Doorway.[2]
In recent times, Dolos was sent to Doctor Psycho by Hera to help him defeat Wonder Woman after he formed the group Villainy, Inc.[3] Cizko and Dolos combined powers of illusion to attract Diana in an attempt to kill her with Cizko assaulting her mentally and Dolos stabbing her. Their attempt ultimately failed and Dolos fled.[4]
