In seeking to eradicate my evil... You have made me supreme! I am now power. I am now death. I am now TRIGON!
— Trigon src

Trigon is an incredibly powerful demon and celestial conqueror. He is an enemy to the Teen Titans and the archenemy of his daughter Raven.

Origins

Trigon was originally the ruler of an unknown planet in the Multiverse. Eventually, a trinity of beings called the Divine came to his planet, during their quest to eradicate the concept of evil, through an item known as the Heart of Darkness. The Divine then used the Heart of Darkness on Trigon and his guards. However, they were horrified when Trigon not only resisted, but consumed the Heart of Darkness, along with the collected evils of nearly one hundred galaxies, which heralded the true birth of Trigon. With his newfound power, Trigon killed the Divine, who he revealed were his parents, before shredding them of their flesh and wearing their skin.[1]

Now driven by insatiable hunger for evil, Trigon moved slowly from universe to universe, spreading his devastating brand of evil in order to sate a hunger that knows no end. He became the ruler of dozens of dark kingdoms across the multiverse. However, enslaving worlds eventually became tedious to him.[2] Trigon began summoning women from other worlds to mate with and impregnate them, then send them back in an attempt to spread his evil across countless universes. Thousands of brides were brought to Trigon, however all of them wither died during conception or took their own lives after being impregnated, as they couldn't live with the thought of giving birth to Trigon's spawn.[1]

Eventually, Trigon is brought a human from Earth known as Arella, who gives him his first daughter; Raven.[1] Shortly after her birth, Arella and Raven sought refuge in Azarath - a dimension dedicated to the notion of universal peace.[2] This allowed Raven to elude Trigon for years, until Raven was eventually brought to him by the Phantom Stranger.[3]

At some point in time, Trigon claimed his place the hierarchy of Hell, ruling over his own pocket dimension within Hell, called the Underrealm of the Six Kingdoms of Trigon.[4][5] Part of Trigon's underrealm is referred to as the Dark Dimension, by the All-Caste. This realm can be accessed behind the Great Door of Azarath.[6]

Dawn of DC

Eventually, a new version of the Satanic Triumvirate was formed, composing of Trigon, the First of the Fallen, and Lady Blaze as the leader.

At the climax of Darkseid's rampage across the Godsphere, he reached Hell searching for the Spectre. After quickly defeating the legions of Hell, the New God faced the Triumvirate but, before he could slaughter them all, Trigon convinced him that the Wrath of God was not in Hell, so Darkseid opened a Boom Tube and left the Underworld for Heaven.[7]

Powers

  • Demonic Physiology: Trigon was an unknown alien species spawned by a trinity of cosmic beings called the Divine, who attempted to use the Heart of Darkness to absorb the evil from Trigon's soul. However, Trigon was able to overcome and merge with the Heart of Darkness, causing him to absorb the collected evil from nearly one hundred galaxies. This transformed Trigon into a demonic creature with near limitless power.[1] Due to his particular creation and heritage, Trigon is a unique species of demon, distinctive from traditional demons from Hell.

He was completely unaffected by the punches of Superboy and Wonder Girl, as well as the light constructs of Bunker.

    • Magic: Trigon possesses vast magical power that he can use for a variety of effects. Trigon's magic is also passed down to his offspring, granting them unique traits, such as Raven's empathy among her other abilities.[12] Trigon has also been known to use Chaos Magic.[13] He can place an "attraction spell" on an object that can tempt even high-tier demons.[14]
    • Metamorphosis: Trigon is able to alter his appearance at will.

    • Superhuman Reflexes[11]
    • Superhuman Strength: Trigon can crush buildings and tear apart streets.[10]
    • Telekinesis: Trigon can mentally manipulate the movement of objects. He can even move artificial objects, such as the light constructs of Bunker.
