- — Willik src
Willik was one of Darkseid's Elite; in charge of the Protectorate which ensured that the strict norms of Apokolips were maintained.
History
Female Furies
When the Female Furies tried to have their elite status on Apokolips recognized; Willik devised humiliating tests for the Furies to fail. The "Bake Off". The "Evening Gowns". And he had begun lusting after Furies leader Aurelie. Having some kind of sensitive spy device, Willik saw Aurelie and Big Barda kill Steppenwolf's bastard Rublon and bury his body on a comet. [1]
When he had blackmailed her into repeated "Special Private Training" sessions; Willik started harassment with groping and it ended with Aurelie pregnant.[2]
After Aurelie killed Himon's daughter in a raid; Willik again tried to "train" Aurelie, but she soundly beat him; so beautifully that she was charged with dancing. Darkseid asked if Willik had touched her; and Willik was believed when he denied it.
Aurelie escaped the Furies, but was recaptured, and it was Willik that stepped forward to "rehabilitate" her. Metal boots had been heated white-hot, and he clamped them on Aurelie's legs in his final act of cruelty. She danced until she died and Willik claimed it was a training accident.
Soon Willik's gaze found Big Barda, but he failed to blackmail her and she found favor by confessing her crime to Darkseid. Soon it was Barda hunting Willik, as the Furies captured him and gained their revenge for Aurelie by putting Willik into a Micro Black Hole, which would pull him apart for eternity.
