Himon is a brilliant scientist who lives on Apokalips.
"Himon
is a survivor in a very, very hard world. He inspires people."- "The
King," 1984
He discovered the "X-element," which
possesses teleportational powers. He is the sole voice of good on a planet of
pure evil. He was the mentor of Scott Free, and with his help (lots of people
helped Scott Free) he helped him escape Apokalips. Though thought dead at the
hands of Darkseid and his troops for some time, he was in fact alive; even
Darkseid realizes that Himon's good is necessary on Apokalips. He has a
daughter, Bekka, who was a lover of Orion for some time. He and his daughter
briefly escaped Apokalips to live on New Genesis, but for reasons unknown, he
has returned to Apokalips to continue his studies and research.
