Mano (character)

Mano is a fictional character that is a DC Comics supervillain living in the 30th century and, as a member of the Fatal Five, a foe of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Created by Jim Shooter, the character first appeared in Adventure Comics #352 (January 1967).
Following the Zero Hour reboot of the Legion, Mano was reintroduced, with his origin slightly altered; while he still destroyed his planet, the inhabitants were already dead, as a result of chemical weaponry. He then sought revenge on the industrialist Leland McCauley, who had sold the weapons. While Mano later became a more conventional supervillain, his priority remained revenge on McCauley, and he continued to disapprove of the destruction of innocents, something that sometimes set him against the other members of the Five.
Mano was not seen in Mark Waid's incarnation of the Legion of Super-Heroes, though the limited series Brave and the Bold depicts Mano along with the rest of the Five as having been incarcerated by the Legion.
During the 2008 Final Crisis storyline, Mano (alongside the other Fatal Five members) was among the supervillains in Superboy-Prime's Legion of Super-Villains.
Powers and abilities
Mano has an "Anti-Matter Touch" that disintegrates any form of matter and is powerful enough to destroy an entire planet.
