Destiny is the main antagonist of the DC animated film Justice League Dark. A demonic sorcerer from the Middle Ages, he was an enemy of Jason Blood and the wizard Merlin. He was voiced by Alfred Molina.
History[]
Destiny was said to have been a former man of science by Merlin in Arthurian times before turning insane after wielding the power of his personal artifact, the Dreamstone. With it, he brought many towns to their knees by making them live their worst nightmares, but a group of knights led by Jason Blood attempted to defeat him. All of them were mortally wounded, forcing Merlin to unleash the power of Etrigan, which forced Destiny's soul into the Dreamstone.
By the 21st century, the Dreamstone had fallen into the possession of the wizard John Constantine, who stored it in the House of Mystery. It was revealed that Constantine's old friend Ritchie Simpson had made a deal with Destiny that would give him immortality to cure him of his disease. However, Destiny exploited a loophole in their deal by possessing him and wreaking havoc in Metropolis. While he was able to defeat Swamp Thing and Etrigan, Destiny was ultimately defeated by Constantine and Deadman. He was finally killed by Jason Blood, who used Etrigan's sword to stab him through the back and through the Dreamstone in his chest, destroying it. He was then sent to Hell by Constantine.
Trivia[]
Destiny is based on the DC Comics character Doctor Destiny. Originally a scientist in his first comic appearance, he gained the power to assault people's dreams through experimentation with a machine.
