Oziris

Oziris is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. He first appeared in Flash Comics #1 in 1940, created by Gardner Fox and Creig Flessel. Oziris is often depicted as a mystical being or sorcerer with a connection to ancient Egyptian themes and mythology. His powers and abilities vary depending on the specific storyline, but typically include magic, illusion casting, and sometimes divine or semi-divine status.

Throughout his history, Oziris has been portrayed as both an antagonist and, in some instances, a neutral or even heroic figure, depending on the context of the story. His motivations often stem from a desire to reclaim a lost power, maintain ancient magical traditions, or pursue his own inscrutable goals. He has had encounters with various heroes within the DC Universe, most notably the Flash and the Justice Society of America, due to his magical prowess and often world-altering schemes.

The character's design and powers draw heavily from Egyptian deities and symbolism, particularly Osiris, the god of the afterlife. This thematic connection allows for a rich visual and narrative vocabulary, incorporating elements like amulets, hieroglyphs, and desert landscapes. Oziris represents a more mystical and ancient threat within the DC Universe, offering a contrast to the more science-fiction or street-level villains. His appearances, though not as frequent as some other DC villains, have contributed to the diversity of magical and mythological elements within the comic book publisher's mythology.
