DEKKO

Full Name: Dekko (born Arthur Dekker)

Appearances: Issues #3-4, 17-18, 26-27 and "Hearts and Minds."

Far more than a mere "supervillain," the mad cyborg known as Dekko has perpetrated some of the most bizarre crimes ever seen on Zot's Earth. Dekko is powerful and dangerous, yet always convinced of the rightness of his actions; and brilliant at rationalizing them in great -- and frighteningly convincing -- detail.

While studying painting in art school, Arthur's body was struck with a terrible disease which resulted in the gradual, piecemeal replacement of every part of him except his brain. In his growing mental instability, Arthur learned to "like" his new body and began designing parts for it. His art took a mechanistic turn, becoming extremely popular among collectors and making Arthur wealthy within a short time.

Having redesigned every aspect of his body, his home and his life as well as legally changing his name, Dekko has given an eerie new meaning to the phrase "self-made man."
