It's been over before! I changed that!
~ Ray Thompson
This is my world! I decide who wins, and who loses!
~ Ray Thompson in his mutant form.

Raymond "Ray" Thompson is the main antagonist of the 2-part Justice League episode "Legends".

He was the mascot of the Justice Guild of America who, in reality, was a mutated human being possessing supernatural powers and psychokinetic abilities.

He was voiced by Neil Patrick Harris, who also played Replay in Static Shock, John Tagman in Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Dr. Horrible in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Fairy Shoeperson in Sesame Street, DJ Veteran Child in the Saints Row video games, Music Meister in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Dr. Blowhole in The Penguins of Madagascar, Chester Creb in American Horror Story: Freak Show, Count Olaf in the 2017 A Series of Unfortunate Events television series and The Analyst in The Matrix Resurrections.

Biography[]

Ray Thompson lived in Seaboard City on a parallel earth as a young boy where he idolized the Justice Guild of America. Unfortunately, a nuclear war broke out that destroyed his world and killed the Justice Guild in the process. Ray survived the bomb that destroyed his city along with a few others, but he was horribly mutated as a result. However, Ray also developed the psychic ability to alter reality and used his powers to revert the world too (his view of) what it was like before the war. This included creating “illusions” of the Justice guild that believed they were real and disguising himself in his unmuted form where he would serve as the Guilds unofficial mascot. He would create disasters such as monsters attacking the city and the supervillain team “the injustice guild” to be stopped by his recreations of the guild to live out his fantasy. Other survivors of the war were forced to play whatever roles they had before in his illusionary world but seemed not to age as a result.

Forty years later, a portion of the Justice League consisting of Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter entered the timestream of the alternate Earth, they worked alongside the JGA to defeat schemes planned by the villainous Injustice Guild. Hawkgirl, while ending a battle of this manner, stumbled upon the graves of the "real" JGA, becoming suspicious as to what was really going on. After a series of events, an enraged Ray revealed his true form and his plot (which was simply to recreate the world he once knew and the heroes he worshipped as a child). The JGA learned that they were simply Ray's "creations", and not the true heroes, so in a true act of nobility, they did battle with Ray and "died" once again to save their world, however real it may have been, which in turn, defeated the misguided Ray, but also freed the surviving former inhabitants of the alternate Earth from their 40 year-old fabricated nightmare and gave them back their future.

Powers and Abilities[]

Since his mutation, Ray Thompson possesses tremendous psychic abilities beyond his imaginations.

  • Reality Alteration: Ray Thompson possessed great mental abilities that enabled him to create virtual reality constructs of people and objects, and could also manipulate the same objects. This also kept the survivors from aging for 40 years.
  • Enhanced Intellect: Ray Thompson has an above average intelligence.
  • Strength: Ray Thompson has little physical strength and diminutive size.
  • Teleportation: Ray Thompson is able to teleport anywhere at will.
  • Psychokinesis: Ray Thompson possesses psychokinesis, the ability which gives him telekinesis (able to move objects at will) and telepathy (to read minds and project mental imagery). He was also able to project powerful mental repulsion blasts.

Weaknesses[]

His mental abilities can be strained to the point of incapacitating him, as the recreated Justice Guild found out.

Trivia[]

  • Because of his mutated appearance and psionic abilities, Ray Thompson was based on the DC supervillain Brainwave.
  • On the DVD commentary for Part II, Bruce Timm explained that the name "Ray Thompson" is an homage to 2 different writers: Roy Thomas, a DC writer who worked on 1940s and 1950s-style DC Comics such as All-Star Squadron and Secret Origins (and a tremendous fan of the Justice Society of America), and Ray Bradbury, a famous science-fiction writer who often dealt with the theme of nostalgia.
  • It is unknown what happens to Ray after being defeated by his own re-creations of the Justice Guild.
