Notable Individuals: Androvax

The Veil were a species capable of taking over the bodies of other species.

Biology

The Veil were a reptilian humanoid race, with scaly skin and horns of various size protruding from their head and shoulders. They also had a long tongue which it could flail and retract at will and would show up when they possessed someone.

A Veil's tongue. (SJA: Prisoner of the Judoon)

The Veil were capable of possessing other beings, effectively allowing them to "jump" into their bodies. When possessed, the Veil would be able to control the person and gain some of their memories, though the original person would be able to communicate with the Veil. The Veil also had the ability to stun people, a procedure which could be stopped by spraying the affected with water. (SJA: Prisoner of the Judoon)

History

The Veil were an ancient species, conquering worlds long before Earth had formed. At some point before the 21st century, the Veil planet was turned into a ball of ice when their star was extinguished, wiping out all but Androvax, who had been travelling the stars and returned to find his people dead. He became a criminal who destroyed planets because he believed the truth of the universe was destruction and was teaching them the way of the universe. This made him number one of the Judoons known enemy list for destroying twelve planets. Androvax was eventually taken into custody by the Judoon. (SJA: Prisoner of the Judoon)

The Veil was a collection of eighteen Spires on the planet Orisha. The purpose of the Veil was to fold space over and over again to hide the Orishan from the Eye of Erykon. Unfortunately, this device is what actually caused the Eye of Erykon. (TTN novel: Sword of Damocles)

History

The Veil was a secret criminal organization led by a mysterious armored individual known as Pylon. The purpose behind the Veil was to seek out, target and eliminate extraterrestrial threats to the planet Earth. Pylon learned about a new group of young heroes calling themselves the Teen Titans and discovered that they were genetically bred alien/human hybrids, created by the race known as the H'San Natall.

The first of the H'San Natall's sleeper agents that they discovered was the primitive alien known as Fringe. While tracking Fringe through the forests outside of Leesburg, the Veil agents ran afoul of Leesburg's resident super-hero, Supergirl. Armed with hi-tech weaponry, they were able to capture both Supergirl and Fringe. They took them back to their lair where they were suspended from a device that negated their powers. [1]

All of the H'San Natall's experimental subjects shared a psychic link with one another and it wasn't long before the Teen Titans learned of Fringe and that he was in trouble. The Titans, accompanied by Captain Marvel, Jr., Nightwing and Robin tracked the Veil down and fought them at their headquarters. The heroes succeeded in rescuing Supergirl and Fringe, but Pylon and his masked agents escaped. [2]

A few weeks later, the Titans returned to the Veil compound only to find that it was abandoned. Their presence activated a self-destruct program that destroyed the building, but the Titans managed to escape. [3]

Pylon then hired a mercenary outfit known as Dark Nemesis to bait the Titans into a trap so that they could study their powers. This plan too proved to be a failure, but the Veil did succeed in acquiring comprehensive biological data on all the Titans members. [4]

The Veil returned when they discovered that the Teen Titans were having a recruitment drive on the top of a Metropolis night club called the Stain. Although they had compiled dossiers on the known team members, they did not have adequate information concerning all of the potential recruits, not to mention the Atom's power upgrades which he developed during the "Genesis" event. The battle turned into a massive superhuman free-for-all, but ultimately the Veil was forced to retreat. [5]
