Devilance is a New God from Apokolips and a hunter who serves its leader, Darkseid. During an attempt to kill the Forever People, Devilance battles Infinity-Man and is presumed dead.[2]

In 2016, DC Comics implemented a relaunch called "DC Rebirth", which restored its continuity to a form much as it was prior to The New 52. In Dial H for Hero, Devilance battles Robby Reed with DeSaad, Kalibak, Tigra, Steppenwolf, and the Parademons.[7]
