Name: D’tasloo Parva
First Appearance: Wonder Woman #70 (1992)
Creators: William Messner Loeb and Paris Cullens
Abilities: Ruler of a vast space empire which rules a multitude of worlds. In posession of advanced alien technologies. Commands an army of insurmountable size.

---

Backstory: Ruler of the vast and expansive Sangtee Empire. An empire which treats its founding species the Kreel as the elites and all other conquered peoples as second class lesser beings who exist to serve the empire.

Their empire having conquered their own race in its entirety, Sangtee became synonymous with the Kreel. A species which at one point had been known for its Sequential hermaphroditism, in that the species would be born male and over time members of its species would change gender to further their existence.

However the very philosophy of the Sangtee empire is that the female gender is lesser. Thus with the development and master of cloning technology, the Kreel species would see the extinction of the female gender as one of the core tenants of their empire.

Believing that the existence of the female gender in other species is a sign of their inferiority and need to be brought to heel, the alien Sangtee Empire would become expansionist, conquering worlds and conditioning those enslaved to the Sangtee Empire to either adopt their beliefs, or perish.

To ensure this, the women of the species would be enslaved and sent to prison planets where they would spend the rest of their miserable lives being worked to death mining for useless minerals for no other purpose than to keep them under heel. Granting a conquered world access to cloning technology to maintain their species existence only if they prove themselves dedicated to the principles of the Sangtee Empire.

The Sangtee Empire would continue to grow and prosper at the sufferance of the cosmos. Existing for over a thousand years, their empire expanding to include numerous worlds belonging to the Controllers and Khund amongst those enslaved to their rule.

D’tasloo Parva, the current ruler of the Sangtee Empire had been one of that rare 5% of the Kreel population which had been born female. A disgrace for a culture built around misogyny and hatred of women.

The 26 year old emperor spent the first fifteen years of their life undergoing drug therapy, genetic surgery, and mental conditioning to force them to conform to the male gender. Striving to be twice as viscious and capable as those emperors which came before, earning the audulation of the common citizens but the disdain of those aware of the dark truth of the emperor which was known only to a select few.

The empire would continue to expand, working to exterminate the female gender from the cosmos.

The all powerful villain having a penchant for games, would give those he sought to destroy a sporting chance. A tiny sliver of a possibility of escaping his time traps. Not because he has any sense of fairness, but more because their failure to rise to the occasion amuses him to no end.
