Young Justice Outsiders Brought Back A Villain From Season 1

Professor Ivo returns in Young Justice: Outsiders. Ivo is a classic Justice League villain who hasn’t been seen on the show since season 1. The new Young Justice: Outsiders episode, “Elder Wisdom”, sees the Outsiders confronted by Professor Ivo and his robotic minions while trying to rescue a kidnapped girl in Ireland.

First appearing in The Brave and The Bold #30 in 1960, Professor Ivo is one of the Justice League’s longest-lasting and most brilliant enemies. One of the many mad scientists common to Silver Age comic books, Professor Ivo was notable as a master of robotics who sought the secret of eternal life. He first came into conflict with the Justice League when they encountered his robots stealing rare ingredients for an immortality elixir. Ironically, Ivo would eventually prove successful in his quest to live forever, but the process which gave him eternal life also left him horribly scarred and in such severe pain that he longed for death.

Ivo’s search for immortality was left out of his characterization when he was adapted for Young Justice. Here, Ivo is an expert in robotics, who created Amazo – a robot capable of replicating the powers of any superhero it encounters. As in the comics, Ivo hoped to destroy the Justice League with his creation. Thankfully, Amazo was stopped by Superboy, who deactivated the robot with one well-timed punch as it phased back into a solid state after becoming intangible to dodge a slower attack.

Thankfully, Ivo is without his Amazo robot when he is encountered by the Outsiders in “Elder Wisdom” – the first time the team has faced Ivo since season 1 – and the young heroes make short work of Ivo and his Mobile Optimal Neural Quotient Infiltrators (or MONQIs), which resemble tiny robot monkeys. Thankfully, the girl they came to rescue is unharmed, but Professor Ivo is eventually unmasked as a sophisticated robot duplicate. Where the real Professor Ivo is remains unclear at the episode’s end, but the revelation behind the kidnapping plot provides one of the most interesting cliffhangers in Young Justice history.

Professor Anthony Ivo is also a notable villain in the world of the Arrowverse. He was the chief villain of the flashback sequences of Arrow season 2 and came into contention with Oliver Queen and his allies after he enslaved Sara Lance as a lab assistant and threatened to kill everyone on the island of Lian Yu unless they helped him find a lost shipment of Mirakuru – a miracle serum created by Japanese scientists during World War II, that was lost on Lian Yu. Ivo would indirectly plague Oliver Queen again years later, when his company created the Anti Metahuman Adaptive Zootomic Organism (AMAZO) – an android capable of copying the powers of any metahuman. Intended to be used as an analytic tool for scanning and detaining superpowered criminals, a malfunction caused AMAZO to go on a rampage, requiring the combined efforts of Superman, Supergirl, Flash, and Green Arrow to stop it, during the Elseworlds event.
