This article is about the fictional character. Downpour can also mean heavy rain.

Downpour is a fictional superhero featured in the animated series, Justice League Unlimited, and is a member of the Ultimen. His voice actor is Grey DeLisle.

Character history

Downpour and his twin sister, Shifter, have albino white skin and pointy ears. He has the ability to turn parts of or his entire body into water, and often uses this power in tandem with his sister. Along with the other Ultimen (except Long Shadow), Downpour is fine with the fact that he is a marketing gimmick, and he and Shifter in particular are reported as being popular in the younger age bracket. Due to his powers, he is teased by his teammates about an alleged bed wetting.

Downpour cares deeply for Shifter and gets angry if she is badly harmed. After discovering their true origins and short life expectancies, the Ultimen would do battle with the Justice League in a desperate plan by Wind Dragon. The twins fought Aquaman together and were eventually defeated, even after Downpour turned into a room full of water. When the King of the Sea knocked out his sister, Downpour attacked him in a rage, but his water powers were all but worthless against a man who was completely adapted to living under water. Like the rest of his teammates, he was taken into Cadmus' custody after the fight to await their eventual death.

An army of (mindless, non personality-imprinted) Ultimen clones were later created by Project Cadmus in an attempt to finish off the Justice League once and for all. They were eventually defeated.

Trivia

  • Downpour is directly based on Zan of the Wonder Twins from the Super Friends although he appears to be more serious about being a hero.
