Official Site: DC Comics

Wotan was a fiction DC Comics supervillain and the archenemy of Doctor Fate until his recent reformation at the hand of Yahweh himself.

Strangely enough, the being now known as Wotan started out life as a Stone Age woman who was rape (by someone claiming to be a servant of God, apparently). She studied the black arts and became such a powerful sorceress that she was worshiped as a goddess. She later learned how to switch from body to body and then to direct her own reincarnation, eventually becoming the male being now known as Wotan. In the Golden Age, Wotan encountered first Green Lantern and then the sorcerer known as Dr. Fate, and became Dr. Fate's archnemesis.

During the second volume of the The Spectre in the eighties, he tried to take over the body of the sorceress Zatanna, but failed miserably. Later on, in the early nineties, Wotan discovered the temple where the last body of the being known as Yahweh - God Himself - lay entombed, still seething with mystical power. Wotan entered the tower with the intention of absorbing the power in that body, confronting God himself, and supplanting Him. But he then emerged blinded, his evil having been burnt out by God's power. Declaring that Wotan would never menace anybody again, one of Yahweh's servants spirited Wotan away so that he could begin his new life.

Physically, Wotan was a tall man with a slender build and green skin. He had black hair and purple eyes. He dressed in a red costume with a green cape and green boots.

Wotan has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
