Justice League Dark #23.2: Eclipso #1 (2013) is a standalone one-shot released during DC’s Villains Month event. Written by Dan DiDio with art by Philip Tan, the issue serves as a New 52 origin story for the demonic entity Eclipso and his interaction with a new human host, Gordon Jacobs. 

Plot Summary: "Soul Shadows"

• The Protagonist: The story follows Gordon Jacobs, a disgraced solar energy scientist who has lost his job, status, and fiancée following a failed project.
• The Possession: Jacobs discovers a Black Diamond, which houses the ancient spirit Eclipso. Claiming to be the "shadow of God," Eclipso manipulates the desperate scientist into a blood bond by goading him to cut himself with the diamond.
• The Transformation: Eclipso unleashes his full power through Jacobs, eventually using the scientist's body to murder a former colleague, Jonah Bennett, and drain his life force into the diamond.
• A Global Threat: The issue explains that if solar energy ever became the planet's primary power source, it could be used as a weapon against Eclipso; thus, the villain actively works to sabotage solar research. 

Key Characters
