Doctor Sivana - Other Versions

Other Versions

• In Superman: Red Son, Dr. Sivana briefly appears as a United States defector to Superman's Russia.
• In Jeff Smith's 2007 limited series Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil, Sivana is introduced in issue #2, as the new Attorney General of the United States. While ostensibly dedicated to stomping out terrorist threats, Sivana is more interested however in gaining technology from the invading alien Mr. Mind to develop into weapons, and to use the fear caused by the Mind's Monster Society to start a new war he can profit from. He is eventually caught on live TV throwing Mary Marvel from the top of one of Mr Mind's war machines, and is arrested.
• Dr. Sivana made a cross-company cameo in Marvel Comics' The Amazing Spider-Man #335, in which he fights Captain America at a staged charity battle.
• In Brazilian Portuguese this character was named "Dr. Silvana".
• Dr. Emil Gargunza, a major antagonist in Miracleman (né Marvelman), is based on Dr. Sivana. In Alan Moore's retcon, Gargunza is a super-genius who elevated himself from childhood poverty through crime, then became a scientist. He created the Miracleman family at the behest of the British government with alien technology recovered from a crashed vessel. All of their Golden Age fights (including ones against Gargunza) were hallucinations induced by him to program their minds. Miracleman eventually acknowledges Gargunza as his "father", then kills him.
• Dr. Sivana will appear in Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam!. Mike Kunkle's design differs greatly from other versions: He's actually taller than Billy and Mary Batson.
• Lex Luthor refers to Sivana in Kingdom Come as the source of the mind altering worms used to induce schizophrenia on Captain Marvel.
• Sivana appears in issue 15 of the Justice League Unlimited comic book, when he tried to rebuild Mister Atom.
