King of Tears

The King of Tears is a Lovecraftian-like chaotic entity in the fictional DC universe by DC Comics.
==Background==
The King of Tears is the god of the Subtle Realms. Dimensions beyond those which man perceives. Which are inhabited by entities, whom were cast aside when creation was formalized by the creator. In the mid 20th century he was summoned to Earth by Johnny Sorrow, which the Justice Society of America battled. Not even Spectre could destroy it, though he was able to transform the entity. Capturing its essence which the Green Lantern (Alan Scott) then contained. 
Decades later, Johnny Sorrow summoned it back to Earth again. To enter the universe the entities needed vessels, but Johnny Sorrow was going to make it so that they no longer required that. Manhattan was attacked by a swarm of giant insects which slaughtered and consumed many, until they were stopped by the JSA. Meanwhile the King of Tears manifested on Earth, with skyscraper-sized, tornado like winds surrounding it and creating a steadily expanding labyrinth of skyscraper-tall pillars. He was feasting on everything organic it encountered. Which was stopped by JSA upon their defeat of Johnny Sorrow.
Years later it was once again summoned to earth by Johnny Sorrow and the Injustice Society, who this time planned to enslave the King of Tears. It once again battled the Justice Society of America. Dr. Fate sent Anna Fortune to help the JSA stop the entity and in the process she accidentally released the King of Tears, bringing the Subtle Realms to Earth. It's heart exploded when stabbed by Stargirl.
==King of Tears==
Within the Subtle Realms it is nigh omnipotent, the god of the entities who were banished to that dimension. It has the ability to alter reality around it and bestow powers on others. Johnny Sorrow was given an Eldritch power, in which anyone that sees his true face falls dead, thereby requiring him to wear a mask. The King of Tears lacks a soul, has no conscience, and does not feel guilt. A force of pure evil, though a blind, idiot god that without someone to guide was a rudderless god. It can't be killed and it takes nearly godlike power to stop the entity.
