History

Ren Daggle was a Durlan, born in the 20th Century, who originally served on the intergalactic police force L.E.G.I.O.N., which he also helped found. He is most well known though for his advocacy and immense financial support of the Legion of Super-Heroes, who he came in contact with after being transported 1000 years into the future. The heroes Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl saved his life from an assassination attempt early on in their careers. Despite his alien origins, he was trapped in a human form by the deadly Yorggian fever (the Durlans are a normally shapeshifting race). After being frozen in a human form, he amassed a vast fortune by making stars, using advanced technology to create suns for clients. He became one of the richest men in the galaxy, and bought a private planetoid where he built his mansion. In human form, Daggle has taken on the name René Jacques Brande, more commonly shortened to "R.J. Brande".
R.J. Brande was eventually assassinated by his arch-rival, Leland McCauley, during the events of Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds.
