Yeah, Starro was the original enemy of the first Justice League (in 1960-whatever) -- a really lame and stupid monster that has been brought back forever because he/it was the first JLA villain. In most versions he conquers entire galaxies with mind powers and making duplicates of him/itself (because, you know, you can cut up starfish and they regrow, so it totally makes sense that giant mind-controlling alien starfish would regrow lots of copies of themselves to take over galaxies -- ah, the early 60's)
