Derek Powers — better known as Blight — was the defining villain of the Batman Beyond animated series, and his plastic representation has been almost nonexistent outside of this 2021 McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse release. For fans of the 1999 WB animated property, this figure is the centerpiece of a collection, and for wave completists it's non-negotiable: Blight is figure #4 of 4 in the Batman Beyond Collect to Build wave, meaning he carries the final BAF component needed to assemble the Batman Futures End (Jokerbot) build-a-figure. No Blight, no complete Jokerbot — it's that simple.
This example is presented in the collector-format black window box McFarlane adopted for the DC Multiverse line, a significant step up from traditional blister card packaging. The box construction is intact and structurally sound, with the clear window panel displaying the figure and accessories cleanly. The black cardstock shows no meaningful crushing or corner damage, and the window retains its clarity without yellowing or crazing — condition that holds up well against what typically circulates at secondary market. This is an honest, first-hand assessment from our team, not catalog copy.
The figure itself showcases McFarlane's collector-grade sculpting approach that re-energized DC figure collecting in the early 2020s. Blight's purple-and-dark armor deco with green accent detailing translates the animated character design into three dimensions with genuine fidelity, and the 22 points of articulation — prominently called out on the front panel — offer posing range well beyond what DC fans were accustomed to from prior mass-market lines. The alternate unmasked head (showing Derek Powers' glowing irradiated face) adds display versatility that hardcore Batman Beyond fans will appreciate immediately.
The back panel lays out the full Batman Futures End BAF parts breakdown diagram across all four wave slots, confirming this figure ships with the final piece (stamped wave release dates of 04/2021 through 10/2021 are visible). A collectible trading card is also included — noted on-box as English-language only. The wave also saw variant deco releases including atomic/translucent and GITD editions, which adds secondary-market context for collectors tracking which version they're acquiring; this is the standard retail deco release.
If you're building out the Batman Beyond DC Multiverse wave or simply want the most substantial Blight figure ever produced, this is your entry point. We stand behind our condition descriptions, and questions about this piece are always welcome before purchase.
