He's one of the most important people in Justice League history. He's one of the most sadistic villains in the DC Universe. His name is Maxwell Lord, and you've probably only heard his name a few times. But he'll play a major role in the new cinematic DC Universe starting in James Gunn's Superman reboot movie, where he's played by none other than Sean Gunn, the writer/director's own brother.
If you've heard of Maxwell Lord before, there's a good chance you recognize him from Wonder Woman 1984, where he was played to maximum '80s guy kitschiness by Pedro Pascal (who is now starring as Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic in this summer's other big superhero blockbuster, Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps).
