How to Buy: Either in a three pack with Superman and Sinestro, or as a single with his shield. The three pack method may be preferred, due to the packaging with a rare character (Sinestro), but that assortment is getting very rare.

Aztek is an obscure character; in both the show and the source comics. He lasted only 10 issues in his own comic series before being moved by one of his creators, Grant Morrison, to the JLA series he was writing at the time. Sadly, the character would wind up dead. He wound up on the show by virtue of his visual design, and his only speaking role was in the Season 3 opener, "I Am Legion".

...But... what a visual design it is! It translated well into both the show and in figure form. Aztek looks good with any JLU figure display, and tends to be a favorite of many collectors, despite his limited appearances.

Aztek comes with his shield. While it has never been featured on the show or (to my knowledge) the comics, it does look good with the figure.
