History: (JLA #93 (fb,BTS) - Hundreds of thousands of years ago Pe-Paey was given the Book of Lol, a tome of truth that would guide him on developing the destinies of planets. Over the millennia Pe-Paey forgot who gave him the book, anfd his race went extinct, leaving him the last of his kind, but he continued to monitor Earth.

(JLA #91-93)- Pe-Paey’s ship arrived near Earth;s moon, causing a meteor storm that ripped holes in the JLA Watchtower. The JLA investigated and met the alien Pe-Paey, who told them he monitored Earth’s progress from time to time and needed to locate specimens of the silver-masked monkey. The JLA traveled with Pe-Paey to South America, but found a construction crew demolishing the monkey’s last habitat for grazing land. Superman spotted a silver-mask and tried to save it, but the crew’s explosives were already set and the blast killed the monkey, probably the last of its species. Pe-Paey was upset; his people’s Book of Lol predicted the silver-masks would become Earth’s dominant species. He asked to see all of Earth, and the JLA obliged, taking him to monuments, museums, an in the interest of full disclosure, and at Superman’s request, strife ridden countries like Santa Prisca and Minglia. The JLA foiled insurgents and terrorists in Minglia, and asked Pe-Paey what he thought. Pe-Paey assured them the silver-masks should have been the dominant species, and that humanity was choosing to become extinct, so he would help. He used his ship to bring meteors crashing toward Earth, but the JLA stopped any damage and told him their race was confused, not suicidal. Disheartened by the inaccuracies in the Book of Lol, the only thing he believed in, Pe-Paey returned to his ship and blew it up, killing himself.
