Television
- In Justice League Unlimited, the Emerald Eye of Ekron appeared in the DC Animated Universe television series in the episode "Far From Home". It was wielded by the Emerald Empress where it helped her and the Fatal Five in defeating the Legion of Super-Heroes. Using the Eye, the Empress was able to brainwash the Legionnaires into following her commands. However, Brainiac 5 and Bouncing Boy came to recruit Justice League members John Stewart, Green Arrow and Supergirl bringing them to the 30th century to aid them against the Fatal Five. This saw the Emerald Eye being used against them until it was neutralised leading to the arrest of the villains.
- In Legion of Super Heroes, the Emerald Eye of Ekron appeared in the animated television series where it was wielded by the Emerald Empress. In the 30th century, it was discovered in a cave by Sarya of Venegar. She bonded with the Eye and became Emerald Empress. In skirmishes with the Legion of Superheroes, it has been proven the Eye can be neutralized but it adapts and can't be defeated the same way twice. When the Empress was imprisoned on Takron-Galtos, the Eye was confiscated by the Science Police and kept in a special chamber that mentally shields it from its owner. Shrinking Violet was able to infiltrate the Eye and disable its circuitry while Matter-Eater Lad was able to disable it when he attempted to eat it. In the process, he was driven temporarily insane. It is unknown if the Eye was able to repair itself after this incident.
