The origin of Super Villains: Deathbolt
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeathboltIn DC Comics' publications, Deathbolt was a supervillain created by the Ultra-Humanite to fight the All-Star Squadron.
Deathbolt made his first live appearance in the third season of the television series Arrow played by actor Doug Jones. Deathbolt also reappeared in an episode of the first season of The Flash as well.
Wanted for murder, Jake Simmons fled police in a stolen biplane during a heavy storm. He crashed when lightning struck the plane over Meteor Crater, Arizona. The Ultra-Humanite found him and experimented on him until his body became a living electrical battery. Code-named "Deathbolt", he became the Ultra-Humanite's staunch ally until his defeat by the All-Star Squadron.[1]
Deathbolt (or a successor) returned in recent years and tried to kill the late Starman, Ted Knight only to be thwarted by the arrival of Ted's descendant Farris Knight.[2]
