Found by the Ultra-Humanite, Simmons was experimented on 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.

Deathbolt can manipulate the electrical energy in his body into powerful electricity bolts.
