[edit] Fictional character biography
Henry Hewitt was CEO of the Hewitt Corporation, as well as a high level director in the 2000 Committee, a vast criminal conspiracy which planned to implement a corporate takeover the world by the year 2000. Hewitt had an operative of the 2000 Committee named Multiplex kidnap Lorraine Reilly the daughter of Senator Walter Reilly.
Reilly was kidnapped by Hewitt, because he wanted to recreate the accident that created Firestorm. Due to his experiments, Reilly's metagene was activated, and she was transformed into the being known as Firehawk. Hewitt, a quadriplegic invalid, wished to use the data he'd gathered to repair his damaged body. He later used the data he'd gathered to transform himself into the villain known as "Tokamak, the Living Reactor".
[edit] Tokamak two
Tokamak reappears in Firestorm, the Nuclear Man #30 (December 2006), and has apparently been the mastermind behind all the recent turmoil in Jason Rusch's life. In this same issue it was revealed that Victor Hewitt, the Vietnamese son of Henry Hewitt, had taken control of Hewitt Enterprises and became the latest Tokamak whenever his father's consciousness asserted itself.
[edit] Powers and abilities
- Tokamak is a "living nuclear reactor", and apparently an unstable one. In his earlier appearances the containment armor he wore was the only thing preventing his body from catastrophic detonating.
- He demonstrated the ability to alter the atomic structure of any inorganic matter trapped within the energy rings he is capable of projecting.
- He can use his rings to compress matter or break down its structural integrity.
- He originally wore an armored containment suit that allowed him limited short range flight.
