Fictional character biography
Wanted for murder, Jake Simmons fled police in a stolen biplane during a heavy storm only to crash when lightning struck the plane over Meteor Crater, Arizona. 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 (or a successor) returned in recent years and tried to kill the late Starman, Ted Knight.
Powers and abilities
Deathbolt can manipulate the electrical energy in his body into powerful electricity bolts.
