History:
As a schoolboy, Doctor Psycho was laughed at by his classmates because of his diminutive stature and unusually large head. Psycho especially took offense to being laughed at by girls. Throughout his subsequent life, Psycho felt both desire for beautiful women and a psychotic hatred of all women.

Psycho went to medical school and began research into psionics. He fell in love with a young woman named Marva, who regarded him merely as a friend. Psycho decided to hypnotize Marva into loving him. He then discovered that he could use Marva as a medium through which he could draw ectoplasm, the substance found in the spirit world, and materialize it on Earth in whatever form he willed. Psycho used the ectoplasm to materialize a handsome body around himself, and married Marva. However, he could no maintain his handsome form when Marva was either absent or free from his hypnotic influence, and for that reason, Psycho came to resent her. Marva was finally hit by a car and died, and it has been implied that Psycho was responsible.

Powers:
Doctor Psycho's only super-power is his psionic ability to shape ectoplasm according to his wishes. Originally he could only do so while in hypnotic control of a human medium whom he used to draw the ectoplasm to Earth. However, he now uses an ectoplasmic extractor device to give him the ectoplasm he needs. He can maintain the form he gives the ectoplasm for as long as he remains conscious.
