History:
Fleeing from the police in a stole biplane, wanted murderer Jake Simmons flew into the thick of a driving rainstorm over Meteor Crater, Arizona. His plane struck by a stray bolt of lightning, Simmons crashed into the crater, barely alive.

Discovered almost immediately by the villainous Ultra-Humanite, Simmons was carried to Ultra's secret hideout, where he was subjected to certain electrical experiments which charged Simmons like a human battery, sustaining his life. As an unexpected side-effect of the experiments, Simmons discovered he could control the electrical energy in him and around him.

Given a colorful costume and the code name Deathbolt by his rescuer, Simmons fought at Ultra's side until he was finally defeated by members of the heroic All-Star Squadron.

Powers:
An average athlete and hand-to-hand combatant, Deathbolt is also the master of all electrical energy, including the energy within him that sustains his life. He is thus able to generate devastating bolts of electricity from his hand with varying degrees of destructiveness.
