Doc is a brilliant scientist and member of the Omega Men.
History
He hails from the planet Aello which is located in the Vega system, the same world as Harpis and Demonia. Doc was a zelous scientist who felt that his brain held more potential than his mind of flesh could contain. His solution was to to employ computer-based intelligence to amplify his own biological brain power. His colleagues warned that Doc would be sacrificing his humanity but he would not be deterred. His mind was transferred into a cybernetic head, which was then attached to his body.[1]
Doc has consistently been a positive beacon among the Omega Men since joining them.[2] Being half machine, half flesh, he is ideally suited to solve problems of both kinds.
Doc was seemingly murdered by a Durlan shape-shifter who was hiding on the Omega Men's ship,[3] but later appeared alive and well but still in his artificial body.[4]

Notes
- Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985–86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
