Ned Creegan (Earth-One)

Ned Creegan was a career criminal who gained powers after being accidentally exposed to radioactive material.

History

His first foray as a supervillain was completely unintentional as his body started to change and his skeleton was exposed during a fight with Batman and Robin. Ironically, the nickname Bag O'Bones was given to him by the Boy Wonder. Because of the nature of his condition, his life-span was shortened every second he spent as Bag O'Bones and he surrendered in order to find a cure. Creegan was cured momentarily and he was subsequently convicted to prison.^[1]

His powers eventually evolved, and he adopted the names Cyclotronic Man (fighting Black Lightning and Superman) and One Man Meltdown (against the Outsiders). He was unsuccessful on both occasions, and agreed to undergo treatment to undo the radiation damage.

Notes

• This version of Cyclotronic Man, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series. Even though versions of the character may have since appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
