Dr. Pytor Orloff is a scientist who tried to steal Central City citizens' life energies to achieve eternal youth. He was able to steal the Flash's life force before the superhero and his team managed to stop him and reverse his actions.
History
Pytor Orloff worked at Corbin Taft Industries before he was fired for using company resources to finance illegal experiments.
Years later, he broke into Magnus Labs and stole the Gamma Absorption Array which was a machine that used radiation to meddle with the cellular structures of a human body. The Flash eventually faced him but Orloff activated the machine which hit the Scarlet Speedster with its energy. As a consequence, the Flash began aging the more he used his Speed Force powers.
Later, Orloff raided Mercury Labs to steal an energy amplifier to use as a boost for the Gamma Absorption Array. Orloff planned to steal the life energies of Central City citizens' life to become younger, as he had always been obsessed with eternal life.
An aged Flash managed to gather up his last energies to prevent the activation of the boosted Gamma Absorption Array and reverse its effects, causing Orloff to visibly age. Later, Orloff was arrested by the Central City Police Department and sent to Iron Heights.[1]
