History

A rogue scientific genius who produced technological devices to fight Superman or even sell to other villains. He once sold a nuclear bomb to the Joker, who used it against Superman.

Professor Killgrave was first seen when he tried to escape from Stryker's Island Penitentiary with a giant robot, Superman quickly stopped Killgrave and was put on maximum security, under twenty-four hour surveillance. He tried to escape another time a couple of years later but was stopped once again by Superman and Starman.

After the many humiliations against the Man of Steel, Killgrave allied himself with Hi-Tech. They began by weakening Superman thanks to a nuke, and once they trapped him in a cave Thaddeus backstabbed Hi-Tech as he rigged her war suit with another thermo-nuclear device, hoping to kill both, but her and Superman managed to disarm the bomb and arrest Killgrave once again.
