    Deathbolt
    Deathbolt

    Fleeing from the police in a stolen bi-plane, 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 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 All Star Squadron.
