Prometheus III

Created by Grant Morrison and Arnie Jorgensen

+ History

Prometheus' parents were dangerous outlaws who took their son along on a number of robberies. He was present when they died during a standoff with the police. He vowed to tear down the forces of justice, and spent years traveling the world and training to be a killer. A group of Tibetan monks took him in and gave him the Cosmic Key and showed him how to access the Ghost Zone. He built weaponry and a suit of armor, creating the identity of Prometheus. He returned to America and intended to blow up the Supreme Court before finding an even better symbol of justice to destroy, the JLA. He killed Retro, the winner of a create-a-hero contest that had won a trip to the JLA Watchtower. As "Retro" he gained access to the Watchtower. (Prometheus #1)

Prometheus shed his Retro disguise and downloaded the info from the JLA Watchtower�s computer into his brain. Prometheus disrupted the Watchtower�s oxygen supply and defeated Steel, Zauriel, Huntress and Batman, mainly because he had plans and weapons to deal with virtually every hero on Earth. Unbeknownst to Prometheus Catwoman was inside the Watchtower, and although she was armed with only a whip Prometheus was not prepared to fight a fellow villain and she was able to take him down. Prometheus disappeared back to the Ghost Zone, promising to destroy the JLA at a later date. (JLA #16, 17)

He joined Lex Luthor's Injustice Gang.

Zauriel believed that the Ghost Zone was in fact Limbo. As an angel, I think his opinion�s pretty credible.

+ Powers

Prometheus could enter the extradimensional Ghost Zone using his Cosmic Key. He wore protective body armor and used highly advanced weaponry including a super-dense war club and phosphorus darts. His helmet could download information straight into his brain or act as a hypnotizing strobe light
