HISTORY

Brilliant scientist Dr. Alex James Sartotius was the victim of a nuclear accident which transumted his skin into a phosphoric compound, combustible in contact with the air. This event naturally unhinged his mind and he wreaked havoc in Gotham City until stopped by Batman. Years later, he sold his soul to the demon Neron who gave him the ability to control the combustibility of his body and to wear normal clothes. Now also far more in control of his faculties, he clashed with Starman Ted Knight on a number of occasions, finally giving him fatal radiation poisoning, possibly being killed himself for his trouble.
