HISTORY

Henry Hewitt was a rich man with a problem - he had no immunity to disease. Thankfully, he was wealthy, and had the money of the Hewitt Corporation behind him, to keep him isolated from the world outside. He used this money in tandem with the 2000 Committee in an attempt to take over the world. To this end, he planned on using Multiplex to help him repeat the accident that created Firestorm.

He first tried this out on Lorraine Reilly, who he had been brainwashing and using to manipulate her father - Senator Walter Reilly, and turned her into Firehawk. Then, he used the transformation on himself, and became Tokamak, the living reactor.

Though confined in a sealed suit, he had the power over nuclear reactions, and could cause molecules to contract at his command, which he usually used to ensnare his victims and caused them to implode on themselves. His doom was sealed in a conflict with Firestorm, wherein the hero opened his suit, causing him to leak away. But, he was one of the many villains recruited by Brainiac and Lex Luthor during the villain war of the Crisis, though his restoration may have only been a temporary thing, due to the time and physic dilations of the Crisis and his lack of re-appearances.
