HISTORY

A young Japanese boy with a genius-level intellect, Hiro Okamura's family created the alloy known as "Metallo" which was used as the body given to criminal John Corben when he operated as the villain called (what else?) Metallo. He encountered Superman in Metropolis when attempting to capture Corben to claim this alloy back, and was later called upon by Batman and Superman for help to create something to destroy an asteroid. His creations have undeniable flair, being big, bold and extremely effective. Most recently, he has agreed to work for Batman to create the various gadgets and vehicles he needs for his crime-fighting. Whether this, or his friendship with Robin and Superboy, will keep him on the straight and narrow remains to be seen.
