However, this was short-lived after he was shrunk down to a microscopic size by one of his former teammates, Psimon.

His ingenious gadgetry and his ability to create powerful weapons from everyday items have allowed him to assist many villains in their goals to defeat the powerful heroes in DC Comics.
