Then his eyes flash red and the fangs pop out. It's not known exactly how old Dr. Shadow is, but he was a supervillain battling Highwayman and Vigilance in the 1930's, and it's a safe bet that he was around long before that. Exactly what prompted this one-time villain to become a hero (or if he is really sincere) is not yet known.

His body was reinforced making him virtually indestructable and inhumanly strong and fast, but the process has so destabilized his genetic structure that he must bathe for weeks in the distilled genetic material of his human victims.
