He used to be.

When the Justice Society first
formed, there was a scientist...

didn't know his real identity.

He just went by "The Ultra-Humanite".

But he went by a lot of names.

When we first met him,
he was just another criminal

until he escaped us by putting his brain

into the body of an actress
named Dolores Winters.

I mean, that sounds like
a science fiction horror movie,

but it's exactly what happened.

Dolores Winters, the famous actress?

He put his brain in her body?

- H-how'd he do that?
- Magic?

Surgery with a little help
from Dragon King.

We don't even know if the scientist body

we first met him in
was his original one.

Anyway, he assumed
Dolores Winters' identity

and fooled everyone.

Dolores Winters went on to win an Oscar.

For "Remembering to Forget".
It's one of my mom's favorites.

The Ultra-Humanite had been

in Dolores' skull
for over a year by then.

So he won the award?

Exactly.

When the JSA found out
the truth about Winters,

The Ultra-Humanite sought out
a body strong enough

to destroy us. So he and Dragon King

stitched that mutated ape together

and put his brain in that.

He has to be the one
that sucker-punched me

back at The Gambler's trailer.

That's probably also who
k*lled The Gambler, right?
