BludhavenBackground
- Professor Ramsey Norton hoped to solve the world's ills through his research. He dumped all the chemical compounds from his failed experiments into a giant humanoid-shaped vat he affectionately called "Chemo". The more chemicals Norton poured into Chemo, the harder he resolved to work to succeed in his goals.
- However, the volatile compounds deposited in Chemo over the years began to mutate. When Norton dumped a failed plant growth serum into the mix, there was a violent biochemical reaction.
- Chemo suddenly gained rudimentary sentience and increased in size. Chemo's acid breath killed Norton and the monster went on a rampage until the Metal Men intervened. Chemo has since become a constant foe of the Metal Men and Superman and has been destroyed and rebuilt on several occasions.
