Deathbolt

Comic-book origin: Jake Simmons, wanted for murder, fled police in a stolen biplane during a storm and crashed when lightning struck the plane over Meteor Crater, Arizona. The Ultra-Humanite found him and experimented on him until his body became a living electrical battery, code-named 'Deathbolt', and used as an ally/henchman against the All-Star Squadron. Television continuity: presented as a meta-human in Arrowverse episodes (introduced in Arrow's "Broken Arrow"), with TV sources describing him as able to manipulate plasma and treated as a detained powered criminal held at S.T.A.R. Labs; in The Flash he is killed during a custody transfer.

Comic descriptions in the supplied sources emphasize a Golden Age visual style but provide little specific visual detail in the excerpts. Television portrayal is by actor Doug Jones; TV sources describe him as a meta-human who manifests energy/plasma powers (including reports of projecting plasma through his eyes) but provide limited descriptive detail in the provided material.

Comics: can channel electrical energy within his body into powerful blasts of electricity, effectively serving as a living electrical battery and energy projector. Television (Arrowverse): presented as a meta-human who manipulates plasma (media notes state he manipulates plasma instead of electricity) and has been described in forum/Q&A sources as projecting plasma through his eyes; in-story behavior includes criminal acts, containment by heroes and institutions, and being dangerous enough to require custody at S.T.A.R. Labs.
