Daniel "Danny" Tsang is Striker Z, a member of the Power Company originally hailing from Hong Kong.
History
Origin
Tsang was a stuntman for Fragrant Harbor Films in Hong Kong. During the filming of Unclean Policeman IV, director Dickson Kurata sneaked a crew into the basement laboratory of the Hong Kong branch of S.T.A.R. Labs. Tsang was distracted while performing a dangerous stunt over a vat of experimental fuel cell plasma. The mutagenic compound permeated his cells and altered his body chemistry, transforming him into a super strong human battery. His best friend was former S.T.A.R. Labs scientist Charlie Lau; Lau created his uniform and invented his Striker Plates and Flight Jacket.
Superboy
On his first adventure he helped Superboy defeat the Golden Sorcerer, actually a transformed Dickson Kurata who had also bathed in the fuel cell plasma. The Golden Sorcerer's energy supply was much greater than Striker Z's and so he was able to manifest solid energy constructs. Superboy was finally able to defeat the Golden Sorcerer by attaching Striker Z's Omega Cannon to his body and using it to siphon off all his energy.
Doctor Impossible
He later appeared unconscious and lying on the floor of a S.T.A.R. Labs facility after it was attacked by Doctor Impossible and his partners. The Guardian later mentions to his fellow Justice League members that Danny's pelvis was broken during the battle.
