HistoryEdit

General Zahl was an officer of the German Navy during World War II and the commander of a German U-Boat. The Anti-U-Boat bombs developed by Dr. Niles Caulder smashed his ship and left him to live with a collar to support his head and, presumably, one arm. A War Crimes Commission declared him dead.^[1]

Years after the war, Zahl served as a mercenary, until a conflict with the Doom Patrol forced him into retirement. Later, he became an associate of the Brotherhood of Evil. He was the architect of an amibitous plot, which resulted in the seeming destruction of the original Doom Patrol in the Caribbean instead of the population of Codsville, Maine.

Years later, Changeling, Robotman, and the Teen Titans tracked down Zahl and Brotherhood member Madame Rouge. In the conflict, bullets ricocheted from Robotman's chest, killing Zahl.

NotesEdit

• Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985-86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
• During World War II, Zahl held the military rank of Captain. He began calling himself General Zahl of his own accord, but was never actually recognized as a General by any legitimate military organization.
