Lawrence Bolatinsky (New Earth)

Former special effects artist Larry Bolatinsky became an assassin and criminal for-hire after designing a suit giving him the ability to teleport and fire energy blasts, calling himself Bolt. He has been a member of the Suicide Squad, Killer Elite, The Society and the Injustice League. He would later be killed by his son, Terry Bolatinsky, who took up his supervillain legacy underneath the name "Dreadbolt" as a member of the Terror Titans. Clock King required that Terry kill his father as a rite of passage, and Terry teleported Bolt halfway through a wall.^[1]

Powers and Abilities

Weaknesses

Both of Bolt's kidneys and one of his lungs were punctured during the Luthor suit fiasco in Opal City.^[2] Whether these injuries still give him trouble is unknown, but it's likely that any further trauma to his kidneys would cause severe health problems.

Paraphernalia

Equipment

Suit allows flight, projection of electrical energy bolts, and teleportation

Notes

Lawrence Bolatinsky's last name was revealed on his memorial vault placard at the JLA Hall of Justice in Blackest Night #3.

Trivia

Bolt has been known to keep his money in multiple bank accounts around the world. One of these, in Antigua, was "clipped" by the D.E.O. in 2004. Another, in Latvia, was drained of its funds in order to buy information from the Calculator.^[3]
