History

The man who would become Lord Havok was originally one of five terrorists on Angor, an Earth-like world in a parallel universe.^[1] The terrorists had captured an experimental nuclear weapon and threatened to use it against the Justifiers, the primary superhero team on Angor. When the device exploded, the five terrorists were turned into the superpowered Extremists. Lord Havok and the Extremists then launched Angor's entire nuclear arsenal, starting a nuclear holocaust that eventually killed all life on Angor (with the exception of Dreamslayer, who was shunted into another dimension).

Lord Havok and the Extremists managed to find a way into the universe of the JLE, and attempted to take over Earth. ^[2] Lord Havok and his fellow villains were revealed to be robot duplicates of the original villain, created by theme park owner Mitch Wacky. The JLE brought Wacky to their Earth, where he quickly deactivated the robots.^[3]

Some time later, JLI establisher Max Lord died but Kilg%re, Flash's computer program villain, recreated him as a cyborg in the image of Lord Havok, leading to a continuation of Maxwell Lord's on/off villain status. Later, however, a wholly huuman Maxwell Lord took part in a plot to foil the Earth's heroes and was eventually killed by Wonder Woman.^[4]

4. ↑ WWC: DAY 2 - DC CRISIS COUNSELING PANEL Dan DiDio:This led the editors to give Lord a second look, and when the mention came again that Lord was revealed to be a cyborg…”We thought about that aspect of the story some more and then asked, ‘Did anyone read it?’ No. ‘Did anyone like the idea?’ No. So we moved ahead with Max as being a human, and having been a human, and not letting that small part of the past stand in the way of this story. We wanted what was best for Countdown, and for us, that meant that Max had to be a human.”
