Danny Dunbar was the star pupil of Thomas N. Thomas, a high school chemistry and physical education teacher.

One evening while Thomas and Dunbar are working on an experiment, Thomas' hand accidentally touches Dunbar's and both teacher and student find themselves feeling more energized. Thomas realizes that each of them has somehow absorbed the chemicals with which they have been working. By touching each other, Thomas and Dunbar now become charged with an unknown form of energy and briefly possess superhuman powers.

Thomas becomes known asTNTand Dunbar as Dan the Dyna-Mite, and both join the wartimeAll-Star Squadron.Thomas and Dunbar each wears a "dyna-ring". By pressing the rings together, Thomas and Dunbar trigger a chemical reaction that temporarily charges the two heroes with energy.

Danny is grief-stricken but bucks up whenPresident Rooseveltrequests that he and other young members of the All-Star Squadron take a cross-country tour to encourage the buying ofwar bonds.His depression is worsened by the assumption that without TNT, he can no longer use his own super-powers. Soon, Danny learns he can activate them by wearing both dyna-rings and pressing them together.

He is recruited by Tex Thompson, the Americomando, for a secret project to gain atomic powers and become "Dynaman"; a government sponsored super-hero. However, Dan is murdered on the day he is to gain his new atomic powers, so that Thompson (secretly the Ultra-Humanite in the former hero's body) can put the brain of Adolf Hitler into Dan's body and infuse him with atomic energies to give Hitler super-powers.

Dominus

For theMarvel Comicsvillain, seeDominus (Marvel Comics).

Dominusis a fictional character and aDC Comicssupervillainwho first appeared inAction Comics#747. He appears primarily as an opponent ofSuperman.

Originally, Dominus was an alien priest namedTuoni,who served as one of the five custodians of his world's faith. During this time, he fell in love with his peer, Ahti. However, he was driven mad by jealousy when Ahti ascended past him and assumed the mantle of Kismet, Illuminator of All Realities.

Studying infernal forbidden magic in an attempt to gain the power to challenge his former lover and rob her of the power of Kismet, Tuoni's assault was reflected by Kismet's divine energies and his body was incinerated. Despite Tuoni's deceit, theomnibenevolentKismet showed him mercy and shunted his shattered, still-living body into thePhantom Zone.

Within the Phantom Zone, Tuoni encountered a holographic projection of Superman's long-deadKryptonianancestor, Kem-L, who was able to use his own ancient variety ofarcaneKryptonian science to rebuild the former holy man as apsioniccosmic phantasm known as "Dominus".

In this new all-powerful form, Dominus escaped the Zone via Superman'sFortress of Solitudeand attacked Earth. Attempting to find Kismet to steal her cosmic powers, he was opposed by Superman. Swearing vengeance, Dominustelepathicallyentered Superman's mind and preyed on one of the Man of Steel's greatest weaknesses; his fear of failing the people of Earth.

Using mind control, Dominus convinced Superman to take control of Earth and build theSuperman robotsto police the planet 24 hours a day, seven days a week forever. In another battle, Dominus used his reality-warping powers to become Superman, using the Superman robots to search for Kismet while Superman was disguised as one of his own robots and later as Dominus.

During his captivity in these other forms Superman improved on his use ofTorquasm Vo,an ancient Kryptonian warrior discipline technique where the warrior can control what they think. Superman and Dominus then engaged in a mental-physical battle with Dominus using any stray thought of Superman to reshape reality. The battle ends with Superman banishing Dominus to the Phantom Zone.

Dragon King

Dragon Kingis a fictional character fromDC Comics.He was created byRoy ThomasandRich Buckler,and first appeared inAll-Star Squadron#4, in December 1981.

The man known as "Dragon King" was a high-ranking official and scientist in the Japanese government during World War II, who created the nerve gas K887. He obtained the mythical Holy Grail for Japan, and was able to combine it with Adolf Hitler's Spear of Destiny which the German dictator had loaned to Japanese General Hideki Tōjō.With the two items, the Dragon King and Hitler were able to create a field of arcane magic that shieldedimperial Japanand Fortress Europa from attack by the allies' super heroes or "Mystery Men".The field ensured that any hero with magic-based powers, or a vulnerability to magic (likeSuperman), would instantly be converted to the Axis cause, keeping some of the allies' most powerful heroes out of the theatre of war.Some heroes were temporarily able to circumvent this for humanitarian missions, despite the Dragon King's best efforts.After Japan's surrender on August 15, 1945, the Dragon King went into hiding and experimented with combining his own genetic material with that of a lizard. He eventually succeeded in making himself a hybrid of human and reptile.

In more recent history (in modern age), the Dragon King resurfaced in the fictional town of Blue Valley, Nebraska, with a daughter named Cindy Burman, now the villainessShiv.While making use of a robot that operated as Principal Sherman at Blue Valley High School, Dragon King is served byPaintball,Skeeter, and Stunt. He clashed against the secondStar-Spangled Kid,Courtney Whitmore,her sidekickS.T.R.I.P.E.,and theShining Knight,while the latter was on a quest to reclaim the Holy Grail. It is strongly implied during this confrontation that the Dragon King had in the past murdered the All-Star Squadron memberFirebrand.During this fight, the Dragon King himself was defeated and apparently killed by the Shining Knight, although his body was never found.

He later resurfaced with the Spear of Destiny in his possession and attempted to raise an army of super-powered soldiers, but was defeated by theJustice Society of America.

Carl Draper

Carl Draperis a fictional character inDC Comics,an enemy ofSuperman.Draper made his first appearance inSuperman#331 (January 1979), written byMartin Paskoand drawn byCurt SwanandFrank Chiaramonte.

In pre-Crisiscomics,Carl "Moosie" Drapergrew up inSmallville(seeKatorbelow). Draper was an overweight clumsy teenager whom most of the other kids never noticed or made fun of and was in love withLana Lang,who had eyes only forSuperboy,much to Draper's resentment.As an adult, Draper underwent a self-imposed self-improvement regimen, including exercise and cosmetic surgery, to overcome his physical shortcomings. He became an expert locksmith and architect, designing an inescapable prison for supervillains called "Mount Olympus". Impressed by the achievement, Superman augmented the prison's security by placing it on an antigravity platform. Initially dubbed "Draper's Island" by Superman, it was informally renamed "Superman Island" by the adult Lana—with whom Draper remained smitten, just as she remained lovestruck by Superman. It was the latter name, plus the novelty of the floating platform, that caught public attention, diverting recognition from Draper himself. This proved the final straw for Draper, who snapped and became the costumed supervillain theMaster Jailer.He attacked Superman and kidnapped Lana under that name. Superman defeated him and he was sent to his own prison.

InThe New Adventures of Superboy#17 (May 1981), at the prodding of Carl, Superboy creates a robot namedKatoras a sparring adversary (and gives the "safety cutoff switch" toJonathan Kent). Kator, however, developed an artificial intelligence and almost killed the Boy of Steel before being destroyed (inThe New Adventures of Superboy#18). The robot apparently gave Draper its identity and powers before being destroyed. Draper (as the new Kator) then engages Superboy in combat, but Jonathan Kent presses the safety switch on the "cutoff" device, which removes "Kator's" superpowers from Draper, and Superboy removes the memory of Draper ever being Kator.

In post-Crisiscomics, Carl Draper first appeared inThe Adventures of Superman#517 (November 1994). This was during the "Dead Again" storyline, when Superman was suspected of being an impostor after his body was found still in his tomb (fromThe Death of Supermanstoryline). Draper was hired byS.T.A.R. Labsto design a holding cell forConduit,when his daughter, Carla, asked him if he could build a prison that could hold even Superman. Draper initially designed a trap that only the real Superman could escape from, explaining this to Superman by way of a hologram of a costumed figure namedDeathtrap.When Superman escaped the trap, Draper became obsessed with proving that hecouldcapture the real thing. This version of Draper was dressed in casual wear, only getting an updated costume with chain-based attacks later.

Draper made several other attempts to capture Superman, often programming the Deathtrap hologram in advance so he could publicly be elsewhere. On one occasion, inSuperman: The Man of Steel#43 (April 1995), he programmed Deathtrap to appear during a Draper Security press conference and display how Draper's devices were being "subverted", thus both removing suspicion from him and acting as an advertisement for the company.

InAction Comics#739, Superman (in his blue energy form) was captured in an "energy hobble" by Deathtrap, now calling himself theLocksmith.At the end of the story, it was revealed to the reader that his daughter,Carla Draper,was running the hologram this time and that her father was unaware of this. The now-costumed Master Jailer was one of the villains along withNeutroncontrolled byManchester Blackin the 2002 storyline "Ending Battle"; however, it was not clear that it was, in fact, Draper.

Carl Draper appears inCheckmate#17 (October 2007). At some point, Checkmate discovered his multiple identities and used this to force him into becoming a security consultant, protecting Checkmate itself from attack. In the issue, he prevents numerous assaults on Checkmate headquarters and is promoted to head of security with the titleCastellan.Although he has not told his superiors, he strongly suspects that Carla is involved in the attacks. The issue also contains anEaster egg—computer displays show an actual website (now defunct)that could be accessed with the username "CARL DRAPER" and the password "wilhelmina". The site was a journal and database written from Draper's perspective. In his journal, he claimed to have been only Deathtrap and that he was unconnected with the Post-CrisisMaster Jailer.

ADC Rebirthversion of the Master Jailer appears in theAquaman/Suicide Squadcrossover "Sinking Atlantis" as a member of the Squad. Aspects of his pre- and Post-Crisishistory are present, with Carl growing up in Smallville and having a daughter.

Dubbilex

Dubbilexis a DNAlien, an artificial, genetically modified human with psychic powers. Created byJack Kirby,he first appeared inSuperman's Pal Jimmy Olsen#136 (March 1971).In post-Crisiscontinuity, he becomes an ally to Superman and was among those who attended his funeral afterDoomsdaykilled him.

Dubbilex grew close toSuperboy,having aided in his creation by providing mental impressions he had gained from past encounters with Superman to provide Superboy with his 'template's' memories in the absence of Superman's actual mind. Once Kon-El left the Labs forHawaii,Dubbilex accompanied him to report his status to Cadmus.Although their relationship started off somewhat rocky, they became great friends. Superboy taught Dubbilex about many things of the modern world, while Dubbilex represented Superboy during a 'parent's' night' for the members ofYoung Justice.

Dubbilex gains many friends of his own while in Hawaii.AgentRex Leech,Rex's daughterRoxy,TV reporterTana Moon,andBibbo Bibbowski's dogKrypto.Superboy and most of this group end up operating out of a small, isolated house. Dubbilex also helps uncover the nature ofKnockout,While Superboy's super-powered girlfriend has fought villains many times, it is revealed, via Dubbilex's powers, that she casually kills an innocent police officer simply because he was in her way.

Once Superboy returned to Cadmus, Dubbilex followed and became the Head of Genetics.Although partly blaming himself forTana Moon’s death, Dubbilex eventually found a retreat and learned from a monk that Superboy needed to move on with life without his guidance.After Superboy left the Project, Dubbilex has stayed in the background.

Dubbilex and Project Cadmus resurfaced inCountdown to Final CrisisWeek 32 (September 2007), in an attempt to helpJimmy Olsenwith his new superpowers.

Dubbilex seemingly died due to wounds sustained in battle withCodename: Assassin,when the assassin attempted to eliminate anyone affiliated with the truth about Cadmus's cloning experiments. Despite being shot in the head, his unique physiology allowed him to survive long enough for Jimmy Olsen to find him and learn the truth about recent events. In his apparent last words, he asked Jimmy to consider him a man rather than a creation. Olsen comes to believe Dubbilex were murdered as part of a plot to destroy Superman and all other Kryptonians, such as the recently enlarged citizens ofKandor.He was later proven correct; as 'Assassin' is seen working for Lex Luthor and General Sam Lane, avowed enemies of Kryptonians.

Dubbilex (or a new clone of him) still lives and returned to battleSupergirl.
