HISTORY
Allegedly, Katmos was the supreme ruler of his civilization eight million years ago. A metallic humanoid species, Katmos' people were based on iron rather than carbon. When a comet wiped out his species, he alone survived within a capsule in suspended animation.
In the modern day, he used a device to compel archaeologist John Haines to dig him up and free him from the capsule. Katmos once again sought to rule the Earth. He started by assembling a weapon that would allow him to make all of Earth his mind slaves, but he was thwarted by the Flash.
Katmos has not been seen since.
POWERS AND WEAPONS
Katmos' metallic skin made him slippery enough to avoid capture by the Flash. Additionally, Katmos possessed incredible strength, enabling him to life three tons with little effort.
