HISTORY
The Tornado Tyrant was a living whirlwind who wreaked havoc on the planet Rann before being defeated by Adam Strange. Later, it observed the heroic Justice League of America in action and decided to become a hero itself.
As the Tornado Champion, the being created a duplicate of Earth and transformed itself to that Earth's version of the JLA. However, the persona of the Tornado Tyrant resurfaced and crushed the "Justice League". By observing the real JLA in action again, the Champion was able to defeat his evil self.
Still later, the Champion took possession of a robotic creation of T.O. Morrow, thereby creating the new hero called the Red Tornado, who had no recollection of his former incarnations. Since then, the Tornado Tyrant persona has resurfaced on a couple of occasions before being integrated in the Red Tornado once again.
