In DC Comics' publications, Deathbolt was a supervillain created by the Ultra-Humanite to fight the All-Star Squadron.

Wanted for murder, Jake Simmons fled police in a stolen biplane during a heavy storm. He crashed when lightning struck the plane over Meteor Crater, Arizona. The Ultra-Humanite found him and experimented on him until his body became a living electrical battery. Code-named "Deathbolt", he became the Ultra-Humanite's staunch ally until his defeat by the All-Star Squadron.

Deathbolt (or a successor) returned in recent years and tried to kill the late Starman, Ted Knight.

Deathbolt can channel the electrical energy in his body into powerful blasts of electricity.
