Doctor Impossible is a fictional supervillain created by DC Comics. He first appeared in Justice League of America, vol. 2 #1.Brad Meltzer and Ed Benes created this character, who was inspired by the concepts of Jack Kirby.

Prior to his actual appearance, rumor spread amongst the criminal underground that he was a thug who previously worked for the Penguin. It is said that his name is Jonas Lock and that at some point he acquired his technology from Apokolips. Dr. Impossible himself claims to be the brother of Mr. Miracle and to have come from Apokolips., whose costume resembles a dark variation of Mr. Miracle, and with equipment and skills to match.

After he arrived on Earth, Impossible gained control of Professor Ivo, Electrocutioner, Plastique, and Karate Kid (in the guise of Trident), and Solomon Grundy through a mechanically enhanced Starro parasite. The brainwashed villains were used to gather raw materials for the construction of a robotic body to hold the mind of Grundy. Doctor Impossible stole the body of Red Tornado, decapitated 2 of the Metal Men (Gold and Platinum) and the arm of the Parasite, but was defeated by members of the Justice League.

Impossible returned, accompanied by evil duplicates of several deceased New Gods, to seize an alien machine that was buried on Earth for centuries. His new associates are Neon Black, Hunter, Chair, and Tender Mercy, duplicates of Lightray, Orion, Metron, and Big Barda, respectively. He and his team were powerful enough to defeat Josiah Power and his team, the Power Company, in combat. They are later seen breaking into the Justice League Watchtower to steal alien artifacts. After successfully stealing the artifact, the villains are ambushed by the newly arrived Green Arrow, who is on the run after killing Prometheus. Impossible and his partners are eventually forced to flee after a damaged Red Tornado uses his headless body to attack them. Impossible combines the stolen artifacts and creates an advanced machine. He places the kidnapped Justice League Europe member Blue Jay inside of it. This opens up a gateway to the Multiverse, which Impossible claims to do at the behest of an unnamed client.
