  • The Origin of Dr. Phosphorus · Doctor Phosphorus · 6 pages

    Dr. Phosphorus visits an old colleague and explains how he became a monster when the reactor core at a nuclear power plant in which they both invested exploded and that he now plans to take his revenge on all those he blames, particularly City Council Chairman Rupert Thorne.
