Winslow "Winn" Schott Jr. was the human son of Winslow Schott Sr. and Mary McGowan where he was born in the modern age.
During his childhood, Winn was very close to his father and the two would often go to the latter's workshop and build toys. Unbeknownst to Winn, his father was already showing signs of being a paranoid sociopath, but he was shielded from this by his mother. Mary attemped to run with Winn, to a domestic abuse shelter under the pretense they were gong to Disneyland, Winslow ran Mary's car off the road giving Winn a concussion, Winslow threatened Mary if she tried to take his son away from him he would kill Winn.
When Winn was 11 years old, Chester Dunholtz stole his father's toy designs. In retaliation, Winslow sent a teddy bear with a bomb in it to Dunholtz, which killed six people. Winn watched his dad be dragged off to prison and his crimes exposed, which earned him the nickname Toyman. Winn was taken to the police station, where Mary was called to pick him up, fearing Winslow could still hurt Winn even behind bars, she was forced to abandon Winn which hurt her dearly. Winn was then put into the foster system. To avoid the scrutiny of being labelled the son of Toyman, Winn did not reveal his relation to his father to anyone he knew.

In 2013, Winn first meets Kara Danvers when she comes in to interview for the position of Cat Grant's assistant and wished her good luck.

Winn believed in the existence of aliens other than Superman, citing an armored car robber who reportedly had horns, and maintained a website documenting alien sightings.
