Biography
Pre-Crisis
Volthoom was the creator of Power Ring's ring and lantern. A native of Earth-3, he was a mad monk.
On their own Earth, the Crime Syndicate of America grew bored of their absolute evil rule over their world and thus sought new planets to conquer. They learnt of Earth-1 and intended to challenge the Justice League of America in order to defeat them. During the battle, the Justice League managed to gain the upper hand until the Crime Syndicate initiated their failsafe. This involved calling the magic word 'Volthoom' that transported all the participants in the battle to Earth-3. Once there, the Earth-1 heroes were defeated, immobilized and taken as prisoners. With their victory, the Crime Syndicate then turned their sights to Earth-2 in order to defeat the Justice Society of America. However, the Justice League of Earth-1 managed to send a warning to the heroes of Earth-2 namely the secret weapon of the Syndicate that was the magic word 'Volthoom'. (Justice League of America v1 #29)
