T. O. Morrow
Post-Crisis
Following the Crisis of the Infinite Earths, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
Morrow was called by the Rogues who requested his aid in giving them an advantage against the Flash after he had badly wounded Captain Boomerang. The scientist revealed he had stolen a device called the Humanifold from the future and required a test subject to give them the power to defeat the speedster. Anthony Gambi volunteered and was bonded to the machine that replicated the technology of the Rogues giving him a composite power of all their weapons as he took the name Replicant. (Flash Secret Files and Origins v1 #2)
He was once again imprisoned for attempting to start a war between two parallel worlds with him detained at the Haven facility. Morrow was not allowed access to a computer due to fears he could trigger a Machine War I. Whilst there, he kept aware of news developments where he noted a pattern in the disappearance of various mad scientists from the world. (52 v1 #2)
Post-Flashpoint
Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events. He was a scientist who studied at Harvard University where he developed an interest in Emerging Technologies. At some point, he worked alongside Dr. Will Magnus on time travel research but stopped after a lab accident involving FTL technology which caused his colleague to resign. After his recovery, Morrow was recruited by Silas Stone to join S.T.A.R. Labs Red Room located in Detroit where he came to be the Project Manager by 31 years of age. (Justice League v2 #4)
