Biography[]

Main article: Mr. Element

Albert Desmond suffered from a split personality, one a good person and the other evil. Originally calling himself Mr. Element and using element-themed devices before being captured by the Flash, he changed it to Dr. Alchemy when he found the philosopher's stone which could transmute elements after hearing of it from a cellmate, and was able to transmute elements, although the effects only lasted for about 20 minutes.

Soon it was found out that there were two Desmonds, Albert, the good one and Alvin, the bad, and that they shared a mental link. Alvin was destroyed, but Albert became Dr. Alchemy again.

During a period of honest reformation,Desmond was tracked down by Eobard Thawne--The Reverse-Flash;who was still looking for a way to give himself permanent super-speed instead of depending on scientific means.A substance called "Element Z" would give Thawne speed when worn as an amulet. Desmond tried to explain his split personality, and that his knowledge of science went away when he retired as Mr.Element. Thawne hypnotized Desmond into committing criminal acts, assuming his knowledge would return as soon as he "enjoyed" criminality again. This proved correct, although Desmond solved the problem only out of scientific curiosity and to get Reverse-Flash away from him. Desmond resumed his honest life and informed Barry Allen/Flash of what had occurred.(FLASH #147--year 1964).
