Doctor Polaris

Doctor Polaris (also known as Neal Emerson) is a supervillain in the DC Comics universe. He was raised by an abusive father but later revealed to be his aunt which drove him to become evil. He had a childhood interest in magnets which also drove him to create his suit which has magnetic powers. He was later killed but was resurrected as a Black Lantern.

History[]

Neal Emerson's research into magnetic polarity resulted in several medical breakthroughs. However, his work also caused him to develop a personality disorder. Over time, his darker side became the villainous, power-hungry Doctor Polaris. Polaris clashed with Hal Jordan, Earth’s Green Lantern, several times, with Hal often coaxing out Neal's benevolent personality, and so ending Polaris' magnetic rampages. Emerson originally used technology to control magnetism, but his body eventually internalized the power. After the Anti-Monitor attacked Earth, Polaris and other villains tried to destroy all Earth-based Green Lanterns. During Infinite Crisis, Polaris joined the Secret Society of Super Villains, but later perished in an explosion.

John Nichol later assumed the identity of Doctor Polaris, but was later killed by the Black Lantern version of the original.
