A few weeks ago, a friend sent a private message to Scourge and asked him to introduce the toy man in DC.
Toyman is a title used by several villains and heroes, first appearing in the 1943 manga Action Comics 64.
The first toy man was called Winster Short, he was a mechanical genius who invented many deadly toys as **. Winster is Superman's enemy.
After Winster's retirement, Jack Nimbol briefly inherited the title of Toy Man.
The teenage hero Hiroshi Okamura also used Toy Man as a title.
In the DC universe, there have also been similar characters such as ToyWoman, Toyboy, Toymaker, Toymaster, and Dollmaker.
Let's talk about DC's toy man.
Winster is a toy manufacturer in the Metropolis, and in order to seek excitement and wealth, he transforms toys into ** and carries out a series of criminal activities.
Winster "**" many toys, such as toy soldiers who can fire poison gas bombs, fire trucks that carry incendiary bombs that can ignite buildings, toy trucks with bombs that can blow up bridges, etc. Using these toys, he succeeded in committing a crime and evaded Superman's capture.
Louise discovers the entrance to Winster's secret base in the small waterway, and Winster kidnaps Louise. Winster wants to use the doll with the stinger to kill Louise.
Superman descends from the sky, defeats Winster, and frees Louise.
Since then, Superman has become a thorn in Winster's side, but Winster is not strong enough to really pose a threat to Superman.
At one point, Winster created an electronic "toy" brain (which is actually the current AI artificial intelligence) to help him complete the robbery efficiently.
When Winster asks the toy brain for a way to defeat Superman, the toy brain overload burns out and fails to give an answer.
In order to fulfill his ambition to defeat Superman, Winster teams up with pranksters and villains such as Lex Luthor, but he never gets his wish.
After the birth of Barry Allen, Hal Jordan and other heroes of the era, the world where the heroes of the era are located has become the DC main universe Earth One, and the world where the heroes of the era are located has become the parallel universe Earth 2.
There is also a "toy man" on Earth One, Winster Short.
Earth-One's Winster discovered a talent for making toys at a young age, and his first toy was a wooden biplane. However, the plane was snatched by his neighbor, Chester Dunholtz.
Winster began to reflect on why Chester could snatch the plane from him without any punishment? Why can't he use toys to snatch what others hold dear from them? laid the groundwork for him to embark on the road of crime in the future.
In adulthood, Winster became a toy maker in the Met. But childhood events drove him to use toys for criminal activities such as robberies.
He didn't do it for money and wealth, but to stimulate and get attention, and he became a toy man.
Eventually, Winster was defeated by Superman and sent to prison.
After a lengthy prison sentence, Winster became obscure, and he was even ridiculed by other criminals, so he made Superman toys to prevent an escape, got parole through good behavior, and left prison.
After leaving prison, Winster ran a toy store, but also resumed his criminal career.
He discovers that Superman often uses movements similar to the Superman toys he makes and sells, and he thinks he has gained the ability to control Superman. As a result, Superman defeats Winster and sends him to prison again. Because, Superman did this on purpose, in order to prevent Winster from committing another crime and easily defeat him.
After serving his sentence, Winster retired from his criminal career and went on to become a toy dealer.
In the 1974 comic "Action Comics" 432, the petty criminal Jack Nimball discovers Winster's toy warehouse, and he uses his identity as a toy man to start committing crimes, causing some trouble for Superman.
Winster saw the news on TV, and he was so angry that he found out his ** and helped Superman capture Jack together.
In the 1976 comic book Superman 305, Winster kills Jack with a toy mechanical bird.
In 1985, DC launched the big event "Crisis on Infinite Earths", which restarted the universe, erasing the setting of the multiverse, and after the restart, DC only had one universe called New Earth.
Growing up in England as a child, New Earth's Winster discovered a talent for making toys and made his first toy, a biplane.
However, the neighbor little boy snatched Winster's plane.
Undeterred, Winster eventually became a toy maker.
Winster is world-renowned for his excellent toy design.
One day, businessman Walter Dunhill approached Winster and offered to buy his design for development. Winster decisively rejected Walter.
Dunhill engineered a car accident that resulted in the death of Walter's wife. Winster eventually sold the design to Walter.
However, a twist came and Winster never married. The so-called wife is actually a "toy" made by Winster. That's right, Winster suffers from mental illness.
Winster made a ** teddy bear and killed Walter. Since then, Winster has become a criminal toy man.
Winster tries to assassinate Lex Luthor using the bomb doll because Walter's company is a subsidiary of the Lex Group of Companies.
When Superman tries to capture Winster, Winster has already been taken away by Morgan Edge, who has taken him into the international gang of criminal organizations.
Winster is involved in the construction of a children's amusement park, and when he learns that the amusement park is actually an outpost for the Apocalypse Star Shingod Sleez's invasion of Earth, he helps Superman defeat the Shinshin Gods.
Hiroshi Okamura first appeared in the 2002 manga Superman v2 177. He built a giant robot and got into battle with the metal men.
Hiroshi Okamura is a gifted teenager from Japan who helps Superman and Batman build a giant composite Batman-Superman robot that destroys a Kryptonite meteorite that crashes into Earth.
Later, Okamura pretends to be himself and is kidnapped by Winster, and Superboy and Robin find Okamura. Realizing Okamura's loneliness, they express their friendship to Okamura.
After Superboy dies in the big event Infinity Crisis, Okamura attends Superboy's funeral at Titan.

In 2011, DC released the big event "Flashpoint" to reboot the universe, and after the "reboot", there were no toy people at first, and Hiroshi Okamura appeared as a toy master.
Okamura and friends have made a massively multiplayer** online game that allows players to play with Superman and Batman in their lives.
