John Corben was a solider in service to the US military under General Sam Lane, who had repeatedly tried to hook him up with his daughter. According to Lane's daughter Lois, Corben is a merciless killer. However, Sam Lane treats him like "the son he never had". After Corben comes to Metropolis to visit Lois alongside Lane and is rebuked by her, Corben volunteers for a prototype of a large power lifter type exoskeleton developed by Lex Luthor for the US Military. The exoskeleton is coated in a special alloy developed by Emmet Vale, called Metallo. The suit is powered by a chunk of Kryptonite.
