[edit] Fictional character biography

Doctor Moon has no superhuman abilities but is an expert in gene therapy, psychological conditioning and torture. He sells his services to finance his experiments and has taken work for the Joker and the Suicide Squad among others in the past. Pre-Crisis, he was retained by Doctor Cyber after her face was hideously burned, to transfer her brain to a new body, ideally that of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. When Amanda Waller hired him, he was used to work on Plastique. He is also apparently an employee of the Sunderland Corporation and an associate of the Captains of Industry; he oversees the metagene operation that changes Air Wave into Maser.

During the Identity Crisis mini-series he teamed up with fellow villainess Phobia, and the pair are seen aboard the former Injustice Gang satellite . According to Merlyn, every time Moon and Phobia came to the satellite, someone goes missing.

In issue #18 (March 2006) of Manhunter Dr. Moon is killed in a fight with Kate Spencer when, during a savage hand-to-hand confrontation, she stabs him with his own scalpel.
