Clock King
Born William Tockman, Clock King took dutiful care of his invalid sister, when one day he found out from a doctor's visit that he himself only had six months to live.
Despairing for his sister's future, he watched the timing of a local bank's vault in order to rob it, hoping the money would provide for his sister after he was gone.
His caper would have gone successfully, had he not tripped a silent alarm and was then caught by the Green Arrow.
While he was incarcerated, his sister died without him.
In further hideous irony, Tockman discovered that he really wasn't ill and was not going to die in the next six months: his doctor had accidentally switched his papers with those of another patient.
Infuriated, he escaped, later futilely attempting revenge on the Green Arrow.
The Clock King later went on to join Major Disaster's Injustice League, which became Justice League Antarctica.
This JLA would include G'Nort, who ends up saving the lives of the entire team.
Like his compatriots, Clock King became an ardent supporter of Maxwell Lord, partly due to the fact he was the only one willing to hire them.
His group even guards Lord when he was incapacitated due to a bullet wound.
Originally, they are not trusted by the authorities but the Martian Manhunter, spying, decides they are perfect bodyguards.
Later, Clock King would lead his own, separate team of villains in a mission.
They consist of Radiant, Sharpe, Acidia and Crackle.
They are not as well-organized as even the Injustice League.
For example, Crackle still lives with his mother and they have to take the bus to their fight.
It takes place at a Metropolist toy store.
They end up fighting one of the many incarnations of the Teen Titans, the heroes Booster Gold & Firehawk and DEO agent Cameron Chase.
An unclear super-effect from Chase ultimately neutralizes Clock's team and they are all imprisoned.
Clock himself escapes on another bus.
