Winslow & Mary Schott used to be the happiest toy makers in Britain, and were even the heads of their own company: Schott Toys. Winslow himself was a mechanical genius, as many of the toys he designed were extremely advanced twists on older concepts, such as the Smart Teddy. Winslow also had a strong love of children, and was essentially a big child himself. Unfortunately, all happy days come to an end. After Mary was killed in a car crash, Winslow signed on with a big corporation in order to bring happiness to children all over the world. Unfortunately, that company turned out to be a subsidiary of Lexcorp, who secretly sold Schott's advanced toy designs to weapons manufacturers. Heartbroken & enraged when he found out, an already mentally unwell Winslow snapped. In revenge, he mailed a booby trapped teddy bear to the executive who cheated him. When he turned it on, the bear exploded, killing him instantly. Winslow then moved to Metropolis in order to get revenge on the head of the corporation: Lex Luthor. Unfortunately, Superman had to intervene. After first being captured, Winslow befriends another Superman villain, Oswald Loomis: The Prankster. Forming a partnership, the two break out of prison in order to kill Lex Luthor while distracting the Man Of Steel.
