Origins:

In the middle of their high-wire act, the Flying Corleys were startled by a power failure. Three fell to their deaths, and the fourth was critically injured. They might have been saved had the Flash been there, and he was scheduled to make a charity performance, but he had been called away on an emergency JLA case. The blackout itself would have been prevented if construction of Central City’s new power plant hadn’t been delayed.

Lyle Corley, the sole survivor, recovered physically, at least but mad with grief, he began to plot his revenge.
