The Key was originally a scientist working for Intergang. He began experimenting in an attempt to increase his already remarkable intelligence. He was able to create psycho-chemicals that opened the doors to the untapped areas of his brain. Adopting the identity the Key he embarked on his attempt to rule the world only to be defeated by the Justice League. Deciding that in order to control the world he needed to destroy the Justice League the Key designed more powerful psycho-chemicals. After taking the chemicals he slipped into a coma for years and allowed them to expand his consciousness. Years later he awoke with vastly increased intelligence, ready to destroy the Justice League.
