Who is Corruptor?

Origin Jackson Day was a factory worker at a pharmaceutical manufacturing company that specialized in psychoactive chemicals. A fire broke out at the factory and Jackson was doused with a mixture of chemicals. He discovered that the chemicals had affected his mind and body. His skin turned deep blue-black and was granted the ability to subvert the wills of anyone he touched. The Asgardian hero Thor saved Jackson from the fire and made skin to skin contact. This caused Thor to lose his inhibitions against wanton violence. Jackson called himself the Corruptor and was defeated when the fledgling crime-fighter Nova helped Thor regain his senses, but not before a brief battle against the two heroes. Day was then undergoing medical treatment when he reverted back to his Corruptor persona.
