Who is Dr. Destroyer?

Origin The son of a Bavarian dollmaker, Albert Zerstoiten, born in 1917 was a genius. He enrolled in college by the age of twelve and sported a pair of Ph.D’s by the age of twenty. He later went to work as a scientist for the Third Reich but when the Allies began to win World War II, he sold out his employers to the French Resistance and then attempted to flee to South America, only to be captured by British soldiers and extradited to America to work for the US military as his genius was unparalleled. Dr. Zerstoiten had long since considered himself a god among humans by virtue of his massive intellect and that it was his destiny to rule the world. His work for the Third Reich and, later, America only reinforced that belief. He attempted a second time to escape to South America and succeeded, formally assuming the mantle of Dr. Destroyer.
