Doctor Destruction

One of the more infamous villains from the 'Golden Age'. Calling him a 'Mad Scientist' is almost putting it mildly. Had numerous run-ins with Doc Valiant, as well as the legendary group "The Protectors".

==An Enigma Wrapped in a Riddle==
Despite his 'illustrious' reputation in history, very little is known about the man called 'Doctor Destruction' before his sudden appearance in the late 1940's. The name Mortimer Tibbs appears in some class roster lists from the years proceeding 1947, but where and when he was born was never quite discovered. The teachers and professors who could be tracked down tell of an exceptionally bright young man, but left a few of them feeling a bit disturbed by his scientific/medical interests. 
Whatever his background, his interests and ambitions became brutally apparent in the month of April of 1947.
==April, 1947: The "Ape Men" Incident==
Bizarre 'Beastmen' Sightings around the Texas/Mexico Border eventually drew the attention of the United States Government. What their agents and operatives would uncover necessitated reviving the 'Protectors Project'. The reassembled group of heroes followed the trail of chaos, and soon came up against these so-called 'Beast Men', finding out that they were in fact 'Ape Men'. Ape-Human Crossbreeds being utilized as the personal soldiers of their creator, one Doctor Mortimer Tibbs. After a hellacious battle that led to the destruction of a small Texas town, most of these 'Gorilla Men' were either killed or captured. Tibbs managed to disappear amidst the chaos created. 
But it was not going to be the last the world would see of this man or his mad creations.
==Afterwards==
His subsequent history reads almost like a very detailed and personal history of the early Cold War era in the United States. He'd soon come up against Doctor Alexander Valiant in the early-to-mid 1950's, a conflict that would give the twisted genius his 'iconic' facial scar he'd sport throughout the rest of his life. Then he'd meet the Protectors again soon after, and so on and so forth till about the late-60's when he is believed to have perished after one final climactic confrontation with some of his enemies.
==Powers & Abilities==
At 5 feet, 11 inches Doctor Destruction wasn't even a contender in the fighting weight classes. But he more than made up for it with his deviously brilliant mind, unhampered... uninhibited by 'petty and small morality'. His creations were many and varied, each almost topping the last in danger and utter insanity.
Genetically-made Mutants of all kinds, Dinosaurs, Giant Robots, Giant Monsters, Doomsday Weaponry, Death Rays, Zombies, and even Deadly Viruses were just par for the course when dealing with 'Doctor Destruction'. He even once combined just about all of those things into one massive monstrosity.
Most of his creations were either destroyed and/or confiscated by the US Government/Military/Doc Valiant to try and prevent their further use.
