The Dark-Heart Nanotechnology

## Biography

**Powers:** Cloning and Material Conversion + Enhanced Physical Attributes and Matter Assimilation

50,000 years ago, two worlds were at war. One created a war machine composed of nanotechnology. When sent to another planet, it begins to duplicate itself and overrun everything. In the process, the machine uses any material it can to duplicate, animate and inanimate. The machine accomplished its task but kept on duplicating. Across time, the Dark Heart spread. The Dark Heart has demonstrated the ability to create three types of drones; a small insect that mainly seeks out materials, a tiger-like drone that is more offensive and a larger scale insect. The materials collected are sent back to the central dark heart in liquid form through artery like constructs. The Atom was able to expose its only weakness, to 'clog' an artery and cause an overload. The U.S. military took the alien remains away to be disposed of but most of the Justice League Unlimited remained skeptical of its future.

The remains of the Dark Heart were confiscated by Cadmus. However, the technicians under the employ of Cadmus could never re-activate them. They were stored away in the main Cadmus facility in Washington DC. Being the most sophisticated nano-technology on Earth, the Dark Heart became the target of Lex Luthor and Brainiac in their bid to become gods and remake the universe. After assimilating a drone's nano-assemblers, Brainiac gained the ability to create anything from raw material and the duo moved forward with their plans.

The primary force of the Dark Heart are insect-like drones programmed to seek out all organic and non-organic matter. Their nano-assembler sub-routines then convert the matter into a liquid material fed back into the main Dark Heart. A small amount of larger drones are created to assist the smaller ones. Once the Atom overloaded the Heart, the drones were automatically deactivated. General Eiling gathered all the drones and remains, allegedly intended for destruction.

In reality, the drones were handed over to Project Cadmus. The technicians were unable to reactivate the drones and stored them in a vault located in a Cadmus facility near the White House in Washington DC. During their partnership, Lex Luthor convinced Brainiac to seek out these drones. After assimilating their abilities, Brainiac and Luthor converted every drone into a new form that would make the two villains one unique persona. This form was soon destroyed by the Flash using lightspeed vibrations.

**Position:** Destroyed

**Bio:** The Extraordinary-Machine Made out of nano-technology that was able to replicate itself. The central "heart" sent out millions of drones; each time one was destroyed, depending on the "piece" amount, it would form another two, three or four. **The heart landed on the planets surface and slowly destroyed the entire planet. Replicating itself each time it landed on a planet, the dark heart took over planet after planet for over fifty-thousand years, not knowing the war was over.** The Dark-Heart's Able to destroying the planets inhabitants. **The army took the remaining pieces of the Dark Heart away. The Dark Heart later found its way to Cadmus, who stored it after not being able to understand how it worked. Lex Luthor and Brainiac later stole it from Cadmus and nearly succeeded in destroying the world.**
