## History

### Early History

Not much is known about John's past, other than what he believes to have happened. He was a psychologist and that he had a wife and that said wife cheated John with his boss. John was quite depressed at this point and to coincide, he would become Doctor Destiny soon after. It started when he was walking home after he gave his ex-wife her belongings. He walked past what seemed to be a homeless man. When the man asked for change, John retorted with the phrase "In your dreams". He was then thrown into what to him seemed like a hallucination, where he gave something called a "Dreamweaver" money. John later awoke in a dumpster. Over the next couple of weeks, John couldn't sleep completely. When a month past, he was visited by the Dreamweaver that he'd seen before. It told John that he now had powers and the extent of them. To close, he gave John a red gem that would free him from his immortality when broken. Eventually, John used his powers to kill his ex-wife. He was now known as, Doctor Destiny.

### Post Earthquake

Went insane with the lack of sleep and started to murder people by ruining their dreams till that point that they died. He also tried to destroy the gem, but it never broke. It didn't even break when he asked people to do it.

### During No Man's Land

After the earthquake, John escaped Arkham Asylum and stole many files and chemicals. He had a clash with the Suicide Squad, where he won. He eventually joined their secondary team, Task Force XI. It was then after these, where he made his change from being a villain to being a hero. It was his third time haunting Magpie and it was she who started this change by making John think. He was thrown into a depressive state, and after speaking to Poison Ivy and Polka-Dot Man he fully transitioned to hero. He helped people, most notably Rebecca Langstrom. But, there was one other big thing that happened. He got a sidekick, Solomon Grundy, who had recently left a Lazarus pit under Arkham Asylum.
