Who is Bolt?

Bolt is a DC Universe villain with the ability to teleport, often clashing with heroes such as The Flash and Green Lantern. A mercenary-for-hire, he uses his powers to evade capture and carry out criminal contracts.

Few characters announce themselves quite like a debut in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe β€” Bolt arrived in 1985 as part of DC's grand Bronze Age roll call, introduced by the legendary Len Wein and immediately enshrined as a figure worth knowing in the publisher's sprawling mythology. Over the course of a 31-year publishing history, this DC villain has kept remarkable company, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like The Flash, Green Lantern, Firestorm, and Darkstar across titles including The Darkstars, Identity Crisis, and Hawkman. With a key-issue appearance to their name and a presence that stretches well into the modern era, Bolt is exactly the kind of deep-cut DC figure that rewards the curious collector willing to dig past the marquee names.
