Origin: The Black Terror is pharmacist Bob Benton, who gained his powers by ingesting a substance called "formic ethers", which he'd been experimenting with in his spare time. Breathing them gave him super strength, and toughened his skin to the point where bullets would bounce off harmlessly. He gave "formic ethers" to his assistant, Tim Roland. The Black Terror and Tim were collectively known as The Terror Twins.

Powers: Black Terror has enhanced strength, invulnerability, healing, advanced agility and stamina.
