Mister Bones - Fictional Character Biography - Department of Extranormal Operations

Department of Extranormal Operations

At some point after Infinity, Inc. disbanded, Mr. Bones became Director of a local branch of the U.S. Department of Extranormal Operations (D.E.O.), and as a D.E.O., Director Bones has had numerous interactions with the operations of the superhuman community. He has at times asked various DCU teams for their covert assistance. Notably, he has worked with the Justice Society of America a few times, to the point that Mister Terrific infiltrated the D.E.O. headquarters to tell Mr. Bones to stop harassing them. Bones was also wary of Atom Smasher, his old fellow Infinitor, after his murder of Extant. Mr. Bones became a supporting character in Manhunter.

Mr. Bones and the operations of the D.E.O. are featured in the "D.C. Files Secrets and Origins" year 2000 special.

In a Final Crisis tie-in, Mr. Bones is seen as one of the fallen during a strike against Wonder Woman's Female Furies in Blüdhaven. Included are with Count Vertigo and Negative Woman.

When Rothstein leaves with other Society members, Bones is seen on the telephone calling the Global Peace Agency.
