Fictional Character Biography
Doctor Psycho discovered he could use ectoplasm, the substance found in the spirit world, and materialize it on Earth in whatever form he willed. He eventually discovered he could use Steve Trevor as a medium. After capturing Trevor, he used a machine to draw ectoplasm from Trevor's mind in the form of Trevor's idealized, super-powered fantasy image of himself. Doctor Psycho inhabited the ectoplasmic form and battled Wonder Woman using the name Captain Wonder. As Captain Wonder, Psycho fell in love with the Silver Swan (Helen Alexandros), an ugly young woman, whom the vindictive god Mars had transformed into a super-powered beauty. Both Captain Wonder and Silver Swan were defeated by Wonder Woman and eventually reverted back to their original forms. Captain Wonder returns for one more battle against Wonder Woman, and teams with Silver Swan, Cheetah and Angle Man against Etta Candy (whom they wrongly believe is Wonder Woman).
Captain Wonder has not appeared since the events in Crisis on Infinite Earths, nor has his existence been revealed in Post-Infinite Crisis continuity.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“When I think of some of the Persians, the Hindus, the Arabs I knew, when I think of the character they revealed, their grace, their tenderness, their intelligence, their holiness, I spit on the white conquerors of the world, the degenerate British, the pigheaded Germans, the smug self-satisfied French.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“There never was a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn’t be. He is too many people, if he’s any good.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
