Red Volcano was created by
Professor Ivo and
T. O. Morrow. Ivo uses him as an aide during his tenure as part of the
Secret Society of Super Villains. He helps Ivo in collecting soil samples from various regions of Earth where acts of genocide took place over the past 100 years as part of a plot to create a
golem called
Genocide. Following the
Final Crisis event, Red Volcano joins
Cheetah's
Secret Society of Super Villains. In the
Red Tornado miniseries, it is revealed that Red Volcano is one of four androids created by Ivo and Morrow alongside Red Tornado,
Red Torpedo, and Red Inferno. He, Red Tornado, Red Inferno, and Red Torpedo respectively represent the
classical elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Volcano lacks the humanity or conscience that his "siblings" have, going so far as to torture his creator into revealing the whereabouts of the other two robots. When Morrow tells him where Red Inferno is, the Volcano heads for the child robot's home neighborhood and mercilessly murders Inferno's adopted parents and destroys the entire neighborhood. ==Powers and abilities==
