DC Universe Online biography
Dryas of Mars is one of several other-dimensional heroes that were captured by Brainiac during the villain's numerous trips through time and the Multiverse. Brainiac had traveled the Multiverse in search of unique heroes and villains from many worlds including alternate Earths to use as an army. Bombshell was being used as a template for many of the new exobyte-enhanced humans until he was able to escape from a Brainiac ship with help from this Earth's Oracle and Superman. Upon escaping captivity, he discovered that he was on an alternate Earth and timeline from the one he had known. Wonder Woman offered Bombshell her aid and sponsored him as an honorary Justice League member seeking out his help in a series of adventures. Adjusting to his new life in this new time and this new Earth, Bombshell has joined a new team of heroes known as Young Unity which features several of the exobyte-enhanced and other trans-dimensional heroes that Brainiac had kidnapped.
Bombshell's current whereabouts are in Central City stopping the Reapers from destroying the timeline, but often aids his teammates and other heroes in Metropolis and Gotham City.

Origin/History: Angry that Hitler had perverted war into a reckless slaughter for selfish greed, the god of war Mars chose to send a representative to Earth to stop the Nazis, knowing that whoever was picked could never return to the red planet, but realizing that he could not simply destroy the German armies with his lightning, lest innocent men who had been forced to fight died along with the guilty. While trying to decide who to send, Mars' son Bombshell saved Mars and his ministers from being ambushed and slain by the
fearful monster Koro, and the proud father decides that his son is the worthy candidate. He arms him with a sword that can destroy the weapons of war, but cannot take a human life, and a few days later Bombshell hits the battlefields of Europe, soon becoming a feared legend amongst the Germans.
