History: (Flash Miniature #1) - Dmane was a criminal from 6946 AD who used his magnetic powers in a bid for world conquest and ended up being sentenced to death. Flash I used an ultra-energy beam to pull an object from the future, and ended up plucking Dmane from his time period. Dmane incapacitated Flash, then made a radio broadcast demanding to be named ruler of Earth. To prove his might he attempted to rob the National Mint, but Flash grabbed him and ran fast enough to time travel to 6946 at the exact moment when Dmane was scheduled to be executed.
