In: Superman Foes, LexCorp
Inside a dimly lit workshop filled with half-finished dolls and silent machines, a single figure sits at the center of it all. Winslow carefully adjusts the face of a lifeless automaton, his hands trembling with precision rather than fear.
Winslow Schott was once a man of wonder. A prodigy of engineering and imagination, he built worlds meant to bring joy first through the creation of Funland, a massive amusement park that stood as a monument to childhood dreams, and later as the co-creator of Krank Toys, one of the largest toy companies in the West.
But brilliance, in his case, was never rewarded only exploited. His partner stole his work, his park fell into ruin as crime consumed the surrounding regions, and long before that, his talents had already been weaponized by governments, forcing him to design instruments not of joy, but of suffering. Still, he endured. For years, he rebuilt himself, time and time again, driven by something simple: his family.
What happened to them remains unclear, tragedy, or something worse but their absence hollowed him out completely. Without them, the purpose behind his creations vanished. The man who once built dreams was forgotten, left to rot in isolation, his genius fading into obscurity.
Lex Luthor did not see a broken man he saw potential waiting to be redirected. Where others discarded Winslow, Lex offered him something far more dangerous than money or recognition: freedom.
Freedom to create.
Under Lex’s influence, Winslow’s work took a darker turn. His toys were no longer meant to entertain they were designed to deceive, manipulate, and kill. Advanced automatons, holographic projections, and reality-bending constructs became his new playground, blending innocence with horror in ways only he could imagine.
Every design, every mechanism, every experiment began to orbit a single impossible goal: to bring her back. Whether through perfect artificial replication or something even more unnatural, Winslow became convinced that with enough precision, enough technology, he could recreate not just her body… but her presence.
Lex, ever the opportunist, nurtured this obsession. With access to Kryptonian-inspired technologies and experimental systems, Winslow was pushed further than ever before toward breakthroughs that blurred the line between simulation and reality.
