Flash

When several members of Flash’s rogues gallery conspired to destroy the scarlet speedster ( Barry Allen) they freed Ratchet from his cell and outfitted him with high- tech armor provided by the Monitor. Using an elaborate deception, the villains made Ratchet think that Flash had beaten them up and even kiled a small rodent. Incensed that a super hero could kill a defenseless creature, one of the few friends Ratchet thought he had, he went on a rampage, trying to kill the Flash. Finally subdued, Ratchet was taken by the Flash to Gorilla City where their super-science corrected his mental deficiencies. Ratchet became a near IQ genius and is now a respected member of society.
