Menton is the most powerful human psionic alive. He makes no secret about his contempt for the rest of humanity, and considers everyone, even Doctor Destroyer, to be his mental inferior. To him, people are just puppets to control and manipulate as he wishes.

Menton has made several efforts to take control of nations, and even the entire planet. So far he has always been defeated, but cautious superheroes worry about just how much behind-the-scenes control Menton may exert over world leaders.
