Real Name: Unrevealed

Class: Human technology-user

Occupation: Supervillain

Group Affiliation: Cyclops

First Appearance: Metamorpho I #10 (January-February, 1967)

Powers: Stingaree wore an acid-proof battlesuit with goggles lined with infra-photon glass that filtered all wavelengths of light and a scorpion tail that could inject a victim with a chemical cocktail of the world's deadliest elemental poisons.

History: (Metamorpho I #10) - Stingaree was leader of the crime empire Cyclops, but when he jilted his fiancée Urania Blackwell for another she vowed revenge, traveling to Egypt and gaining elemental powers from the same meteorite that created Metamorpho, becoming Element Girl. Metamorpho and Element Girl penetrated Cyclops’ hq, and destroyed Stingaree’s Liquifier robot, but Stingaree turned the full force of Cyclops against them, and they were forced to flee and hide. Metamorpho’s fiancée Sapphire convinced her father Simon Stagg and Java to fly to Europe to find Metamorpho, and when Cyclops targeted their plane Metamorpho had to reveal himself to save the woman he loved. Stingaree confronted the heroes, seemingly destroying them with the chemical cocktail in his scorpion tail, taking particular pleasure in killing his former love, before turning his attention to the Staggs. Metamorpho’s body fell in salt-water, reviving him, and he saved Sapphire, and clipped Stingaree’s tail, rendering him helpless. As a last act of revenge Stingaree pushed a button to flood the European villages above their hq, but Metamorpho turned into a giant iron bulldozer, saving the day.
