History: (Metamorpho I #3) - T.T.T. was a flamboyant and overexhuberant promoter who described virtually everything in hyperbole such as “merely terrific,” and “simply stupendous.” He started planning world domination and usurped the Grand Canyon property of American Indian Ominoreg to build Science Station Alpha, a aelf-sufficient and isolated station powered by a block of plutonium. He wanted to take over the U.S., but wanted superhero Metamorpho out of the way. He had his daughter Zelda seduce Metamorpho’s employer Simon Stagg, and when they visited the Station he showed off the newly discovered element extracted from meteorites that he named Staggium in honor of Simon and was most interested when it weakened Metamorpho, just like his scientists predicted. Zelda lured Simon away while T.T.T. introduced Metamorpho to his Thunderbird Robot, constructed with Staggium. T.T.T. unleashed Operation Super Colossal, taking over the U.S. by destroying their missile defense systems. Metamorpho evaded the robot, and their battle made its way to the Grand Canyon. The U.S. army was in the wings, but were hesitant about a direct attack on T.T.T., so Metamorpho signaled them to destroy the Thunderbird, enabling him to destroy T.T.T.’s Super Colossal devices that targeted U.S. defense systems. T.T.T. tried to take Simon and his daughter Sapphire hostage, but Ominoreg turned against him. Simon Stagg relived his college boxing days and knocked out T.T.T. for daring to have Zelda toy with his emotions. The U.S. government took over Science Station Alpha.
