Dr. Psycho

Dr. Edgar Cizko, Dr. Psycho is a telepathic criminal and sworn enemy of Wonder Woman. He was once a psychologist who was often mocked and ridiculed by his peers for his studies in psionics and the power of the mind, even giving him the moniker "Dr. Psycho", causing him to swear vengeance on all who mocked him. He later developed vast psychic powers that allowed him to enter and sometimes shape people's dreams, control minds, and project illusions.

Doctor Psycho's look is a short, balding man who has scars and bandages on his bald head. He also wears a neck brace that may extend down his spine to help him walk and run.

Doctor Psycho used his telepathic abilities to pose as a psychic in New York City. He would search through his customer's memories for bank account numbers, then rob them. He wore a cloak that covered almost his entire face, as he feared that the H.I.V.E. would find him. One day, he found Superboy battling Plasmus downtown. Due to the telekinetic backlash, the cowardly Doctor Psycho's astral form was absorbed into Superboy's body. There, he discovered Superboy's memories and, eventually, Lex Luthor's own astral form.

He would later find Superboy again and told him that he knows the truth behind him.He also told him that he and Superboy, together, can beat H.I.V.E and end everything. He helped him in his battle with the Dreadnought who was controlled by Psiphon. After ending the battle,he and Superboy became partners.

After being attacked by Psycho-Pirate, his origin was viewed by Superboy who was manipulated into going into a rage to fight Dr Psycho. He then revealed that he has every psionic power cataloged by H.I.V.E but was too weak to use them, but due to the time he spent around him he now had enough power from Superboy to do so. However, during his fight with Superboy, Psycho-Pirate removed his memories of Superboy's origins, which unfocused him giving Superboy the opportunity to defeat him

Later on Dr. Psycho has been recruited by the Secret Society and has been dispatched to Kandaq as an unknowing scapegoat, as the Justice League and Justice League of America storms his hideout convinced he had mentally influenced Superman into killing Dr. Light. The Martian Manhunter however finds that Psycho had nothing to do with it by mentally overpowering him.

Doctor Psycho's power lie in his formidable mental powers, both in terms of his criminal cunning and his telepathy. He is also a skilled psychologist. Due to his small stature he is a below average hand to hand combatant (in fact he is rarely seen fighting at all.) However, he is a masterful hypnotist and can use this gift on a nearly superhuman level.

Often he employs his psionic powers to warp the perceived realities of those around him, making things happen around him that are not really there or using his powers to make himself appear different. Such as impersonating Veronica Cale for some time while the real person was tied up in a closet. Also he appears capable of mentally dominating people, bending them to his will. He can create hallucinations, have one bend to his will, and even torment foes with their own fears. However his powers appear to be mostly ineffective against Wonder Woman due to the Lasso of Truth's proximity that allows her to see through his illusions. Also is appears baser minds are also immune to his powers as Catman was able to threaten him to go away with the pride of lions he was living with.

Dr. Psycho, due to his childhood trauma, has an almost infamous hatred of women, while it doesn't prevent him from working with them.
