Winn Schott Jr

Winslow "Winn" Schott Jr. (born 1987)[2] is a former technician of the D.E.O., and a former programmer at CatCo Worldwide Media who later joined the Legion in the 31st century. The son of the late Winslow Schott Sr. and Mary McGowan, the close friend of Kara Danvers, Alex Danvers, James Olsen and Mon-El, and the ex-boyfriend of Lyra Strayd and Siobhan Smythe. Together with James Olsen, he formed a small vigilante team, on which his code name is "Man in the Van". One of Winn's hacker's code names is "DOLLM8KER".[1]

Winn was born in 1987 to Winslow Schott Sr. and Mary McGowan and raised in Newark, New Jersey.[3] During his childhood, Winn was very close to his father and the two would often go to the latter's workshop and build toys. Unbeknownst to Winn, his father was already showing signs of being a paranoid sociopath, but he was shielded from this by his mother.[2]. Mary attemped to run with Winn, to a domestic abuse shelter under the pretense they were gong to Disneyland, Winslow ran Mary's car off the road giving Winn a concussion, Winslow threatened Mary if she tried to take his son away from him he would kill Winn.

When Winn was 11 years old, Chester Dunholtz stole his father's toy designs. In retaliation, Winslow sent a teddy bear with a bomb in it to Dunholtz, which killed six people. Winn watched his dad be dragged off to prison and his crimes exposed, which earned him the nickname "Toyman".[4] Winn was taken to the police station, where Mary was called to pick him up, fearing Winslow could still hurt Winn even behind bars, she was forced to abandon Winn which hurt her dearly.[5] Winn was then put into the foster system.[6] To avoid the scrutiny of being labelled the son of Toyman, Winn didn't reveal his relation to his father to anyone he knew.[4]

At some point, Winn met a hacker named Rabiah Zinoman and they became friends. He also adopted the codenames "ACTION252", "MUFUNGO" and "DOLLM8AKER" when he became a hacker.[1]

Initially, Winn was introduced as a tech-savvy IT guy who is Kara's best friend, for whom he has romantic feelings. He is loyal to Kara and her cause, helping Kara create her Supergirl uniform and providing them a secluded workspace to monitor criminal activity in National City, however he was disappointed when James found out her secret identity as well. His creative thinking and technical skills have allowed him to think of solutions no-one else have thought of, such as deducing Non's plan involving Lord Technologies satellites, uploading malware into Indigo and re-engineering protective armor for Kara and Clark Kent. His skills also earned him his spot in the DEO.

Winn is the jealous type when it comes to Kara, especially with her relationship with James. When he made his feelings known, he was deeply hurt that Kara did not feel the same way, but he eventually came around and having dating Siobhan, he has moved on from Kara and the two are once again best friends.

Family is a sore subject for Winn, as he is incredibly angry with his father for his crimes and fears one day he will become like him.

After his first field assignment on the Slaver's moon and helping James with his activities as Guardian, Winn has gained more confidence in his abilities in the field, relying more on his intelligence than physical prowess. This is most evident in teleporting onto the Daxamite mothership solo, freeing Mon-El from his cell, and hacking the mothership's security systems while on board. While the case can be made that Winn was the only one able to operate the teleportation device, the fact that Winn went rather than Alex proved he is confident enough to actively participate in missions.

Genius-level intellect: Winn is very intelligent, as he can think of solutions no one else has thought of, such as deducing Non's plan involving Lord Technologies' satellites. Both Clark Kent and Kara Danvers have titled Winn as a genius; therefore, fully acknowledging his intelligence. Computer specialist/Expert computer hacker: Winn is a highly skilled computer specialist; as he was able to upload malware into Indigo, and insensibly hack Hank Henshaw's cybernetic systems, banning him from shutting the portal to Daxamite ship, and even forcing him to attack Lillian Luthor. Winn is a highly skilled computer hacker, capable of breaking into any computer system, which makes him a valuable asset to both the D.E.O. and the Superfriends. His skills even extend to alien devices, having uploaded malware into Indigo, a living machine, reactivating a teleportation system, and figuring out how to hack into the Daxamite mothership security systems. He can also hack and reprogram cyborgs and most likely, robots. Master engineer: Winn is a highly skilled engineer like Cisco Ramon on Earth-1; as he was able to create 2 anti-Kryptonite suits for Superman and Supergirl respectively, to protect them from the effects of Metallo and Dr. Gilcrist's Green Kryptonite beams; despite it being a rush job. He was even able to create protective suits for both Kara Danvers and James Olsen. After James told him about wanting to become a vigilante, Winn was initially reluctant to help him, but followed through later. Along with fellow high-leveled engineer Lena Luthor, he was able to create a device, that destroys energy-based alien weapons and later, reconstructs Lex Luthor's Kryptonite-spreading machine into a lead-spreading machine. Multilingual: Winn is capable of fluently speaking English and Kryptonese. He also has enough knowledge of Starhavenese to translate a passage from one of their books[3] and Martian to answer M'yrnn J'onzz's question of where the bathroom is.[40] Skilled hand-to-hand combatant: Since joining the Legion, Winn has become a capable hand-to-hand combatant. He fought on par with his evil doppelgänger and defeated an army of flying robot monkeys.
