Colonel Computron is a DC Comics supervillain and enemy of The Flash.

The first Colonel Computron was a toymaker named Basil Nurblin, a disgruntled employee of Wiggins Toy Corporation. After donning a suit of armor that resembled one of his toy creations, Basil set out to seek revenge against his employer Willard W. Wiggins (president of Wiggins Toy Corporation) in retribution for being cheated out of adequate compensation for his invention of the popular Captain Computron toy.^[1]

Later Basil's daughter, Luna, took on the name.

Powers and Weapons

Colonel Computron's costume is in itself a portable computer system that harnesses the capability of determining to the nth degree the amount of effort needed to accomplish any psychical act as well as a powerful exoskeleton easily able to exert that force. Also, with the aid of his costume, Computron gains super strength, super swift reasoning, and the ability to construct sophisticated automations, called Blips.^[2]
