Lighting is an atmospheric discharge of electricity, a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 130,000 mph and capable of generating a temperature approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F). Such was the power displayed by Lightning Lord and the Lightning Master, masters of electrical discharge manipulation. Given their unethical attitudes towards society, this caused them to become psychotic menaces to humanity.Mekt Ranzz was a native of the world known as Winath-One, when he and his younger twin siblings were stranded on the planet Korbal-One. Seeking to lure lightning beasts to attack their space craft and recharge it in order to return home, the trio ended up bathed in the discharge instead and gained electrical powers as a result. Adopting the criminal of Lightning Lord, Mekt menaced the twins Garth aka Lightning Lad and Ayla aka Lightning Lass as a member of the Legion of Super-Villains, which often battled the twins' team the Legion of Super-Heroes on the Earth-One of the 30th century.
In fact, scant weeks later, Lightning Master returned, this time financed as an assassin by the mastermind Ian Karkull, who sought to have his supervillain servants slay future United States Presidents. Thankfully, the Justice Society was tipped off to this sinister scheme, and sent its members to protect these potential victims while capturing their predators. Superman with the aid of Johnny Thunder and his inhuman servant Thunderbolt defeated Lightning Master.
As for Lightning Lord, his emnity with both his younger siblings as well as Superboy and the Legion extended into their adulthood, when the Adult Legion faced Lightning Lord along with his fellow Super-Villains Cosmic King and Saturn Queen. Along with Lex Luthor, these vindictive villains tried to exterminated Superman... and failed while they were brought to justice!
