Originally a normal human from Pisboe, [[Virginia]], '''Aubrey Sparks''' was transformed into Scorch during the short "Emperor Joker" storyline. [[Joker (character)|Joker]] uses power stolen from [[Mister Mxyzptlk]] to create an alternate universe in which Superman is a villain and creates his own warped version of the [[Justice League]] which includes a psychopathic Scorch, a demonic doppelgänger of the Earth-Angel [[Linda Danvers|Supergirl]]. She attempts to help [[Bizarro]] capture [[Superman]]. After Joker is defeated, Mister Mxyzptlk decides to keep several of the new characters by adding them to the restored reality.
