Josef Lohmer (Earth-1955)

Colonel Josef Lohmer was a HYDRA member and master torturer under the orders of Red Skull and Vandal Savage.

Torturing Martian Manhunter
Colonel Josef Lohmer was called upon by the Red Skull and Vandal Savage with the intent on torturing the Martian Manhunter in order to acquire information about the whereabouts of the Justice League and the Warhawks. Lohmer used electroshock, knives, nails, and drowning in order to extract information from J'onn. However, the Martian was able to gain the upper hand and traded places with the colonel.

He shape-shifted to the form of Josef and left the cell, instructing two guarding HYDRA soldiers not to enter it. After some time, however, they entered, after hearing pleas for help, only to find the real Lohmer tied up in his own torture chair and gagged.

Personality
Josef Lohmer was a sadistic man, finding joy in hurting the Martian Manhunter through his torture apparel.
