Winslow Schott, known to the media as Toyman, is a toymaker, terrorist, and former Queen Industries employee. He was hired by Lex Luthor to create kryptonite bombs around Metropolis to get revenge for his desire.

[edit] Early Life

Winslow Schott was a scientific inventor at MIT as well as STAR labs who was hired by Oliver Queen to work for Queen Industries. As a great mind though a bit eccentric, produce big profits for the company, but began to attract the attention when started to bring toys to work. He went too far when he decided on putting explosives in the toys, and this caused his immediate termination from the company. For six years Schott remained inactive, harboring a grudge against Oliver until he was found and hired by Oliver's great nemesis, Lex Luthor.

[edit] Season Eight

"The balloons, the monkey, the ridiculous costume you're wearing ... you're a clown, right?" Oliver Queen to Winslow Schott.

The Toyman

An angered Schott was sought out by Lex Luthor, who was on life support, to act as his assassin to get rid of all those who had betrayed him, starting with Oliver Queen and Tess Mercer after they stay with his company. Taking advantage of the hatred of Schott by Oliver, Lex watched him and gives orders through his clown puppet. Schott put a bomb with Kryptonite in the meeting room of the LuthorCorp Board of Directors, hoping that it could kill Oliver, but failed.

Following the orders of Lex, Schott put a bomb on the roof of the Daily Planet that could blow up the whole city, and later went to Metropolis General to definitively kill Oliver. He deceives a nurse to show him Oliver's room saying that he was a messenger and had a package for him, later tying Oliver to the couch. He places a time bomb shaped as a toy in front of Oliver as his revenge. Unfortunately for Schott, Oliver broke free from the handcuffs and then forced Schott to reveal where Lex was hiding.

Schott manages to go see Oliver

After tying up Schott, Oliver escapes from the hospital. When Chloe goes to visit Oliver, she finds the Toyman in Oliver's bed, who uses a whistle to spread a shutdown powder that leaves her unconscious before making his escape.

Oliver used the toy bomb of Schott to apparently kill Lex, leaving the Toyman to take the blame for the murder and effectively making him a fugitive from the law.

[edit] Season Nine

"Toyman is back" Chloe Sullivan, Echo

After months of inactivity, Toyman resurfaced and captured a group of people, strapped a bomb to an innocent man with a mask as a hidden timer, and placed in a factory of Queen Industries. Clark managed to rescue the hostages and after researching, he discovered it was Winslow who was behind it all.

The Toyman robot

Toyman wanted vengeance for getting framed for murdering Lex Luthor and then created a pressure plate system which he placed on the podium of the Ace of Clubs where Oliver would later stand to give a speech. He threatened to kill Oliver and everyone else in the gala if he did not confess to murdering Lex. Clark managed to get there in time to stop the detonation, only to find out that Schott was never at the gala - an exact robotic replica of Toyman acted as the detonator the whole time. Clark destroyed the replica using his heat vision.

The Toyman with his new Toy

Chloe Sullivan was able to locate Toyman, who had him arrested and sent to Stryker's. Tess later came to Winslow and shot him in the knee for trying to assassinate Oliver and said he was going to have much time to play with a new toy. Tess then gave Schott Metallo's kryptonite heart and ordered him to find out how it works, to the Toyman's awe and delight.

[edit] In the Comics

Toyman is a recurring villain of Superman in the DC Comics.

Toyman as he appears in the comics

In the comics, Winslow is known as the villain, Toyman. The Toyman first appeared in 1943 and appeared in several Golden Age Superman stories. Schott appeared less frequently in comics published after the early 1950s, but remained a semi-regular foe during the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

After 1985's miniseries Crisis on Infinite Earths and John Byrne's Man of Steel miniseries, the Toyman's history was revised, and the post-Crisis version of the character first appeared in Superman (vol. 2) #13 (January 1988). In this version, Winslow Schott is an unemployed British toymaker who blames Lex Luthor and his company, LexCorp, for being fired from the toy company he is working for. He uses his toymaking talents to seek revenge, which eventually causes him to cross paths with the British hero Godiva, and subsequently, Superman himself. The Toyman continues to commit various crimes in Metropolis, including engaging in child abduction. The Toyman later became a much more sinister figure, shaving his head and getting advice from "Mother". He developed a hatred of children, as he blamed them for not appreciating his toys.
