Located in Gotham City, Sartorius Labs is where Alex Sartorius conducted his nuclear research into eliminating cancer. He needed more funding and got it from crime lord Rupert Thorne. Once Thorne learned the results he was getting back from Sartorius were made-up, he had his family killed, implicated him in the act, and drove him to the lab. Thorne looked at the nuclear fusion chamber and mused that was where the magic happened. Sartorius begged to know why Thorne was doing this to him. Thorne told him he knew the terms of the deal: they funded his experiments, he made cancer go away, and they would get the results of all of those experiments to share with their "friends" overseas in Bialya. Sartorius knew it as a fascist regime. Thorne commented he tried not to be judgmental and reiterated it was just business. Sartorius pointed out he did what Thorne wanted and gave him all the results. Thorne became angry and confronted Sartorius on the doctored results the Bialyan scientists easily saw which in turn put him in a spot.
One of the thugs found a file that appeared to be the real results. Sartorius pleaded with Thorne about giving an oppressive regime nuclear secrets and thought of such a regime his late wife escaped from. Thorne mocked him for throwing his dead wife under the bus. Sartorius clarified he didn't think anyone would notice the made-up statistics. Thorne wasn't buying his excuses and ordered his men to pack all the files up and to grab the hard drives. They asked about Sartorius. He was shoved into the chamber. Thorne called it the age-old story of the nuclear scientist who goes crazy, murders his family and then commits suicide by atomizing himself with nuclear energy. They turned on the machine then laughed and taunted him. Sartorius didn't die and instead, Dr. Phosphorus was born. His mind snapped and he laughed as he left the laboratory. A bum was naturally frightened and ran off.
