An organic sentient being observed the evolution of dinosaurs, the meteor shower and the evolution of humans. It saw humans as a threat to the existence of other species and took some and settled in the Pacific. Over the centuries, it gained a reputation as an omnipresent spirit with no beginning nor end. Different cultures describe the same legend, the coming of an ominous, omnipotent presence and great suffering.
The famous children's author, Theodore Smiesel was overcome by the Centre's telepathy and wrote "The King of Monster Island," describing the Centre. After the book's completion, Smiesel committed suicide. After it rose in 1957, there was a steady rise in the number of related incidents-mass delusions, people hearing voices in their heads and violent acts. It came across Paradise Island and wreaked havoc on the Amazons. Princess Diana was able to escape and warn Superman before the Centre arrived offshore. A collective of government officials and super heroes formed a multi-faceted plan to defeat the Centre. While it was distracted by explosive payloads from outside and within, the Flash would expose it piece by piece with matter shrinking technology created by Ray Palmer. It sensed its end and attempted to make a suicide run at Cape Canaveral. The Green Lantern intervened and used its power to encapsulate the Centre and hurled it into space where it imploded.
