The Corruptor was a worker at a pharmaceutical company who manufactured psychoactive substances. He was exposed to the chemicals in a fire and gained the ability to bring out others worst tendencies.

Jackson Day was a factory worker at a pharmaceutical manufacturing company that specialized in psychoactive chemicals. A fire broke out at the factory and Jackson was doused with a mixture of chemicals. He discovered that the chemicals had affected his mind and body. His skin turned deep blue-black and was granted the ability to subvert the wills of anyone he touched.

Thor saved Jackson from the fire and made skin to skin contact. This caused Thor to lose his inhibitions against wanton violence. Jackson called himself the Corruptor and was defeated when the fledgling crimefighter Nova helped Thor regain his senses. Day was undergoing medical treatment when he reverted back to his Corruptor persona. He escaped and created a criminal organization called the Inner Circle where he planned to loot New York with armies of ordinary citizens under his control. His scheme was thwarted once again by Nova.

The Corruptor and his evil touch.
The Corruptor and his evil touch.
Corruptor would later resurface with plans to use the Hulk as his pawn. He resurrected the Night Flyer from the SHIELD morgue and commanded him to bring him the Hulk. The Hulk managed to turn the Night Flyer into ashes after he destroyed his hang glider. However the Corruptor was able to touch the Hulk when he was distracted and the green goliath was under his command. Corruptor also captured Rick Jones and his plan was to force him to summon the Avengers so he could subject them to his evil touch. However, Rick Jones sent out a radio signal with a shorter range and members of the Rangers arrived instead. They fought the Hulk and Rick Jones managed to help the Hulk regain his senses and transform back to Bruce Banner. The Corruptor was taken down by Red Wolf and Lobo and detained.  
 
Corrupter was hired by Imus Champion to distract the Avengers away from his salvage operation of an alien spacecraft. He did so by controlling the Squadron Supreme, who were at the Project Pegasus compound. The Squadron and Avengers squared off on two occasions, until Clint Barton foiled his plans.

The Corruptor managed to escape to Japan but was taken down by Sunfire. He would be held in the Raft but managed to escape during Electro's mass breakout. The Corruptor would join the Hood's syndicate during the split of the superhero community caused by the Superhuman Registration Act. They would battle the Avengers on a few occassions and was later seen battling the Skrull forces during the Secret Invasion crisis.

Powers and Abilities:
Corruptor has the ability to subvert the will of anyone he touches. The sweat glands of the Corruptor's skin releases a highly potent psychoactive chemical that overrides the inhibition center of the brain with anyone that has skin to skin contact with him. The victim will act in a highly uninhibited, selfish or immoral manner and the period of "corruption" varies and is dependent on the length of contact with the Corruptor and the amount of toxin absorbed into the victim's bloodstream.
