Abilities

 * Leadership: Adolf Hitler led the Nazis during World War II, allowing for the successful capture of large territories of France and the Soviet Union. However, these conquests were ultimately subverted by the end of the war, forcing powerful retaliation from the Soviets.

Behind the scenes

 * Historically, Adolf Hitler was a German dictator who was the leader of the Nazi Party, and Der Führer ("the leader") of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. He initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, later conquering many countries of Europe, including France and great parts of Soviet Union. Nazi Germany and its Axis allies intended to divide the whole world between themselves in the form of a New World Order, which is referenced by him being compared to the eventual world-conqueror Vandal Savage in DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
 * In DC comics, Adolf Hitler is, in a way, a supervillain in his own right, appearing a number of comics and continuities, always meddling with his projects to allow the Nazi Germany to win the war, by the use of superweapons or even enhanced metahumans of their own. In the once-main New Earth DC continuity, the resurgent Nazi villains, such as Baron Bedlam, tried to clone Adolf Hitler, but the resulting clone refused to participate in the atrocities similar to those of his genetic template, and ended his life in suicide instead.
