Mister Bones (Robert Todd) is a character in the , created by Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and Todd McFarlane, in Infinity, Inc. #16 (July 1985). A former low level supervillain and member of Helix, he reformed and joined the Infinity Inc. team, then later the Department of Extranormal Operations (a government agency which regulates superhero activity) as a bureaucrat, eventually rising to the rank of Regional Director for the Eastern Seaboard. Thus, he now wears a suit and tie instead of a costume, and is also known as Director Bones. A chain smoker, he had a habit of speaking in rhyme in early appearances, but he no longer does so. Keith David provides the voice of Mister Bones in Stargirl.

Dr. Benjamin (also known as Amos) Love, a gynecologist, injected six pregnant women with an experimental mutagenic drug. Each of the women gave birth to a metahuman child. Dr. Love kidnapped the infants and raised them himself, never allowing them to leave the house. The children learned all they knew from books, radio, and television. Later, the six young adults learned the true story of their origin from reading Love's diary and confronted him. They decided to execute him for what he did to them and Bones took Dr. Love out in the desert alone to kill him with his cyanide touch; the doctor begged for his life and Bones felt pity for him and let him go. Bones later showed the rest of his "family" the grave of Doctor Love. After the supposed death of Doctor Love and taking their cue from the superheroes they had watched on television, the six created costumes to go with the names Doctor Love had given them and called their group Helix with them taking on names like Penny Dreadful, Tao Jones, Kritter, Baby Boom, and Arak Wind Walker. Later, the second Wildcat (Yolanda Montez) learned that she was in fact a cousin of Helix's new member Carcharo and that they are both products of the same genetic experiments as Helix. The two teams battled to a stalemate and Mr. Bones was arrested while the others escaped. Later, Mr. Bones was freed from prison by Doctor Love. Carcharo soon turned on the Helix and kidnapped Mr. Bones. In the ensuing struggle Carcharo is stabbed with a long piece of metal and in a last ditch effort bit Bones's leg off, and then died from cyanide poisoning. To make sure Bones got medical care, Helix turned themselves in to the authorities. Mr. Bones received an artificial leg and Dr. Beth Chapel (Doctor Midnight) helped him recover from his injuries, and the two formed a friendly relationship.

Since they were minors, an informal court hearing was held to determine the fate of the members of Helix. It was found that Mr. Bones had too much of a negative influence on them. Infinity, Inc. was given custody of Bones while the rest of the Helix would receive treatment. For most of his time with Infinity, Inc. Mr. Bones was not a member of the team even though he took an active part in their adventures and became a hero in his own right, and was eventually accepted by most of the Infinitors. Racked with guilt, Bones left Infinity, Inc. When Dr. Love gained control of Helix and ordered them to kill Bones, Helix instead turned on Love, killing him. Helix then left in disgust, telling Bones he was no longer one of them. The Infinitors, though, granted Bones full membership in the team, but Bones's role in Skyman's death would end up being instrumental in their disbanding soon afterward.

At some point after Infinity, Inc. disbanded, Mr. Bones became Director of a local branch of the U. S. Department of Extranormal Operations (D. E. O. ), and as a D. E. O., Director Bones has had numerous interactions with the operations of the superhuman community. He later survived the encounter as he is seen with Atom Smasher in a bar in Justice Society of America (vol. 2) #27 discussing the aforementioned incident and the latter's position on the team. When Rothstein leaves with other Society members, Bones is seen on the telephone calling the Global Peace Agency.

In 2011, "The New 52" rebooted the DC universe. Mr. Bones is shown to be acting as the D. E. O. 's director and tasks agent Cameron Chase with capturing Batwoman. Bones now believes himself to be Col. Jacob Kane's illegitimate son. Efn|Jacob Kane, Batwoman's father, is also under this impression. Batwoman, Col. Kane's "Murder of Crows" elite paramilitary group, and the heroine Hawkfire fail to rescue Beth. Agent Asaf, compromised by Hawkfire, shoots Bones in the head after he threatens to kill Beth rather than hand her over. While on Earth Omega, Mister Bones was revealed to have shot down Cameron Chase ship and says that he made a deal with Darkseid to spare their Earth in exchange for others. Jade knocks down Mister Bones. After Darkseid has teleported all the heroes off of Earth Omega and back to their respectful Earths, Mister Bones was mentioned to have gotten away upon being returned to Prime Earth.

Bones' mother's exposure to mutagenic drugs during pregnancy gave him three superhuman powers, two of which are extremely inconvenient to his daily life: superhuman strength; transparent skin, flesh, and organs that give him a skeleton like appearance; and toxic, cyanide like sweat.

Mister Bones appears in Smallville Season 11: Olympus. This version was originally a member of Shadowpact during World War II before the group came into contact with Hades, who promised them eternal youth in exchange for breaking him out of his prison. After Bones failed to fulfill his side of the deal, Hades punished him by turning his skin, muscles, and organs invisible and his bones black. By the present, Bones has become the head of the Department of Extranormal Operations and uses a weekly treatment of body paint to appear normal and carry out day to day matters. Mister Bones appears in Stargirl, voiced by Keith David. This version is the director of the Helix Institute for Youth Rehabilitation. After being alluded to in the episode "Summer School: Chapter Ten", his subordinate Nurse Louise Love informs him of Blue Valley's super powered individuals and he makes plans to visit it in the episode "Summer School: Chapter Thirteen". In the episode "Frenemies – Chapter Eight: Infinity Inc. Part 2", he is visited by Courtney Whitmore, who convinces him to let Jennie Lynn Hayden help her brother and Bones' patient Todd Rice. Following this and taking inspiration from the Justice Society of America, Bones becomes inspired to form a superhero team of his own.
