The Calculator made intermittent appearances in DC titles over the years, such as Blue Beetle and Hero Hotline. The Calculator could also be defeated when his own weaponry was turned against him. This of course meant he could only be defeated by a new hero the heroes had many allies to draw upon. This immunity manifests itself as a force field, rendering a hero unable to touch or otherwise affect the Calculator. The button somehow analyzes the powers or tactics of the hero defeating him, and effectively inoculates him from ever being defeated by that hero ever again. After months of appearances, the Calculator's scheme is revealed. As he was defeated by hero after hero, he presses a special button on his keypad that would (as it was revealed to the reader in a thought balloon) "turn defeat into victory".
