He wielded an axe that could cut through almost all matter, make dimesional rifts, cut a person’s air supply off, or even cut off gravity, according to Persuader’s mental commands. He even used his axe to cut through several rifts, and joined five-hundred different Fatal Fives to create the Fatal Five-Hundred.
He is often an enemy against the Legion of Super Heroes.
