History
A criminal mastermind who manipulated his brother into performing numerous criminal actions while under the influence of a strength-enhancing steroid. After his brother's death, he too took this steroid and found his intelligence much reduced - until signing his soul away to the demon
Neron. Using his combination of brute strength and great intelligence he took over most of the criminal operations in the city of
Blüdhaven, opposed only by the vigilante Nightwing. After some time, Blockbuster's mother died, a death which Blockbuster blamed on
Nightwing. He set out on a campaign to ruin the hero's life, taking away anything and anyone that mattered to him. When Nightwing was at his lowest, he stood by and allowed the new vigilante
Tarantula to kill his enemy. The police investigation into Blockbuster's death has been perfunctory at best.

Strength level
The exact limits of his strength have not yet been revealed. However, he has been seen to shake off the effect of 30,000 volts as well as collapsing buildings.
Weaknesses
Before his deal with Neron, Blockbuster was never considered a smart opponent. It is possible that the meta-gene had affected his mental capacity. He was very predictable and his moves were easily countered. After his deal with Neron his mental capacity has been greatly improved, and Blockbuster is now a master planner. He now no longer considers brute force as his greatest strength, and if possible he prefers to refrain from using his powers. However when provoked he is known to revert to his old brutal self.
