Biography
Early life
Russell Rogers was William Dey's best friend. One time, Russell and William were at a bar talking about how Russell was madly in love with Andrea Rojas and how Russell thought her family had secrets.[1]
Becoming Rip Roar
At some point, Russell became Rip Roar. As he was leaving his house, he was confronted by William who he convinced that Russell was killed by him. He then fought off William and escaped.
Later, Russell was contracted by Leviathan together with Caroline O'Connor, Breathtaker and an unknown man who could detach most of his fingers. Russell stole the Marathon Laser from Lex Luthor's vault in Fort Summit. He then met with an unnamed Leviathan agent to ask how he should use it. She ordered him to change the world. He then went to the Socorro Satellite Station in New Mexico to steal a particle amplifier and was confronted by Supergirl, who he blasted with his newly created Fusion Cannon so he could escape.
Russell took the Laser to Lake Vostok to create an enormous tidal wave. He blasted it at the frozen lake, unleashing an enormous flood. After creating the flood, he was stopped by Supergirl and J'onn J'onzz and incarcerated at the D.E.O. where he was questioned, although he wouldn't answer, and identified.[1]
