Biography
Hunting Supergirl
Vartox hunted down Supergirl after she saved a plane that was transporting several D.E.O. agents, including Alex Danvers. He lured her to a power plant and almost killed her, being stopped by other D.E.O. agents.[1]
Death
While driving his truck, he was stopped by Supergirl and the two battled. When Vartox was about to kill Supergirl, she used her heat vision on Vartox's axe and the axe blew up. Vartox was fatally injured, and to prevent himself from being captured he killed himself with a fragment of the axe.[1]
