History

Roland Desmond was the brother of Mark Desmond, the original Blockbuster. Suffering from seizures due to the Dominator's gene-bomb, Roland was treated with experimental steroids. The treatment left him with superhuman strength along with enhanced durability and stamina, but lowered his intellect. With the Underworld Unleashed, Roland made a deal with the demon Neron and was given genius-level intelligence which he used to become the new crime lord of Blüdhaven, where Roland's mother lived. Blockbuster clashed with Nightwing on numerous occasions. He had nearly achieved total control of Bludhaven's organized crime and was looking to expand into Gotham City when he was killed by the new Tarantula.

Blackest Night

During the Blackest Night, Blockbuster's body was raised by a black power ring and became a Black Lantern.
