Kivun Roxxas is a fictional supervillain in the DC Universe. Primarily a foe of the Legion of Super-Heroes, he first appeared in Adventure Comics #307 (April 1963).
Fictional character biography
As revealed in the story "The Secret Power of the Mystery Super-Hero!", Anton Roxxas, known as "Roxxas the Butcher", is the the leader of an army of space pirates. The Legion of Super-Heroes recruit a number of new heroes for their fight against the villain, including Mystery Lad, who joins the Legion with the stipulation that he won't reveal his powers. Mystery Lad is finally revealed to be Jan Arrah, the sole survivor of the planet Trom. The natives of Trom had the ability to transmute any element into another element. Roxxas, who wanted access to this power to create great wealth, attempted to force the natives of Trom to obey him. When they refused, Roxxas destroyed everyone on the planet. Jan was the sole survivor, having been off planet during the attack. The Legion and Jan manage to capture Roxxas and send him to prison. Jan joins the Legion under the name Element Lad.
Roxxas returned in Superboy #211, (September 1975), in the story "The Ultimate Revenge." After learning that Roxxas has escaped from prison, Element Lad tracks the pirate to Trom. Angry over the death of his people, Element Lad attempts to kill the former pirate, but is prevented from executing Roxxas by fellow Legionaire Chemical King. Element Lad's need for revenge is satisfied when he learns that Roxxas has been insane by his guilt over the [...] of Trom.
Post Zero Hour
Roxxas reappears in Legionaires #27 (July 1995) in a new form. In The New continuity, Roxxas is a Daxamite, and a member of the White Triangle. In an attempt to prevent the disbanded Legion from reforming, Roxxas killed Blok, a former Legionaire. The plan failed, and the Legion captured the villainous Daxamite.
