Reign

Reign and four other Worldkillers were created by Zor-El, who later came to regret his part in the creation of those blood-thirsty, super-powerful monsters. Reign and her partners survived Krypton, but her origin remained a mystery even to her. All she knew about herself is her name and her being Worldkiller, and Krypton and Earth hold the answers to her origin.

When she tried to get to Krypton she found out that it was dead. However, Reign found Supergirl and followed her back to the remains of Argo City, hoping to find anything about their origin. Reign faced and beat Supergirl down, but Kara Zor-El could not provide any answers so Reign left Supergirl for dead and headed back to Earth to conquer the planet, starting with New York City. She was stopped by Supergirl's return to Earth while Reign thought Supergirl would join her, but the young Kryptonian refused to. Reign and three of her Worldkiller partners fought an exhausted Supergirl, but the young hero managed to hurt one of them. Unwilling to take the risk of losing one of her soldiers, Reign opted to retreat and leave Earth, vowing she would fight Supergirl again, and warning that she and her three partners are not the only Worldkillers.

While retaining an anthropomorphic stature Flint's flesh picked up the consistency of rocks and his skin started to look like limestone. Blaming billionaire Lex Luthor, the owner of LexCorp and architect of the failed experiment, for his destiny, Flint - who now started calling himself Rock - raided Luthor's penthouse atop the LexCorp Headquarters in the LexCorp Tower.
