Blockbuster (Young Justice)

Mark Desmond was an agent of Cadmus and, given the circumstances, probably knew about 'the light' as the board called it. He was soon appointed as head of Cadmus' genetic labs in DC. Then, after a small fire broke out at the ground level of the Cadmus facility, three sidekicks breached security and freed his top secret Project Kr also know as Superboy. Although Superboy turned on his would be captors, Aqualad was able to communicate with him and get him to change sides just as Desmond was about to clone the three before killing them. After an extended chance through the Cadmus facility, Desmond was forced to use project Blockbuster to restore 'order' to Cadmus. He fought the newly formed Young Justice team to a standstill before Robin devised a plan to electrocute him and bring the roof of Cadmus' ground level down on top of him. He is last seen being carried away, still unconscious, by the Green Lanterns.

• Super Strength: As Blockbuster, Desmond has enough power to take on the likes off Superboy and Aqualad at the same time and still come out on top.

• High IQ: As lead scientist of the genetics lab Mark Desmond probably had a PHD.

This version of Blockbuster is very different in appearance to any of his comic book incarnations, having purposefully been redesigned as it was felt the original version was too similar to the Hulk. His transformation in the series involves his "Blockbuster" form ripping through his human skin. He is shown as a senior member of Project Cadmus who uses the Blockbuster serum in order to combat Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad and Superboy.
