Biography[]
Orlando Block was a mercenary and spy who had been hired by Oliver Queen to kidnap Lex Luthor and learn about the superpowers he had acquired while possessed by Zod during Dark Thursday. Block and his partner Wagner first stalked Lex, following his every move. Lex hired a private investigator named Robert Pontius to find out who was following him. Pontius tracked Block and Wagner to an abandoned warehouse, but was shot and killed by Orlando.
Block then ambushed Lex in an elevator, releasing sleeping gas that knocked him out. Block reported to Wagner that he had the subject (Lex). Block collected Lex and held him at the abandoned building inside a lab with a chain-link fence.
Block approached Lex stating he saw his powers on the only working satellite on Dark Thursday and threatened to kill Lex if he didn't reveal their source. Wagner objected to his methods, saying they were instructed not to harm him in anyway but Block didn't care and threatened to shoot Lex to make him start talking.
Lex claimed that he didn't remember how he got the powers and told Block the second-hand account of the event he had heard from his father; an alien entity had possessed him and that he had lost the powers as soon as Zod left his body. Block didn't believe him and shot Lex in the shoulder to see if he could coax him into using his powers, though this only resulted in Lex's injury. Lex finally made up a story that he injected himself with a serum that was located at LuthorCorp.
Block sent Wagner after it. Wagner objected at first, but Block threatened to kill him if he refused. Wagner complied and came back with a vial of serum, though Lex's story was a bluff because the serum was really a poisonous chemical. At the same time Wagner returned, Lana Lang who had discovered Lex's location, went to the warehouse but Block found her outside and took her inside into the caged area.
Block threatened to test the "serum" on Lana, but Lex pulled another bluff by stating the serum was tailored to his blood chemistry and would only work on him. Block stepped over to Lex with a syringe, only for Lex to headbutt him. A fight ensues; Lana freed Lex who then grabbed the syringe and injected the chemical into Block. As Block writhed in pain from the injection, he fired his gun several times that started a fire in the lab. Block soon lost consciousness and died from the poison, with his body burning in the fire.
