History[]
Background[]
Tytus Octavius Xander was one of N-Tek's top agents and close friend to fellow agent Forge Ferrus. At some point, he created the N-Tek Toxic Substance Storage Plant, using early nanotechnology to contain some of the most harmful poisons mankind ever produced. Unfortunately, Xander grew impatient and tried to put the plant online before it was ready, leading to an explosion that burned him.
Xander blamed N-Tek and Ferrus for his new condition, later being put on a containment suit as he gained the ability to become more powerful from absorbing various poisons and toxins. After Xander grew more violent and became "Toxzon", he was captured and later kept in stasis at an N-Tek base in antarctica as they found a cure for him, but they were unable to.
Mutant Menace[]
Years later, Toxzon was still kept in stasis at antarctica until two scientists accidentally unleashed a dangerous toxic substance, allowing him to create a Toxoid and command it to help him escape, causing the facilities to be sealed, with N-Tek later sending Max Steel to deal with the issue. Unfortunately, Steel ends up releasing Toxzon as he wasn't told about him and believed he was an agent that needed help. Mere seconds after being freed from containemnt, Toxzon absorded some toxic fuel and attacked Max Steel, explaining his plans to cure the world as he effortlessly beat Steel before leaving.
With his new freedom, Toxzon went around various nuclear power plants, fuel power stations and chemical factories where he would access different types of toxins to create his army of Toxoids. While hijacking a group of trucks that were transporting toxic nuclear matter through some mountains, Toxzon had a second encounter with Max Steel, fighting the hero at the top of one of the trucks.
Looking for revenge, Toxzon infiltrated N-Tek and entered the toxic substance storage facility with his Toxoids. While the rest of N-Tek fought his Toxoids, Toxzon fought Max Steel inside the facility as he continue absorb a generations worth of the world's most vile toxins by opening the storage nano-pyramids that contained them. The battle ended with Max removing Toxzon's mask, exposing him to the non-toxic air which burned him, leaving him weak enough to be captured again.
The Toxic Legion[]
Now imprisoned at the sublevel 9 prison of the N-Tek base along with many other criminals, Toxzon took note of the arrival of Troy Winter, the villain formerly known as Extroyer, who was seemingly cured from his Morphosos disease and seemed to have reformed. While Troy dismissed his offer to join him and Elementor to form a group that would poison the planet, Toxzon decided to take advantage of the friendship between Max and the reformed Troy to escape. Making some of his Toxoids attack N-Tek, Toxzon successfully made Troy use his extraction powers to absorb the toxins from the Toxoids into his own body to defend N-Tek, inadvertently giving Toxzon the ability to control him.
Later that night, Toxzon made Troy become Extroyer and liberate all the criminals from sublevel 9, with him and Elementor escaping together as he transformed Extroyer back into Troy to keep up their ruse. Toxzon and Elementor went to a nuclear plant so he could absorb some nuclear sludge, after they were followed by Troy and Max, Toxzon made Troy transform into Extroyer to attack Steel and reveal his control over Troy to mock him. After beating up Max Steel, the "Toxic Legion" destroyed the nuclear plant and buried Max under the rubble. Arriving in the city, Toxzon sent Extroyer to acquire Anti-elementium at the natural science museum while he made Elementor absorb all the toxic energy he had.
After absorbing the anti-elementium Extroyer got for him, Toxzon became more powerful and forcefully turned Elementor into a toxic storm that would grow and destroy all life it crosses its path after making him absorb the anti-elementium inside of him. Unfortunately for Toxzon, Max was able to turn Extroyer back into Troy and throw him into the toxic storm, extracting the toxins from Toxzon and the storm, saving the city and beyond. With his storm gone, Toxzon had a final fight in the streets with Max Steel, claiming that Troy will always be rotten just like him, but he was ultimately defeated by Max and arrested once again.
Personality[]
Described as one of N-Tek's best agents, Tytus Octavius Xander was too headstrong and resisted authority. His arrogance and impatience led to the accident that burned him, leading him to blame N-Tek for his condition.
