Richtor Maddox was a director at Belle Reve. While his "respectable" public guise seemed rather timid, his ring announcer persona was flamboyant and loud. He ran an underground fight club which he broadcast on the internet for an extremely high fee. Viewers could vote on if the match would end in death for one of the opponents and if death was chosen, the fight would continue until one of the combatants was dead. The participants were meteor-infected humans from the hospital with super-powers. Maddox found the Zoner Titan in a bar in Omaha and recruited him for the club. Titan proved to be ready and willing to fight just about anyone and soon became Maddox's main event.
Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan were tipped on the existence of the club by Oliver Queen and began to investigate. However, Lois Lane also started her own investigation and was accosted by one of the club's security guards, Athena. After seeing Lois and Athena spar, Maddox was impressed and put Lois in the next battle. Clark realized that Titan was not a metahuman, but a Phantom Zone prisoner, and sought out Maddox's club in order to defeat him. He located Maddox and showed him his ability to catch a bullet with his bare hand. Maddox allowed him to fight, but his first opponent was Lois. However, Titan's target was indeed Clark and he interrupted Clark and Lois' fight to take Clark on. Maddox was upset that Titan was ruining his show and tried to stop him. Titan responded by throwing Maddox across the arena and killing him.
