This version is part of an alien race called Hellgrammites who possesses the ability to camouflage himself as a humanoid, superhuman strength, and the ability to shoot spikes capable of piercing metal, though he requires DDT sources to survive as it is the closest analogue to his people's food. Additionally, he was imprisoned in a Phantom Zone maximum security prison called Fort Rozz before it crash-landed on Earth, allowing the inmates to escape. In the first season episode "Stronger Together", he is forced by fellow escapee Astra In-Ze to kidnap her niece Supergirl, but he is foiled by the latter's sister Alex Danvers and incarcerated in a Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO) facility. In the fourth season episode "Ahimsa", a DEO mole allows Mercy and Otis Graves to stage a prison break so they can provoke hostile relations towards aliens. After escaping and being hypnotized by Ben Lockwood into causing chaos, Hellgrammite attacks a carnival until he is defeated by Supergirl, though he kills the Graveses for appearing to threaten her before surrendering to the DEO.
