Can my supervisor prevent me from publishing by affecting reviewers opinion?
In a biology / bio-engineering discipline, the authorship standards almost certainly dictate that you must have your supervisor as a co-author.
As such, worrying about contacting journal editors is beside the point: you can't ethically publish without your supervisor's permission---not because they're your supervisor, but because they're your co-author.

The biology focus also may help explain your supervisor's reluctance to publish, as it's (unfortunately) common for biologists to spend years building up a "perfect publication" with no incremental publications in order to try to get into a "glamour" journal like Nature or Science.

Given this context, I would recommend simply including the work you've done in your Ph.D. thesis (which does not preclude glamour publication).  That will make it very clear that you have done the work, such that your name must remain attached to it.  Beyond that point, I would recommend not worrying about the author order either: in biology, it is typical to put the student first and the supervisor last; since "last author" is also a significant and prominent position, I would expect that your supervisor is unlikely to have a problem with you being first.

Finally, I would recommend that you have a clear discussion with your supervisor about the criteria for publication.  Not "when will we publish?" because the answer to that will probably be "when it's ready," but "what else needs to be done before we publish?"  Get that agreement clearly worked out between you, then confirm it afterward via email to create a timestamped written record, and then you can also feel it is less likely that publication can be delayed by shifting goalposts.
